New Series: Grow

Dec 31, 2012 | Everyday Groups, Everyday Youth, Teaching

Most of us want to grow. We hope life is going somewhere. Whether it’s a better job or finding that right person, we’d all like this next year to be better than the last. While life is sometimes full of challenges, hopefully we’re at least facing new problems. And spiritually, who wouldn’t want to experience more peace? Or joy? Who wouldn’t want prayer to be more effective?

In Christ, God accepts us just as we are, but he doesn’t leave us that way. God is dreaming about more for us than we would dare dream for ourselves. 

Just as our bodies need food, water, and air, God provides all our souls need to grow. In this series, we’ll look at seven ways we can position ourselves to receive His growing grace. Whether you are prioritizing your spiritual life this New Year or bringing someone along who is open to new experiences, this series will provide very practical ways to feed and water our souls. Come discover how you can grow.

Best Gift Ever: All Good Gifts

Dec 11, 2012 | Podcast, Teaching

This week we welcome Nomi Network to share about their work freeing women from human trafficking. To learn more, go to www.nominetwork.org.

December may be the most chaotic time of the year. When we think about the first Christmas, we often think of it as peaceful, still, and calm. But in reality it was anything but peaceful, still or calm. It was chaotic!

A Christmas Service

Dec 10, 2012 | Events, Everyday Kidz, Teaching

In the hustle and bustle of office parties, family traditions, and gift-giving, don’t miss the Best Gift Ever.

Bring your family, your friends, or just bring yourself for a Christmas Service with Everyday Church. It’s good to block some time out now to focus on the things that really matter. Of course, we plan to have some fun too! Jesus’ birth brings “tidings of comfort and joy” after all…

When: December 23rd, 11a.m.

Where: 4862 Broadway *

Enjoy a Family Service, with Christmas Carols and a Story-time for the little ones (what does a father-son pair of Donkeys have to do with Christmas? You’ll find out!). We’ve also got some fun stuff planned, like a “nativity” Photo Booth, so you can capture some not-so-serious memories with your loved ones.

Jesus’ birth really is a reason to celebrate: he is the best gift ever!

“For God so loved the world that he GAVE his one and only Son…” (John 3:16).

Best Gift Ever!

Dec 3, 2012 | Post Topics, Teaching

There’s gifts, and then there’s gifts. Most of us have a story about a great gift we received once. Maybe it was that super-rad bike, or Barbie’s dream house, complete with her tiny make-up set. Or maybe it was something simple but meaningful, like Dad’s pocketknife or Mom’s favorite earrings.

Or maybe your’s is a story of the gift that never was. You can’t have a pony in an apartment, after all. “You’ll shoot your eye out!”

Regardless, Your Father is giving you a gift this Christmas. And not just a gift, but the best gift ever.

“For God so loved the world that he GAVE his one and only Son…” (John 3:16).
