Wireless Hotspot Upgrade

by John Collins on September 30, 2007

We just upgraded the free wireless hotspot in the church from wireless-g to wireless-n. If you’re not a geek like me and that doesn’t make sense, let me just summarize that the free wireless service we provide at the church is now faster and extends farther.

VeggieTales Movie Event Reminder

by John Collins on September 29, 2007

Our next movie event will be shown Sunday, October 14, 2007 at 4:00 pm.

We’ll be watching The Wonderful Wizard of Ha’s, the latest edition in the VeggieTales series by Big Idea. The show is based on the parable of the prodigal son. Big Idea provides the following description:

“Meet Darby, the son of a Kansas floss farmer who just wants to have fun! When he learns about the Wonderful Land of Ha’s, where you can do whatever you want, Darby is determined to go –– even against his father’s wishes.”

“But when Darby reaches Ha’s, will he find all that he searching for … and at what price? Will it be worth everything Darby has given up –– his home back on the farm? His father’s love? Harvesting floss? Find out in the all-new family adventure that reminds kids everywhere that there’s nothing like forgiveness and there’s no place like home.”

This movie event is open to everyone. As always, admittance, popcorn and juiceboxes will be provided free. You’re encouraged to bring blankets, camp chairs, pillows, etc. Send us an email if you have a question or would like more information.

Note about the Cross in the Chapel

by John Collins on September 24, 2007

The cross in the chapel has been taken down to facilitate painting the wall behind it. It will be put back up after the wall has been painted. I’m posting this because I don’t want anyone to worry.
