Blessing Bags
When we introduced the blessing bags, we asked that (once you handed yours out), you consider sharing that story with others.
Whether it was amazing or awful, scary or easy, it’s great to hear about the experiences of others.
So, with that in mind, here’s my story:
Pastor Wayne Wrzesinski
I am grateful to have the opportunity to serve as the interim youth pastor at East Hills and The Grove. I grew up in Castle Rock in a house that my parents still live in to this day. We were always involved in church and I really felt like ministry as something God had for me when I was around 15 or 16. I was a student leader when I was in youth ministry, played on the worship team, and helped with video for youth throughout high school.
Tough Guys & Drama Queens
SMaRt begins its fall study on Sundays from 6-8 p.m. in Pastor Jon’s office at the East Hills campus this October. Co-led by Becky Cooper and Jennifer Sharer, the ministry began “as a way for moms of teenagers to fellowship and share ideas, celebrations and struggles,” they said. “Last year we covered topics such as social media, dating, disrespectful attitudes, church attendance, brain development, eating disorders, pornography and so much more.”
Kidville: The place where children learn that adults care and that Jesus loves them
The House did a short interview with a couple of Kidville’s special teachers. Shea Craver & Shann Gilman.
Shea has been teaching about 6-7 months in the preK/kindergartenclass at The Grove.
Shann has been teaching Kidville for about 7 years, starting out as a helper on Saturday nights at East Hills. She is now the campus leader for Kidville at The Grove, and still teaching.
Are We Going To Be Okay?
A time of transition always leads to a lot of questions, and a church is no different. People ask all kinds of questions of who, what, when, where, why, and how. Most of the questions seem to fall into one of two categories: “Are we going to be led well?” and “Are we going to be okay?”
Women's Bible Study - Jean Imholte
The Bible study Chris led "Women of the Bible", was a video series followed by discussion and prayer. Each week we learned about a different woman from the Bible and we saw what challenged them, how God used them, and how those same types of challenges can be used in our own lives for God's glory.
Women's Bible Study - Monica Wrzesinski
I am so grateful that Chris Jenkins stepped up to teach "12 Women of The Bible." I had the privilege of being one of the table leaders and really enjoyed getting to know the gals at our table.
