How did we do it? How did we ever live without this guy Billy Mays yelling at us to buy all the junk he&#8217;s selling. Oxy-Clean, Kaboom, Handy Switch, Steam Buddy, Samurai Shark, Awesome Auger, Hercules Hook, Zorbeez, Engrave It.

This is the final note on our Core Beliefs - &#8221;Relationships and Spiritual Growth Happen Best in Small Groups.&#8221;
If you want to grow a friendship, you spend time with someone. You get to know them better by asking questions and hearing their story. You find out what makes them tick; what their interests are, where their passions are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterdays MicroMission was a splash as we did the $1 car wash. The twist was that we paid those who came in $1 for allowing us to wash their car and share God&#8217;s love with them. 

The reaction is always one of disbelief and near shock. There was the older couple. She got out of the [...]]]></description>

                           It could happen to you! 
We went out for our second Summer Sunday MicroMission last Sunday to the Coliseum Festival Giant Midway. Our mission&#8230; hand out free freezer-pops to the festival goers. We passed out maybe 15 pops when the carny boss lady came up and told us we couldn&#8217;t do it because it would take away from [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[     Core Belief #4 - There&#8217;s always room for one more.  

At the crux of this idea is that we, the church, are never fully complete until all are integrated into the family of God. There must always be an attitude of welcome and openness in the body of Christ for everyone - everyone. Too often churches develop [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In certain circles the perception of the church has been that it looks down on some people. Sorry to say that but the way some churches or church people have acted has been less than warm and welcoming. This is simply unacceptable!

		<description><![CDATA[For us, Scripture forms the foundation of our faith. We see it as our standard for everything spiritual and believe it contains everything we need to know for the practice of the Christian life. 
We believe further that Scripture is most responsibly interpreted using the Christian community&#8217;s best gifts of reason, tradition, and experience.

But then again we&#8217;re all a little strange aren&#8217;t we?  John Ortberg even wrote a book titled &#8220;Everybody&#8217;s Normal Till You Get to Know Them.&#8221; So we don&#8217;t put on like everyone is perfect, we know we&#8217;re not, [...]]]></description>
