We've heard the question often recently, and for every question asked, we've heard at least two rumors. So let's clear some things up. There will be a Foundations 2009. It will be July 29 through August 2. It will not be what you expect.There is so much more to tell, and we'll be releasing details this week at our Wednesdays at the Pecks gathering at 7:30PM on, uhm, Wednesday at the, uh, Pecks.

Matthew Paul Turner's church has been doing a series on fear. They asked him to write and present an essay on the subject. Matthew's a great writer, and I think the video is worth six minutes of your time to view.

Retreat 2009 is coming up in a week and a half. The retreat is about stepping aside, slowing down, spending time with God. Our theme this year is "Coming to God." We'll look at how we approach to God, how God sees us and spend some time looking at the very basics of prayer.One of our desires is to never let money get in the way of ministry. There are always economic realities to what we do, but

We're having a Christmas party on Saturday, December 20 from 6PM to whenever. We'll hang out, eat, listen to music, watch a Christmas classic and exchange gifts.Here's the catch. You can't buy a gift. You have to bring a gift, but it has to be something you already have, something you want to re-gift or something you make. If you make a gift, you have to already have the supplies to make the gift

NoiseTrade has made it through to the finals of the Open Web Awards in the music category against two popular online music services, Pandora and Last.fm.

Trust me. Go read Matthew Paul Turner's new book Churched. If you've grown up in the church or want to understand life from the perspective of someone who has, you need to read this book. MPT is a great writer. He'll make you laugh. He'll make you cry. He'll make you mad. But in the end you'll be glad you read the book. You can buy it on Amazon.You can also follow his blog from the link section

I've been suffering with a swollen foot this week. It's very uncomfortable, makes it hard to sleep and slows me down a lot. The doctor says it's gout. I'm on my second medication for it since the first anti-inflamatory chose to act as a pro-inflamatory instead. But the second med doesn't seem to be doing much either. So, pray for me. Thank you much.

We started studying the book of Ruth. It is probably the greatest love story in the Bible and has a lot to say about how godly men and women live their lives. There are underlying themes of God's providential care, grace and caring for others. Of course, the main character of the book is Jesus. Yes, Jesus. We're going to study the second half of chapter 2 this week. Hope you can make it.
