After Jesus

I certainly can't speak to the validity of this program, but I guarantee you I would be watching it tonight if we had cable and if it wasn't during the North Beach Christmas celebration.

Is Consumerism Killing the Church?

A very nice 5 minute read to keep your fire burning bright...as if you need more fuel on your fire in our genesis stages anyway...

Commissioning Service

Hey everyone...
Please read the email below that came from my dad:

Ryan,
Hey I want us to pray for you and all of those who are going with you to plant The Well. I was thinking about doing it on Saturday 30th and Sunday 31st? I don’t know if they could all be there for all 4 services or if some in each service? Let me know your thoughts.

This is the equivelant of a commissioning. I'd really love for all of us to be at all 4 services to stand on the platform and get prayed for. Can you guys respond to this blog and let me know if you think you can make it? If you can't make all 4, which ones do you think you can make? The more, the better.

It's going to be an emotional day for me and Shannon. It will be our last time to lead worship / sing on the vocal team at Northview. Then, to have the church commission us and pray for us will make us all the more "weepy." It's bittersweet, for sure. We can't wait to begin meeting with you all in January.

Have a great day!
Ryan
