I am so glad Awana has restarted, as we help elementary students learn God's Word.  Pastor Jennifer and her team work so hard to make that ministry a success!  Also, our excellent student ministry continues to disciple teenagers and impact our community.   Way to go, Pastor Josh and Brooke! This Sunday, I will pick up my teaching from August 16, and I'll continue the CIL FORWARD series about the CIL vision.   This message will be more than a speech about organizational development. There will be plenty of Scripture shared to give us a full meal in God's Word.  Remember, when God shares His distinct vision for a church family, that vision is for you!   We are the church, so God is developing people in our spiritual family. Make Sunday at 9 AM or 10:45 AM a priority, either online or in-person. May the Lord bless you and keep you! ...

Happy Friday to you!    We had such a powerful worship experience last night.   We took that evening to lean into the "Spirit stream" and found refreshing in the Lord.  Last Sunday, I started our vision series CIL Forward and shared our identity as a Three Streams church.   Here is the chart that we shared during the sermon about the Biblical basis for a Three Streams identity.   You can also watch or listen to the teaching here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oX3-wPjA0A8&t=1s I'll continue the CIL FORWARD series on August 30.  This Sunday, Pastor Aubrey McGowan will be preaching, and you will be blessed.  Aubrey always brings us an enjoyable and thoughtful message from Scripture. Make Sunday at 9 AM or 10:45 AM a priority, either online or in-person. May the Lord bless you and keep you! ...

  This Sunday, we thank God for the 12th Anniversary of CIL Church. The year 2020 has given us too many reasons to mourn, so we will celebrate this spiritual family by acknowledging this milestone.  Sorry, no special snack or gift if you come to church - ha!  We will simply offer thanks to the God who birthed and sustained us through the years. I will speak about the vision of the church in a message called CIL Forward.  It will be interesting how the Holy Spirit will speak through this since our world has changed since we last had a vision message.  I am excited about the message!  Pray for me as I finish preparing. Our live stream is in real-time at both 9 AM and 10:45 AM, so make one of those time slots a priority, whether in person or online. May the Lord bless you and keep you!     Sharing His Love Globally     Jeff and...
