Christmas Play – 13 December
Dear Parents, We have begun to plan our Christmas service and, of course, our Christmas play! We are excited by the amount of children we now have at church and want to make sure everyone, that wants to be, is included in our play :-) Shirin has written a wonderful traditional piece and we'd love to have the kids from ages toddler to teen join in. As of 15 November, we will begin working on the play during our Sunday School. (Our
It’s November!
Dear Friends, This Sunday, 1 November, we’ll be celebrating the Lord’s Supper followed by our Sunday Brotzeit. The message will be The Real Thing: Putting the First Day First. We’ll be building on last week’s message regarding the importance of being a family of faith. Additionally, we’ll be considering the need and benefits of regular worship together. As I mentioned, God chooses to bless us as we meet together. Things happen during worship that we can’t predict or foresee. I love
Sunday Brotzeit
Following worship on Sunday afternoon at 16.00 hrs (4:00 p.m.), you are invited to join us for "Brotzeit" — "a traditional German savory snack native to Bavarian cuisine." What to bring? If you would like, please bring a little something for 6-8 persons to share. It's a simple potluck following worship so we can spend some time together before the start of the week. And yes, desserts are always welcome! ______________ Feature photo by Didriks via Flickr Brotzeit by me_maya via Flickr Dessert Platter

In Christ Jesus
Dear Friends, It is good to be back! As a quick update, I was able to get the necessary documentation, and was also in the States in time to take care of my dad. I had just arrived in California, when Shirin called to let me know that my dad had fallen and hurt his back and shoulder. Apparently, Dad got dizzy while in the garage and fell backwards. As I was still several hours away from him, I persuaded the local

God’s Omnipotence: There’s Nothing I Can’t Do
For nothing is impossible with God. – Luke 1:37 If ever there was something to rejoice about in the face of life’s most dismal and disillusioning things is God’s unimaginable power. It’s really beyond our mind’s ability even to grasp the extent of his great force, and we can only begin to approach it by contemplating what we now know about the universe. The ancient Hebrews knew that the whole thing was big and complex, but they never knew how big
