Not So Random Acts of Giving
If you want to get better at anything, what’s the best way to do it? Wait for random opportunities or create a plan? The answer is obvious. The same is true about the way that we handle our money. God wants us to give generously. So what’s the best way to go about growing in our generosity? Waiting for random opportunities or creating a plan? The answer is obvious. Join us for a two-week series where we explore God’s plan for growing your faith and love by intentional giving.

Big Bang Faith
Science and faith are contradictory. Are they? God is just a psychological crutch. Sure about that? Evolution proves God isn’t necessary. Does it? Miracles don’t really happen. Never? Join us for a four week exploration of modern science and faith. Along the way we’ll meet scientists who are also people of faith. In the end you’ll have a better understanding of how faith and science complement one another. Or do they?

The Languages of Easter
What do you need to believe? We all speak different faith languages. Some of us just believe. Simple faith. Others of us need to experience God personally. Personal faith. Some experience God in the voices of others. Communal faith. And some of us need evidence for faith. Reasoned faith. Does God speak your language? Find out as we celebrate Easter 2012.

Prayers that Stick
Ever heard a prayer that just didn’t stick? Maybe it felt empty and flat, hollow, or even dishonest? The Bible is full of all kinds of prayers. But do they still stick today?

Serve Sunday 2012 – The Disciple
What is my calling? How can I serve effectively? One key to answering these questions is understanding your spiritual gifts. To prepare for our first annual two-week Serve Sunday series, The Disciple, we’re encouraging you to take an online spiritual gift inventory at www.assessme.org/2364.aspx. Plan for 15-20 minutes to take it thoughtfully. While you do not need to be a part of a small group to take the inventory, each small group in our church will be discussing each member’s results. On Sunday, February 5th, you will have an opportunity to then make a commitment/pledge to serve in the church for the next year. Taking the online inventory will help you make a more informed commitment. Why serve? Why commit? Because that’s what it means to be a disciple of Jesus.
