 New Chiller is up and running!
You may have noticed a slight chill in the air in our Sanctuary over the last couple of weeks.  This is coming from our new A/C which is working quite well.  The Sanctuary will be on the chilly side again this weekend so make sure to dress accordingly.  Thank you for your patience as we get the system dialed in and operating the way it should.  Over the next few weeks the temperature will be stabilized to an appropriate level.



Friends for the Journey...
Pastor Doug

When it comes to the Apostle Paul, opinions of the man, and the theologian, span the spectrum. Author of thirteen of the twenty-seven New Testament books, we have a love/hate relationship with Paul. None the less, everyone needs a Paul in their life.

For Paul it was all about the proper attitude. Paul, despite his faults and failures, was a man who possessed an attitude grounded in God's faithfulness, and an abiding trust in God to be faithful. The proper attitude is the difference between success and failure.

John Maxwell in his book, "Leadership Promises for Everyday" writes:
Author Denis Waitley says, 'The winner's edge is not in a gifted birth, in a high IQ, or in talent. The winner's edge is in the attitude, not aptitude.' . . .
