Do you remember at the beginning of the year when I gave everyone a can of Coke with the label reading Give Live Love? I used those single words to help us begin to define what we were all about-- a way for us all to row in the same direction. (some of you will remember the boat analogy that we have been using) In the ensuing months i realized how much i disliked those words. Maybe i couldn't get away from them being ripped off from Coke. You probably haven't heard anyone use them since. SO we are taking those same ideas but using new words to describe the concepts. Are you ready for them??? Don't be too shocked by their profundity.GOD
OTHERS
WORLD
I know, I know, you had to catch your breath...
Really though, these are the three connections we want everyone (kids, teenagers, and adults young and old) to be linked to.
Connected to God through worship
Connected to Others through small groups
Connected to the World through serving
So there you have it. Some new words to help us all move in the same direction.
By the way, i mentioned that you would get a prize if you had that can of coke in your home and i found it sometime. So, if you are the first to bring that can to me, there will still be a prize for you.
Thats it for now, but you'll hear more soon.
grace & peace

I'm excited about the "vision" but I have to tell you that I drank my can of coke before I even left church that day! Sorry!

Sorry...our cans are gone, too! In fact, I'm not even sure we brought any home that day. :o( We missed you guys yesterday. Tell Tami we only had 2 kids in the Nursery: Johnny and Isabella; Tracey was there to help, too. Hope you're all well! Tell Tami we said, "Hi!"
