Preview Service/Poker Tourney/All around Good Times!

This is so one of those weeks that simply wouldn't be possible without the strength and goodness of God!

Anthem's first preview service is this Sunday (the 16th). Our whole world has been pointed towards getting things ready for this all week. It's been great, so much fun to see people getting excited along with us. In the midst of all of our prep for that we are also getting ready for our fundraiser poker tournament that's happening on Saturday (the 15th). Again, amazing stuff is happening there. Local businesses and friends are coming through with amazing donations for both prizes and catering!

In the middle of all that action, Andrew and I both got racked with a wicked 24 hour flu on Wednesday/Thursday. It wailed on us for a very short period of time and has since left us a little on the wiped out side.

If only I were on a boat (I never thought I'd be on a boat) I might be able to get shipwrecked like Paul... Maybe next week.

Join us at the preview service this Sunday at 10 am at CLU (California Lutheran University). Check out www.jointheanthem.com for more info and a map!

Reproducing the mission of Jesus Christ

Thanks for stopping by. The goal of this page, and anything I'm involved in really, is to create the motive and opportunity for people to pursue the Jesus mission with everything they have inside of them. Beyond head knowledge of Jesus, we need to be people who are consistently helping people find their way back to God and apprenticing others to do the same. So... make it hap'n cap'n.
