Hello Everyone!
It's hard to believe that it has been six weeks and that we are already coming to the end of our series. Last Sunday Sharmese did a great job of bringing us along in our story of Joseph and painting the picture of how we can sometimes get caught up in our own family drama. That drama, if left unchecked can lead to hardened hearts and missing out on the strengths and joys that God intended our family lives to be. The key to working our way back to God's design starts with forgiveness. It may be one of the most powerful tools we have in our walk in this faith. Don't miss out on what God has for you. Master the gift of forgiveness and you will be amazed at the changes you will see in your life and even your health. If you missed last weeks or any of the messages in this series you can find them online HERE or on the podcast HERE.
THIS SUNDAY - Proverbs 18:24 says that a true friend sticks closer than a brother. Joseph has a slow start, but ultimately sticks with his brothers and becomes the source of their rescue. While we are consistently presented with the majesty of Jesus as Savior, King, and Lord, for those of us who have embraced that relationship, we also get to know Him as a brother. The parallels between Joseph and Jesus are many, and this Sunday we take a look at Jesus as our big brother.
If you didn't get a chance to get to a Life Group this week and listen to Max Lucado teach us about Joseph, it isn't too late. There's one more you can get to this Sunday morning at 9 am. Look for the Alexander Lounge at the Community Center and help us talk about it and understand better how this applies to real life!

Hey! Have you noticed the reading plans that have been on our outlines for this series? There is a short passage of scripture for each day that compliments what we are covering each week in the message. It only takes a few minutes to do.
Sharing in the joys and challenges of life with other people who care for us leads to a rich experience in our journey with God. We get to practice what God is teaching us with others who will listen, challenge, and nurture us. We get to practice new skills, use our talents and gifts, and serve people in our community with others who we know and trust. Life groups are great ways to connect with others in the church as well as a way to create a comfortable environment for you to invite friends who may not be comfortable yet with showing up on a Sunday morning. Great relationships make life better and richer! Check out one of our Life Groups for yourself and experience the difference relationships make.

Do you have an idea for a Life Group? It all starts with PASSION! What gets you excited and what do you enjoy doing? Whatever it is, it's usually even more enjoyable when it is done with others. Life Groups are all about getting together and building relationships. The groups don't need to center around a Bible or book study. For ideas or help, please contact Shadi.

Psalm 133 - How wonderful, how beautiful, when brothers and sisters get along! It's like costly anointing oil flowing down head and beard, Flowing down Aaron's beard, flowing down the collar of his priestly robes. It's like the dew on Mount Hermon
flowing down the slopes of Zion. Yes, that's where God commands the blessing,
ordains eternal life.
