5th Sunday @ Living Hope...

Living Hope Family, I trust that your week has been fruitful and you have are spending time with the Lord in this incredibly busy season! The month of April has been exciting, as we have seen God move wondrously in our church family. We saw record crowds attend on Easter Sunday and D-NOW weekend. Let us remember our mission here in Marysville is not simply to grow a church, rather to advance the Kingdom of God! I look forward to seeing you this coming Lord's day and continuing our series in Acts with the changed life of Saul. Until then, please read several new updates and announcements below: Landscaping/Mulch... All hands on deck needed to spread mulch and do some edging around trees. Bring your wheelbarrow and shovels, and tools to edge around the trees. Show up as early as 8 am TOMORROW, Sat, April 28th. We will work on it through the day until it's done. Any questions - contact Bart and Peggy Jackson - 937.209.0305. Tree House this Sunday (3-5 years old)... Since it is the 5th Sunday this coming Sunday, our Tree House room will NOT be meeting to give the workers in there a Sunday off to rest and sit as a family. Since Pipeline did not meet last Sunday due to D-NOW, they WILL NOT be taking this Sunday off and will be in full gear! Have fun resting "Tree House" workers, and we hope everyone enjoys there time worshiping as a family! D-NOW 2012... Wow, what and incredible weekend we had this past weekend and in all honesty, it could not of happened without all of you who served! So, a special thanks to anyone that served from giving up their house, leading a team, enduring the amazing race, organizing food, and helping behind the scenes. Also, a special thanks to my beautiful wife for putting up with me during all the stress! Thanks again to everyone that helped out and had a hand in advancing the kingdom!

Between Sundays: Super Sunday @ Living Hope


Living Hope Family,

Yes, I am excited about this coming Sunday, and not just because of my NY Giants playing in the Super Bowl. More importantly, we have the opportunity to gather together and have the FREEDOM to worship Christ! During the month of January, there were a record number of visitors and one of the highest attendance months yet! The Lord truly is growing His church. We will be turning the page to Acts 7 and see how the Gospel was propelled out of Jerusalem & into the world through the radical obedience of a man named Stephen. Remember to stay connected to the Lord and others, not isolated. For all of you desiring to become members and take those next steps, please read below:

Become Members... The next, "iDiscover Membership Class" will be held on Sunday morning, March 4th. It will be from 8:30-9:45, and will be located at the school right before the morning worship service. Childcare IS available, but you must sign up for it. This class is designed to inform you of the vision & values of Living Hope and how you can take the next steps in joining the Living Hope Church family.

Baptism Celebration... Our next baptism service will be held at the local YMCA here in Marysville on Sunday, March 25th.

Baby Shower... Please join us for a baby shower honoring Beth Ellinger. She is having a baby boy! When: TOMORROW, February 4, at 1:30 pm Where: the Westbrook's (1913 Saddlehorn Way, Marysville) Contact Jennifer Westbrook or Autumn Reighard [acreighard@hotmail.com] for more information.

Be Ready... Click HERE to listen and see the worship songs we will be singing this coming Sunday morning.

Bible Study... Join us for our spring Bible study "The Chronological Bible Discipleship (First Semester)." "The primary goal of Chronological Bible Discipleship is to enable participants to understand the big story of the Bible and to gain a high view of Scripture as it alone reveals God as He is - not as we want Him to be or who we even think that He is."
When: Tuesday evenings from 6:30pm-8:30pm, beginning THIS TUESDAY, February 7-May 1. Where: at the home of Tammy Ervin (951 Kentucky Circle, Marysville) Please contact Jennifer Westbrook (jjcwestbrook@yahoo.com) for more information.

Bible Reading... Continue reading the Word of God with us chronologically, as we are entering week 6! Just a reminder, you can go to the church website by clicking HERE and find some helpful resources to read & study the Bible in different translations.
