We have voted and it is official - we are going to be looking at options to move out of the plaza! Be in prayer about the location God has in mind for us. How can we best serve Lordstown? You can listen to the Visioning sermon from June 10, 2012 on our website.

This Sunday is Father's Day - a special time where we can celebrate the men in our lives.  

I hope that you are having a great week! See you Sunday~

By the time you are reading this, I will be relaxing with my family.  Vacations are important - even God rested!  Have you taken some time for yourself and your family recently?

This Sunday is a very exciting day!  I will be preaching about vision and how to fulfill the vision that God gives us.  Where is Harvest Point Church going? How are we going to get there? What has God called us to? 

With our space increasingly limited (an exciting challenge!!!) this Sunday we will take a very important vote, a vote that will determine the direction we are headed as a church.  Please be praying for God's will, wisdom and direction as we come together. 

Blessings~

It is the last week of May! Whew, can you believe it? 

This week I will be on vacation and Brian Smith will be preaching.  He will share with you about the mission of the church.  What are we called to as the people of God? The mission of the church has been the same through the ages (though it may be played out a little differently).  Read Matthew 28:16-20 in preparation. 

Praying for you~

Hello, friends! We are coming up on the last part of May! What a year we have had already.  How has God blessed your 2012 so far?

On Sunday, I will be preaching on Civilized Christianity and the Way of the Barbarian.  This sermon was inspired by Erwin McManus' small book "The Barbarian Way."  Our faith is not to be tame.  Christians are to be bold...courageous...risk takers! Be ready to be challenged!

Greetings! I hope that this finds you well on this beautiful spring day.  Take a moment to breathe in God and remember that God has given us life for today - use it well. 

This Sunday I will be preaching from Luke 15 and I will be talking about the many ways we slip away from God and how to return to God as fully functioning members of the body.  Human beings do not drift towards God - we always drift away.  We must keep this in check. 

Stay after church today to discuss our Luau committee's.  The planning stage is under way!

This week is Mother's Day and whether it is a mother or someone else, we all have women in our lives who are supportive, loving and deserve our thanks.  Thank you mother's, aunt's, grandma's, sister's, and other women!  We appreciate you!

This Sunday will be a special day as we have a baby dedication and will hear about mother's after the heart of God in the sermon.  Come as we honor the women in our lives and hear a word from God. 

Blessings to you~

Today we celebrated the life of a dear and Godly woman, Ruth Sipka.  I feel blessed to have been a part of her life.  Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in me, even though they die, will live, and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die." John 11:25-26.

This Sunday, I will be preaching on the Kingdom of God, read Chapter 13 of Matthew in preparation.  Which one of the parables means the most to you? Come Sunday as we discuss God's Kingdom and what part we have in it. 

You are loved!
Pastor Shannon
