New Teaching Series: JOSEPH

https://vimeo.com/65984385

To any one living in the real world, the cliches of commencement speeches, self-help books, and motivational posters ring hollow.

Follow your dreams. Believe in yourself. Reach for the stars.

Really?! Most of us will never be a professional basketball player, or the President, or an international business mogul. No matter, because there is something much bigger, much better, and much more certain than our own dreams and abilities.

Meet a man whose life story reads like box-office smash, and is rich with application for our lives today. He was betrayed by his brothers, enslaved by a foreign nation, falsely accused and locked away in prison. But then, when all hope seemed to be lost…

Meet a man who dared to dream bigger– who dared to dream God’s dreams– and learned something we need to understand today.

Meet Joseph: God’s Dreams Come True

Pray For Us: An Update From Nathan

Everyday Groups 2Exciting things have been happening in Everyday Groups!
      * The Youth Group experienced their first baptism and moved to Friday nights.
      * The Family Group went on a field trip to the MET and had a great time.
      * The Inwood Group planted a garden for the students of Inwood Academy for Leadership.
      * The Creativity Group launched this Sunday with great success.
As you pray for our groups, I’d like you to do 2 things:
     1) Praise God for what he’s doing through your group. How has God effected your life through it?    What’s your favorite thing about your group? Tell God how thankful you are. Be specific.
     2)  Pray for a group that you are not a part of. Pray for God to strengthen and protect them as a spiritual family. Pray for their leader. Pray that God would use them in big ways to further his kingdom. Be specific. You can find info about other groups here: Everyday Groups.
 
Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. – Ephesians 3:20

Serve! … and volley… and backhand!

Tennis 2012_Web4Everyday Church is sponsoring a free tennis clinic for kids in 1st-5th grade, June 13th & 14th 3-5:30pm and June 15th 8:30-11:00am. Experienced tennis instructors are traveling to NYC from one of Everyday Church’s partner churches (Southeast Christian Church) to offer their expertise.

We’ll introduce area kids to tennis, and teach the basics of play through a variety of fun exercises. In years past, neighborhood parents and students have expressed appreciation for this fun, free, enriching activity.

If you know a 1st-5th Grader who would like to participate, or if you are interested in volunteering with us, contact Wendy.

 

Teaching: Pay No Attention to the Man Behind the Curtain: What’s Really Going On Here? 5/26/13

Is life supposed to be this difficult? Am I blowing it, or is God holding out on me? What’s really going on here? There’s the reality we see with the eyes in our heads, and a deeper reality we can only see with the eyes of our hearts. Without wisdom to see through all the smoke and mirrors, we’ll never experience the full life Jesus promised.

You Can Help Plant the “Everyday Garden”

The Everyday GardenAfter we painted a beautiful mural for a local school called Inwood Academy for Leadership, they named their outdoor seating area the “Everyday Garden.” Now the Everyday Inwood Group is taking the next step! This Sunday, we’re going to do some digging and planting. You can help us make something grow. In the future, we’re dreaming about planting food, and even educating local students about nutrition.

Get your hands ready for a worthy cause this Sunday, 12p-2p. Invite a friend along– anyone is welcome to come.

For more information, contact Kate.
