This Sunday we will begin a new teaching series in REFUGE. We will begin studying the same passages that will be used for the Sunday morning sermons in the main worship service. This is not a substitute for our corporate worship service but a supplemental message designed especially for middle school students.Why are we doing this?This fall we will be making significant changes to our ministry

I hope that you are like me and looking forward to celebrating Jesus' death and resurrection this weekend. This is the best holiday ever! As a church we will commemorate Jesus' death in our Good Friday service this Friday (duh!) at 7 p.m. and celebrate his resurrection on Sunday.Just a reminder that there is no REFUGE this weekend. We will have two services on Easter morning--9:15 and 11:15.

The fabulous 4th Annual Amazing Race kicks off at 10am tomorrow (Wednesday) morning. Dress warm and dry, because it will be a bit chilly and wet, but that won't dampen the enthusiam as four teams of students (and leaders) dash through downtown Portland. New this year (besides some locations we've never hit before) is a post-race ice cream party at the church starting around 3:45pm (after the

This past Sunday we showed a DVD produced by Creation Science Evangelism to start exploring the issue of origins and worldview. In other words...Where did we come from? How did we get here? And why does that matter?Two weeks ago, we had an open forum Q & A session where I fielded questions from students concerning God, life, the Bible, or whatever. I didn't get to all of the questions, so I

As a belated birthday present, a group (maybe a gang) of middle school girls invaded my office and covered nearly everything in aluminum foil. The good part is that I am safe from aliens reading my email.

Do you want your middle schooler to care more for others and grow in their understanding of those who are poor and less fortunate than them? The 30 Hour Famine is a great opportunity for students to grow spiritually by fasting and raising money to assist World Vision in feeding children around the world. Encourage your son/daughter to pick up a fundraising packet and get registered for this
