Pastor Ned’s Message
  Sunday Morning: “I Quit: Making Excuses”

         His freshman football teams were legendary in our community. Every year they finished the season undefeated. No matter how much the community or school begged & pleaded with Coach Ed “Fireball” Helgeson to move up to varsity, he insisted on only coaching the freshman team.  
        Legendary too was Ed’s trip to the Middle School each Spring, where he addressed a mass gathering of the 8 th grade boys to deliver the same simple message; one that went something like this:  “Regardless of what’s happened in your past, you have the ability to make next Fall the beginning of the best years of your life.”
        How did he know that? What gave him the confidence to make such a bold & outrageous claim?
  Starting this weekend and continuing through the end of summer, during our, “I Quit” weekend message series we’ll be naming (4) critical barriers to spiritual growth and hearing God’s invitation to do what from a human standpoint we may think impossible: make Fall 2019 the beginning of what could be some of your family’s best years ever. 

Living for Jesus!

Thank you!
Keep up-to-date with the
Living Water Community Hope
      For weeks, we’d planned a mission trip to Buffalo, NY. For weeks, we’d planned to bring the hope & joy of Jesus to inner city families where those things are in chronically short supply. Little did we know that all along God was preparing us for something very different; how we would respond to our community’s overwhelming needs following last weekend’s massively destructive storm. To follow the progress of and/or join your LW Community Hope mission team and participate in future work, please click here .  

       A huge THANKS! to all who have faithfully gathered up and carried in their pop tabs for the Marshfield, Wisconsin, Ronald McDonald House. This Sunday we’ll be packaging them up for shipment. Please email Lindsey Wood at  linz_o@hotmail.com with any questions. Again…thank you for supporting this hugely important outreach to families staying at the hospital, caring for their children.  

Summer JAM Sundays
