Reflection During the Christmas Season
The first time Christ came to earth was as a baby. The second time will be as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords! Christ’s first and second comings are our focus at Christmas and also our challenge. It’s a challenge because at Christmas we are bombarded with consumerism, constant busyness, and anxiousness.

“Two Kinds of People…”
“There are two kinds of people in this world — the clueless and the repentant. Those who are open to looking at their life and those who are not. Folks who know they need God to change them, and folks who are expecting everyone else to change. We have great hope for the first group; the second bunch is choosing ignorance; the damage they are doing is almost unforgivable.” –John & Stasi Eldredge (from the Love & War DVD series)
Haiti Missions Trip
A Missions Trip to Haiti just for Seniors (age 55 +) is being planned by Foursquare Missions, January 19 – 28, 2011. There will be relief work done, but it will not be extremely labor intensive. Flying into Port au Prince, they will travel to Jacmel, Haiti, where there is an orphanage (approved as an FMI Haiti Relief project).

Life Chain Pics
On Sunday, October 3, we hosted a “Life Chain” along Washington Street in Waukegan. We held up signs (in English and Spanish) about protecting human life. Not only were we hoping to send a message to the community but we were also silently praying for our community and country. Thanks to everyone who participated! [nggallery id=4]
Study on “The Shack”
Starting Saturday, October 16, at 5:00 p.m. there will be a new series led by Bill & Linda Walters.

Life Chain 10/3
Sunday, October 3, there will be a “Life Chain” outside, along Washington Street. This is our chance to stand up for the “protection of human life” in a peaceful, silent way. As we hold signs (in English and Spanish) which endorse the value of unborn life, we will silently pray for our nation.
