Hello!
What a wonderful week it has been so far here in Anderson. I have greatly enjoyed being able to relax and enjoy the worship, the sermons, the connections and just the whole Gathering in general.
The preaching has been wonderful and inspirational. I have heard the hearts of ministers from all around the globe who have put their hope in God. They have spoken about Christ - the head of the church, they have encouraged us as the body of Christ to stand together, they have spoken honestly and shared their stories. It has been wonderful to hear from these men and women of God.
The worship has been uplifting and emotional. I have learned new songs, sung the hymns of the church and listened as saints (in other languages) sang out the praises of God.
I have had the opportunity to meet with the delegate that we sponsored from India, Sudipta Nanda, and hear about his ministry. I have had conversations with many pastors, missionaries and others who are doing the work of God all around the world.
This has been a great week so far and there is more still to come! If you want to participate by watching online go here: Global Gathering.
Thinking of you,
Pastor Shannon

Hello! I hope this finds you all well, it's finally (officially according to the calendar) summer! I'm so excited for the things we have planned this summer, I hope you'll get involved.
This coming Sunday I will finish preaching from our series THIS OR THAT: Allowing God to Transform. I will conclude the series with the difference between Allowing life to happen and Choosing to live purposefully. Are we in charge of our own lives? Yes, we choose to let life pass or make choices...what would God have for us in this?
This week Brett and I are in Anderson, IN like every June. However, this year instead of a regular North American Convention, the Church of God is putting on a Global Gathering! So far it's been an exciting time and there are a lot of ways for you to be involved:
1) You can go to the Church of God website and get information: CHOG website (You can watch the services there too!)
2) You can come Sunday night (June 23) and experience a worship service with a live feed from Anderson at 7:30pm at our church.
3) You can keep up with this blog through the week, I will post about the experience and what I'm learning!
Blessings to you,
Pastor Shannon

Happy Father's Day to all you men out there who have supported us, loved us and helped us with our journey!
This coming Sunday Susan Tatarka will continue preaching from our series THIS OR THAT: Allowing God to Transform. She will discuss with you the difference between Going to Church and Being the Church. Is there a difference? Is the church a place or a people? Come and find out!

Greetings! What an exciting time to be part of God's church! I feel so blessed to be walking this journey with you.
We are currently in a series called THIS OR THAT: Allowing God to Transform. We have heard about some of the ways that we can transition from functioning in our own humanness to how God would have us to live in righteousness. This week I will be preaching about being Men of the World vs. Men of God.
This week we also celebrate those men in our lives that have supported us, loved us and helped us to grow.
Blessings~

Hello! Here we are, already into June! I'm looking forward to a great summer with lots of fun things happening at the church including a Steak Cook Off (this week June 9th at 5pm), the annual Luau (August 10th), a pool party, and much more!
On Sunday I will continue preaching from our series THIS OR THAT: Allowing God to Transform. This Sunday I am focusing on vision. What is the difference between being Vision Doers and Vision Seekers? Are we focused on the right things?
I am praying for each one of you -
