EASTER II WEEKEND WORSHIP April 6th & 7th

EASTER II WEEKEND WORSHIP....APRIL 6TH & 7TH

We will continue to celebrate and proclaim on the Easter II Weekend..
HE IS RISEN!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will be leading the Traditional weekend worship...and sharing the message:
From Walking Dead Into New Life:  This weekend The Story of Thomas..

Usually the weekend after Easter is a downer....it should never be...
this is when the real power of the Easter message touches so many people in the resurrection appearances of Jesus to many people..

TheWalking Dead series on AMC is about zombies ...
If you think about it..
Those who do not know Jesus Christ are spiritually dead and according to the scriptures are walking dead.

It is when the power of the resurrection and the presence of Christ permeates a dead heart that a person become new and alive.

This weekend we will celebrate From  Walking Dead Into New Life ...the story of Thomas.

Come and receive Life in Christ!

Stay Faithful and Finish Well,
Your Pastor & Friend

LENT V..WEEKED WORSHIP AT CUMC...

LENT V....WEEKEND WORSHIP AT CUMC..... MARCH 16TH &; 17TH

What an awesome journey we have been on during this special and holy season called Lent...
We have been sharing what it means to give up more than choclate or cheescake for Lent..
We have been going deep with issues of things that have hold of us that we need to give up in order for us to be a DEEPER AND MORE COMMITTED FOLLOWER OF JESUS CHRIST.

This weekend  I will be leading the Contemporary Services sharing about Giving It Up...Giving up our Lives...We need to turn it ALL over in order for us to be a follower of Christ that will make a difference in the lives of other around us.

Giving up our lives is not easy but when we do....WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The difference we feel...the pressure that is off...the smile on our face and the growth that will take place is unreal..

So beware....this weekend  I will be challenging those who attend the Contemporary Services on Saturday night Crossroads 6:14 and Sunday Morning 9;45am AM...to
GIVE IT UP..GIVE UP YOUR LIVES..;

HOPE TO SEE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stay Faithful ; Finish Well,
Your Pastor & Friend

LENT IV WEEKEND WORSHIP.....GIVING IT UP....GIVING UP OUR ENEMIES

LENT IV WEEKEND WORSHIP....MARCH 9TH &; 10TH...

GIVING IT UP!.....GIVING UP OUR ENEMIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This weekend we will be going deeper into this Lenten Season and in this whole idea of Giving It Up.
I wish I could tell you it is getting easier but facing us this weekend we will be sharing the idea of Giving Up Our Enemies.

I will be leading Traditional Worship and sharing how important this Giving UP is for our spiritual growth and well being.

I invite you to come this weekend and grow deeper into your faith during Lent and also dive into the realm of Giving Up Enemies.
Now if you say ...I don't have any....you are very blind.
Anyone who is a follower of Christ has enemies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
According to the teachings of Jesus if you don't have any enemies you are not following him.
We need to be able to deal with them and let the love of God be flowing through us.

So...
Giving It Up this weekend.
Come and Give up an enemy or two.

Stay Faithful and Finish Well
Your Pastor & Friend
