check out the hrc facebook posting

Dear friends of the voice...

I am sending you this blog to invite you to read the posting regarding the property update. You will find this post on the harvest ridge church group in facebook.

If you are already on facebook, and not a member of the HRC group, please click the groups I am part of, and find the HRC group...

If you need to, feel free to get a facebook account, and join in the fun!!!

I am getting really excited about all of the communication opportunities that the internet provides! This blog, facebook, and our church website are all great opportunities to connect with each other, and meet new friends. Let me know your thoughts on how we can better use these tools... What topics would you like me to blog about...

I hope to hear from some of you!!!

open house fun!

WOW! What an incredible open house yesterday. We had an incredible turn out this year. People enjoyed our wassail, all of the food, and the fellowship. And people stayed late (about 9:45) just to spend time together and play games. How fun!

I am so excited for the three families who attended this years open house - who even 3 months ago could not call HRC their home. Thanks to the great people of HRC for making new comers feel welcome, and like a part of the church family!

I thank God for the privilege to have people in our home! Thanks to all who came. For those who were not able to come, put it on the calendar for next year. Next year we will make an effort to clearly extend the invitation to all of our church, our family, all of our friends, and even my neighbors.

Continue to celebrate the birth of Jesus as the days of December pass... oh, and see you next year at the Pastor's Christmas open house 2009.

Finishing James

Tonight at our Prayer Meeting and Bible Study at HRC I will be finishing the book study of James (from the Bible). James is probably my favorite book of the Bible. I have had a great experience in my times of preparation for this Bible study.

I will look forward to some of you commenting on the book of James - or more directly, on the Bible studies... and the impact they have had on your life!
