Even now, take your stand and see this great thing which the Lord will do before your eyes. 1 Samuel 12:16 The goodness and the grace of God continue to be poured out daily for those who love and serve him. It is a grace and blessing to be a part of all the good […]
You answer us with awesome deeds of righteousness O God our Savior, the hope of all the ends of the earth. Psalm 65 To witness the work of God and his awesome deeds is the greatest blessing anyone can have in life. But you have to be watching and waiting for them, or you’ll miss […]
Besides the official start of autumn (my favorite season of the year, unless you count Christmas as a season), this weekend is the third in our current message series all about responsibility. We’ve been saying, obviously enough, responsibility is accountability for the obligations we’ve taken, it’s honoring the boundaries and rules and limits and laws […]
If you were with us this past weekend, you know it was pretty special. Here are (just some) of the highlights: 1. Ministry Leaders worshiping together on Friday evening. 2. The band on Friday evening (which is also our new band for the Sunday evening Mass) and their amazing music. 3. The second week of […]
Last weekend, our fall launch weekend was a blockbuster, with almost 4,000 people in attendance. God also showed up and the place was definitely charged with his Spirit.

We’re still talking about the Mass. Tom is focusing on the Liturgy of the Eucharist, especially the communion that we […]
Weather wise this has been an amazing week, if you don’t count earthquakes and hurricanes. This is also the third week of our current message series, which is all about the Mass. Tom will be speaking about the Offertory of the Mass. I heard his message yesterday and I can tell you, it is challenging. […]
This is week two of our current message series, taking a look at the Mass. Today we’re looking at the Liturgy of the Word (liturgy means work). At Mass we read the Scripture, but not in a linear way from Genesis to Revelation. Instead it comes in cycles, that are repeated every three years. Interestingly, […]
This weekend we kick off a new four week series all about the Mass, we’re calling it “Do This” because the Mass is something Jesus told us to do. In fact, it’s the last thing he told us to do before he died. The series also anticipates the new Roman Missal (if you need to […]
