God loved you when...
- you were far from Him
- you told Him "no"
- you refused to trust
- you were afraid to obey
...and He loves you now.
Allow God to draw you to Himself with his everlasting love and unfailing kindness.
Happy Valentine's Day!

"What is cast won't last."
The first message of the Fear Not series tackled the topic of anxiety, "the fear that won't make you run, but won't let you sleep,"
as Pastor Lincoln defined it.
How do you deal with anxiety?
This week's message studied 1 Peter 5:7: "casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you."
So, what does that mean and how do we do it?
Did someone specific come to mind? Invite them to join you for the series, or share the sermon video with them.

Sunday, February 5, we launched a 3-week outreach emphasis called
Tell Someone. We want to start off 2017 being intentional about loving our neighbors.
As part of
Tell Someone
, we're asking you to take the 3-2-1 Challenge between now and Easter Sunday.
THIS WEEK:
- Write down the names of 2 people you want to invite to Easter at Shandon. Begin praying for opportunities to tell them about our Easter events. We'll provide some invite tools as we get closer.
- Start your neighbor map: Create a simple map of about 8 homes around you (in front, behind and/or on either side). Write in their names and make a plan to reach out to at least 1 neighbor you don't know well in the next couple of weeks. Here's a printable map, and this resource can help you figure out who your neighbors are.
- Continue praying for the list of 3 neighbors that you made last week.
THIS SUNDAY:
Everyone in
every class will hear the gospel this Sunday! I'm praying that you experience a fresh gratitude for your own salvation and that you'll invite a family member or friend to come join us. (And we'll have Krispy Kreme donuts in Sunday School for everyone!)
Pray for God to move this Sunday!

4 EASY WAYS TO HAVE A FRONT YARD MINISTRY
|
|
by Erin Carroll
We didn't set out to become "front yard people." We weren't mission-focused, and we weren't intentional. We became front yard people because our backyard is a big steep hill, and it's not easy for our three kids to play back there. So ever since we moved into our home three years ago, we've played in the front yard and in the driveway.
