TO SAVE A LIFE Movie

The movie grossed 1.5 million dollars this opening weekend (and it was shown only in 441 theaters--so you do the math). The theater in Moline had more ticket sales than the theater in Chicago!! The Moline theater has agreed to extend the showings through this upcoming weekend--So you can invite your friends out to see the movie--especially if they haven't seen it yet.

IMPACT 2010

IMPACT Update #3

We had a good weekend and a great speaker who challenged us to live for God and swim against the stream of our culture (Live the Backward Life).

We served at a local Women and Children's shelter. We sorted through donated items and tried to tidy up a bit. We also stuffed ourselves at Spaghetti Works.
And the girls went wild over the Jeremy Sanoski Band.

IMPACT Update #2

This is the morning session of Day 2 of IMPACT. We had some awesome challenges put before us from Romans 12:1-2. The basic topic was purity. Offering ourselves and our bodies as living sacrifices in order to glorify God. The discussion questions were very relevant and thought-provoking. We had bagged lunches full of ham & swiss sandwiches, chips, & cookies. Next up--we go to a couple Break Out sessions of varying topics. This afternoon, we will do our service project and we are all looking forward to dinner this evening at Spaghetti Works! I plan on posting some video this evening of our day...stay tuned.

IMPACT Update #1

We made it to IMPACT a bit late. Sherry's new Tom Tom tried to take us to Minnesota--but we made it to our correct destination. We entered the fist session just as the Jeremy Sanoski Band was wrapping up the opening worship songs. Our speaker, Jarrod Jones, spoke from the passage Romans 8:14-16. We are adopted as God's children and we can have an initmate relationship with Him--one so close that we can refer to Him as "Abba, Daddy". We can be released from our chains of sin. We then got in our small groups to discuss our questions...and then we hung out talking and playing cards....Tomorrow is a full day...stay tuned!
