We are continuing our Surge 2016 @ the Movies message series... and it's going to be great. Sadly, today we're doing Inside Out. See what I did there with the sadness? Remember, we're not the band, the whole room is the band, so turn it up to 11!

Our special music today is Everybody Hurts by REM
God doesn't need your money, turns out that He is loaded with cash already. But He blesses folks with a generous heart. 

Small groups are going well, and you're invited! Check the website or talk to Emily about the best way to get connected!

The Marine Band is doing The Planets at NOVA today at 2pm, it's going to be amazing – and our very own Karen Reiss will be playing the harp.
Next week we will be talking about Selma and Dwaine is very excited about this message, it's going to be a good one.
​
Thanks and we will see you soon!

We are continuing our second installment of a SOTM (Sermon the Mount) message series... SOTM Revisited and it's going to be great. Remember, we're not the band, the whole room is the band, so turn it up to 11!

Mid-Service: Connection Cards, KidQuest, snacks, special music is Heart Like Mine by Miranda Lambert.

God doesn't need your money, turns out that He is loaded with cash already. But He blesses folks with a generous heart. 

It's Imperialistic Land Acquisition Sports Day! Watch as your favorite teams try to take land away from the other teams in a fit of Manifest Destiny!

In all seriousness though, we like to pick the winner of a sporting event based on mascot.  Today, that is the Carolina Giant Hungry Cats vs. the Denver Shetland Ponies. So in the wild, which one would really win?  In this case, the panthers would wait for the broncos to come out of the tunnel... they would pick off one of the weaker, older ones - and eat him.  So I'm going with the panthers!

Today we have Superbowl Parties happening! At E's house and Joni's place... starting at 5:30.  Bring your favorite super bowl snack and drinks and we'll see you there!

Also, we will be running our movie series in Feb as a run-up to the Oscars. Avengers, Selma and Inside Out will be watched and commented on by our team of trained movie goers.

Thanks and stay warm!

Two other things related to giving... we have a new online portal, check out the Wave or the website, it's easier and better so there you go. Also, a copy of last year's budget vs. actual is by the offering boxes for anyone interested.

Save the date, Feb 7th will be the Superbowl, along with Superbowl parties and some new info on small groups!

Also, we will be running our movie series in Feb as a run-up to the Oscars. Avengers, Selma and Inside Out will be watched and commented on by our team of trained movie goers.
