We're back at countrysideblog.com

Change to a new year and look what happens...

The staff is working at getting back in gear on the blog, so we can keep you up to date on what is happening in the community called Countryside, and also to just encourage our walks in Jesus Christ.

Pastor Graham and I just got back from a quick trip to Israel where our primary intent was to begin to investigate missions opportunities for our Fellowship's trip/tour to Israel in March of 2007 (details coming soon.) We shared quite a bit last Thursday night, and even showed some pictures. Because of some technical difficulties which didn't show those pictures off in their "true colors," we'll be showing them again before and after services tomorrow morning.

The Garden Sacrifices and Burnt Offerings BBQ is back tomorrow, and the Superbowl Bash and Chili Cook-off is back next weekend. There's a lot going on, and it'll be showing up at countrysideblog.com (that's here!) and in your Inbox as Countryside eNews very soon.

Mike and the crew are set to head to The Mission in February. There's still time to sign up to go. Mike will be posting info to the Blog right away so you can get in on this great ministry opportunity.

As we look forward to our worship and study together tomorrow, and in the week ahead, let me encourage you with the hope and the power of the resurrection of Jesus. We're going to be finishing the Gospel of Mark this week and the resurrection and it's transforming qualities are staring us all in the face. I pray the Lord will prepare the whole of the Body to hear what He has to say and experience the power of His resurrection (Philippians 3:10)!
