I would be curious to hear some of your responses to the change of being willing to give something up for the month. Kellie and I have decided to be better stewards of our money and have decide to give up eating out for this month. What are you going to give up or thinking about giving up for this month and why?

Is the bulletin we get on Sundays available online anywhere? Specifically, I am looking for the snippet at the end about what to discuss in LTG’s this week. Thanks!

So we have 30 days to live. The question came up, what would Jesus do? One answer…reach out to others, feed the poor, relieve suffering. The answer?

If You are interested in jumping for Jesus, taking the leap, or as most of you know it as SKYDIVING, then let me know. I would lie to plan a jump for Oct 18th in Monterey. I have a friend that is a jumpmaster and has been for over 25 years. If I don’t hear from at least 10 people I can’t go. So get your friends & family together and come take a leap of faith with me. What do you think? call Frank asap if your in. 408-229-1779 hm/office or 408-316-6542 cell

Today in church we talked about the recent beliefs survey and who we thinks Jesus is. The general consensus was that Jesus is “A human ‘incarnation’ of God himself—Jesus is divine and is God.” I believe this as well but am getting hung up on the God/Jesus distinction. Why the different names? Why don’t we just say we worship God, and leave it at that, since Jesus=God? Is this just an artifact of our efforts to distinguish ourselves from Christians who don’t believe Jesus=God?

Under trees … branching,
Green leaves … reaching,
Worship God … singing,
God speaks … listening,
My life through Him … never ending.

We talked this past Sunday about being a saferous church. Here are a few of the posted ideas that centered around stretching your faith.

• Continue to address and respond to controversial matters
• Theological debate club
• Quit being soft on doctrine
• Wrestle with the question of gay marriage

Do you like any of these? Are any of these safe or are they dangerous?
If yours wasn’t included or got misrepresented, speak up!
