Fellowship Luncheon this Sunday!
Potluck
It is a HillSong tradition that when we celebrate Communion, we also share a meal. This Sunday, August 4th, we will be celebrating Communion. Please plan to bring a covered dish to share for the Fellowship Meal that is after the worship service, then, stay for the food and fellowship.

Note that we have changed when we have communion and church luncheon to the first Sunday of the even months of the year (Feb, Apr, Jun, Aug, Oct & Dec).  Our next church lunch will be October 6th.

There will be games, including a Nertz table, and activities for all ages. Learn a new game! Teach one to others! Or just come for the fellowship and food! Time together is what this is all about.

Thankful for Long Walks  - from Pastor Rob
Walking the path
        I was on a walk this morning, a little over 2 miles. I have been walking a lot this summer. The arthritis in my left knee, first identified in 2004, has worsened of late. It has been about 3 months since I went on a run and I'm not sure when I will again. Actually saying that out loud, or in this case writing it, can be scary or depressing, depending on how I think about it. I have lived robustly. I have hiked up mountains, received black eyes playing full contact rugby, survived army basic training, and endured vicious hits on the football field. I don't feel grateful for limitations.
        However, this morning I did. OK, I wasn't grateful that I have knee pain. I was grateful that in spite of the knee pain, I can walk 2 miles or 5 miles. (I don't know how I'd do after 10).
        I was thankful because I feel so happy while walking. I feel so close to God. Read more
