Pray for Frontline Camp

Frontline youth ministry is taking a record group of students to Panama City Beach, Florida, from June 23-26, 2017.  As a Jr. High student, my life was changed forever at a beach camp.  I am so happy my three teenagers get to experience God with their friends in such a positive setting!

IMG_0418Thanks to our youth team – Pastor Matt Malone and youth administrator Kyle Davis – for putting together this great trip (Here’s a picture of those guys and me a few weeks ago).

And thank you CIL for supporting our teenagers!  Your prayers, financial support, and supportive attitude is making a huge difference in many teenager’s lives.

The Joy of Prayer

Our summer message series at CIL is titled The Joy of Prayer.  Pastor Deborah did a great job kicking off the series last Sunday (June 11) when she taught on contemplative prayer. From the influence of that sermon, I have taken more time this week to be aware of the presence of God.  Thanks Pastor D for pointing us to Him.

Take a listen to that sermon here:

Sermon on 6/11/17

I look forward to preaching on June 18, 2017, a message titled Partnership with God. I have learned some key concepts about prayer through study and reflection that I want to show you through this message.  No additional guilt will be placed on you from lack of prayer (we can all do better in this area).  However, this message will provide an opportunity to see the incredible privilege of pray.  Join me at CIL at either 9am or 10:45am.
