Have you ever seen the movie Planes, Trains and Automobiles? I just saw it this past weekend and was reminded why this movie ranked right up there with Kindergarten Cop as a couple of my favorite movies when I was in elementary school. The movie centers on the travel between 2 guys, Steve Martin and John Candy. Basically, Steve Martin is a busy business man trying to get home for Thanksgiving….who is joined by John Candy, as the most annoying person in the world. So, what’s this have to do with service? It got me thinking…as to how is it possible to serve people completely unlike me? Why would I serve someone that gets on my nerves? Is it my problem or theirs? Why should I serve this person, when it seems like I get nothing in return? Why am I looking for something in return? We hope to tackle some of our current ideas of service and what it means to live as a servant in our next large group.
Hey guys, guess what…It’s ON! We’re bowling this Saturday. Meet at Vine Campus at 5:15pm. PLEASE RSVP. Hsu.Raychien@gmail.com
We’ll be having dinner afterwards. Come join the fun….join the competition…join the fellowship.
How has your prayer life been? Why do you pray? When was the last time you were fascinated by God? Many Christians wish they could spend more time praying but find that their minds wander and their hearts grow weary after only a few minutes. Do you know how to pray? Join us Friday 1/4 at Vine Campus, 7:30 pm as we explore these questions.
So….Olivia (Living Water) has suggested the name “Salty Water and Living Light” as a title for this large group event. She also suggested…”Living….Sea and um…..Light” If you guys think you can do better, leave a comment on this blog for your suggestion. Either way, let’s show up on time and spend the time worshipping together.
