One of our members is having emergency heart bypass surgery today to clear 95% blockage that is life-threatening. Brad is an ironman triathlete who experienced mild chest pains in recent weeks and wisely went to his doctor. Please pray for God to use the medical staff for Brad’s complete healing. Pray as well for his wife Cathy, and daughters to Abi, 8, & Ruby, 1.
We will post updates here as they are available.
Trust in him at all times, O people;
pour out your heart before him;
God is a refuge for us. –Psalm 62
Today the Fall gathering of the season Gators was great. People “wore their colors”, battled at trivia, and enjoyed a wonderful “tailgating” lunch.
Hope to see those of you in the wisdom crowd at the Spring gathering.
We are celebrating 15 years as a church family. We’re digging out stuff from the vault to display God’s faithfulness. Here’s an ad we ran in the Sun in 1997.
Turn up your speakers and feel the joy of this 20 second greeting from Nancy Spikes

Di you ever wonder why Jesus’ favorite self-expression was “son of man”?
“Son of Man” has the double meaning of human being and, according to Daniel 7, exalted heavenly one. And Jesus means to communicate both of those.
The common understanding is that “Son of God” implies his deity—which it does—and that “Son of Man” implies his humanity, which it does too.
He was a son of man, that is, a human being. And he is the Son of God, in that he has always existed as the Eternally Begotten One who comes forth from the Father forever. He always has, and he always will. He is the Second Person of the Trinity with all of the divine nature fully in him. –John Piper
