I like the rhythm we have going the last couple of weeks.Text in the morning. ConTXT at night.Last night, we moved the ConTXT event into the Worship Center.The event itself featured a panel discussion moderated by Chris Thayer our Discipleship Intern.Rich Tuttle, our...

I can't wait for Sunday.I feel that most weeks, but especially this Sunday, June 13.I'll be attempting something I've never quite tried before. To borrow a cliche, it's "outside of my comfort zone."But I believe it has the potential to be extremely helpful in the...

This is how I like church to go. In the morning, we launched Text Message, a series about the nature and scope of the bible.Then to supplement the Sunday morning teaching, we offered the first of our ConTXT seminars on Sunday night.As Sunday morning rolled around, we...

It's a bit of a risk doing a series on work when so many people are out of work.So we decided to tackle it head on.Because as many people as there are who "hate their boss," these days there are even more who hate that guy or that girl who used to be their boss. You...

We have several of these teaser billboards scattered around town.This one is my favorite, especially the blogger's facial expression.The billboard, microsite, and post cards have all helped to create a buzz around The Office series.The buzz continues this Sunday as we...
