Side by Side Prayer Guide: Introduction

Sunday, February 19th, 2006

What you’ll find in the following posts is unlike what you’ve found in our previous Columbia Ridge devotional materials. There are no long passages written by me and no theological points I’m trying to “bring home” each day. Were there such things, I believe they would detract from what God wants to do [...]

Friday, February 17th, 2006

Well at this point we’re just a little over a week out from kicking off the Side by Side series. I trust that almost all of you at this point have been visited either in your home or elsewhere regarding Side by Side. I am so very excited about taking this particular journey together – [...]

Participate in Inheritance!

Wednesday, August 24th, 2005

As part of the Inheritance this fall, we’re thinking all things “legacy.” What does that mean? Well, it means, in part, that we’re reworking the sanctuary to give it a home-like feel. You can be a part of this by clicking on the bulletin insert below…and discovering that you might have something to bring to [...]

God at Work in Inheritance

Tuesday, August 23rd, 2005

I just finished an extremely cool meeting this afternoon with JoLinn Kampstra, the publisher of the Mt. Hood Gorge Connection circular here in Troutdale. Actually, her paper hits homes, apartment complexes, and businesses here and beyond, up to Sandy, Persimmon, Fairview, etc.
Anyway, what was so wonderful about the meeting is that JoLinn is considering [...]

Hey everyone just a quick note because I’m thinking about it.
Karen Hawley has been doing a great job on our design elements for Inheritance. I just wanted to say that publically and to give you a quick picture of what I mean. Here’s one of the logos for the series…and this is only the tip [...]

Just Another Conference…or so I thought

Monday, August 15th, 2005

Like many of you, I saw the Leadership Summit inserts in the bulletin. I listened to enthusiastic announcements regarding the conference. But in my own head…I thought just another conference. I have been to so many Leadership conferences they are all the same. In fact, I didn’t even sign myself up! I called [...]

A Defining Moment

Saturday, August 13th, 2005

I have discovered my holy discontent, experienced my burning bush monent, and heard God’s assignment for my life. I don’t know where I am going, but I know who is leading me, and I accept the challenge laid out before me. All this in three days.
