Good morning!
I am just finishing up my message for Sunday before I head about an hour north to spend the weekend with more than 50 other guys from Discovery! I am really looking forward
to spending my Friday night and Saturday hanging out and having a blast. But I am also excited for the challenge this weekend will provide.
At Discovery we like too have a good time, but we like to have a good time on purpose... and my hope for this weekend is that we will all be challenged to be the men that God has called us to be.
Then on Sunday, we will be continuing in our series
The Bible Doesn't Say That by attempting to undo another common belief in our world.
The phrase that we are going to look at this week is the idea that
All religions are basically the same. That all faith traditions are just describing a different path, a different road, a different way to the same God. It may be said in different ways, but all religions are basically the same in the end.
This is an important topi and you will want to be at Discovery this week. So bring your thinking caps as we dive into the deeper side of the philosophical and theological pool. It is going to be a good Sunday! See you then if I don't see you tonight.

"Merge" Retreat for Young Adults
Saturday, October 21 * 9 AM
Merge is a one-day fall retreat for local young adults in Pittsburgh. It's an opportunity for young adults from different churches across Pittsburgh to gather for worship, teaching, prayer, and conversation. This year we're focusing on the "Holy Ghost", an older phrase that is just unfamiliar enough to make us reconsider what we think we know about the Holy Spirit. The early bird cost is $16 and includes meals for the entire day from breakfast to evening s'mores. Go here for more information or to register. Questions? Contact Todd. Space is limited, register early.

Each month we'll engage in different projects and objectives to serve others throughout the year in local missions each week.
