Pastor Ned’s Message
Sunday Morning: “A Godsequence”

    Ruby’s Pantry last week held two wonderful, beautiful surprises. First, we received pallet upon pallet of frozen bread which needed sorting. How would we get it all done before noon, we wondered? Then, just as we were scratching our collective heads, a small army of scouts – more than we’ve ever seen on a Saturday morning – showed up needing something to do. How could we keep them all busy?
    The lightbulb came on and the room threw up a heartfelt prayer of praise to our Lord, “Thank God!” And in no time at all, the bread was sorted and the distribution began.
    Ever had it happen? When the right people showed up in the right place at just the right time? 
    While some might be at a loss to explain this unexpected blessing, my grandmother was quick to give credit where she knew credit was due. 
“It’s a Godsequence!” she would exclaim (a ‘mashing’ of the words God + coincidence). “Yes, a Godsequence,” we would reply in unison. And no more needed to be said.
    We close out 2019 with a final look at the Christmas story and its message for all of us looking to identify the generous and gracious hand of God in our lives and world. The message from Luke 2.22-40: “A Godsequence”

Living for Jesus!

January Message Series: "I Choose”
        Who are we today? Essentially, we are the sum total of choices, the majority of them made by us. Who will we be tomorrow? The decisions we’re making today will determine our ‘who’ and ‘what’. Choices matter. Join us Sunday, January 5 as we kick off a brand-new message series that  holds the power to shape your life for the better, in 2020 & beyond. 

      We’re super excited to welcome Todd & Sally Schieffer as the new leads for our Sunday morning Welcome Teams in 2020. Greeting our guests is a hugely important ministry of hospitality. Please sign up at Clipboard Central or by emailing the Schieffers at :  schieffesal@gmail.com

Staffing Update
         The new year will bring two significant and exciting changes in staffing at our church. Lisa Armstrong will be moving into the newly created PT position of Media Director. In this role, Lisa will coordinate, manage and be the lead for Living Water’s social media presence. 
       Stepping into the position of Office Manager will be Janine Hansen, one of the founding ministry partners of Living Water. Janine will be in the office each week, Tuesday-Thursday.  

  • Sunday, December 29 there is no JAM. We are looking forward to seeing you on Sunday, January 5 when JAM resumes. 
 


Yellow JAM Room Cleaning
      In 2020 we are excited to be giving a small but important gift to the awesome JAM teachers who work so hard each week to share God’s love with our littlest ministry partners at Living Water: a clean room! 
Clipboard Central has a signup sheet for anyone willing to serve others through Christ by signing up to clean the Yellow JAM room one (or more) weeks this winter/spring. Thanks!
