It's been a productive week for me - how about you? I guess when you are getting ready to head out of town for a couple weeks, you really get STUFF done - or at least attempt to!? I already prepared the Message for Week #1 (June 01) in our next series - Plastic Jesus. Next week, I will be getting Wk2/June 08 ready! CrAzY!!!

The boys and Momma are really getting ready for everything! This week is a BIG WEEK for us at the COC - I'll share in a minute in the Sunday Snapshot - but what makes it EXTRA BIG is that it's MOTHER'S DAY!

Aren't MAMMA'S Great? What would we do without them? I want to personally take this moment to say a HUGE THANK YOU to my Mom (Susie), my Mom-In-Law (Wanda), and my favorite MOM OF ALL (My Wife-Ginger) for ALL YOU DO and being GREAT EXAMPLE OF JESUS to Myself and to my Children!

This week we are moving GIVE up a week and talking about the concept of GIVING and how it pertains to our VISION! In simple terms it would be HOW one GIVES in their TIME / TALENTS / TREASURES.

SUNDAY SNAPSHOT...

We start up our CORE VISION Series this month! Very excited as we also will be CELEBRATING our 2nd Anniversary as a Church!

May 11th is a Sunday you DO NOT want to miss! We will be having Special Guests with us as seen on ESPN and Oprah! It is a day that YOU CAN'T MISS!

May 18th is actually our ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION SUNDAY! A day filled of Hope, Future, & Vision! Unfortunately, with the birth of our Baby Girl, we will not be there to Celebrate, but will be in Prayers and Heart! That afternoon, we will be having a HUGE BLAST with a Picnic in the Park at COBBLESTONE! Dogs, Burgers, Desserts, Bouncers, Music - a day to remember!

Our VISION is simple in Maricopa -

We want to MAKE HIS NAME MORE FAMOUS!

We do this through a simple FOUR STEP - CORE CONCEPT:
GATHER . GROW . GIVE . GO

Each week in this Series - we will be talking specifically about each Concept, and how it plays a part in accomplishing our VISION!

This week, our GATHER Pastor (Brian Klimke) will be introducing our VISION Series this week with the importance of GATHERING! His talk will be specific to becoming a "BETTER IS ONE DAY" WORSHIPPER!

Always remember...
The Church that discovers that God wants Worshippers before Workers, will realize that INTIMACY with Him ALWAYS precedes ACTIVITY with Him!”
