Unto us on a child is born…blah blah blah…..look, it’s Christmas. It is Jesus birthday. We are not gonna be all solemn and serious and bore you for an hour and then send you off to have fun elsewhere. If you come, you may as well have fun. Communion will be birthday cake and grape soda. We will sing some songs, and yeah, I will say something about why this day si important…but I am not at war with Christmas, if you tell me happy holidays I am cool with that…but I have something to say about Jesus…feel free to eat cake and drink pop while I yap. Hope you can come.

We all have beliefs. Belief is natural and easy. French philosopher Voltaire once said, “Si Dieu n’existait pas, il faudrait l’inventer” (“If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him”). But what if we were to strip away the beliefs we have with the doubts that lay in each of us? Would we find something and someone real….more real than the images we have created, or would we find our darkest fear to be true, that what we believe is wrong..or worse yet, that there is nothing beyond the curtain. We will explore this month this very concept.

This is your chance to talk from your heart and mind about Sin and Grace. We will also be having tangible active worship…so instead of music you get to see and feel and touch stuff that reflect sin and grace.

Those of you who were not there last week may need to know why this is our topic.

Often, when Pat meets someone new, they have questions when they find out he is a pastor. They want to know if this thing or that thing is a sin. If it is…can you get around the sin angle by tweaking it a little or just doing it on Tuesdays? These conversations drive him nuts and he tells them to sin boldly.

What if sinning less is not the point of Church?

What is this thing called grace anyway?

Lockport recently lost one of its own in a horrible bike accident. Kevin Bain,a husband, father, friend and brother to many, was killed earlier this month. We want to not only pray for safety of all our riders, but we want to also honor Kevin’s memory and help his family.

The blessings, medallions, and food are free regardless of who you are, but we are asking for donations. All donations will go to Kevin’s family.

At 1:30 there will be a brief memorial in Kevin’s honor.

We spent a month on Abram and Sarai. We found a promise from God is still on even when things get messed up and we do things that make no sense. So bring a dish…something a little bad for you and something good.

This is week 3 of Abram and Sarai.  This is the week where the community discusses Abram and Sarai from Genesis 11-17.  In week one we talked about the calling to leave home, pretending they were not married in Egypt, Lot and Abram splitting up because of all their stuff, the big war with a bunch of kings where some fell into tar pits, the rescue mission to get Lot back, the maid getting pregnant with Abrams kid, the deal with God called a covenant, and God really does not like being laughed at.  Would love to hear your thoughts on this story.  Hope you can come.

Oh yeah, we will also be introducing the board.
