DART TOURNAMENT AND FAMILY FUN NIGHT

Yesterday at the Church was really a fun day! It started with the Dart Tournament that was sponsored by our Mens Ministry, and followed by a Family Fun Night wherein church members just got together to relax and have fun playing various board games, darts, and even golf putting! For fund raising, the Mens Ministry sold "Gourmet Hotdogs!" Well, they claimed it was Gourmet...but it did taste pretty good!

The winner of our Dart Tournament this year was the team of Joey Lopez and Jimmy Aviles! Congrats!

CORONA CIVIC CENTER AUDITORIUM

Pictured above is the inside of the newly renovated Corona Civic Center Auditorium - our venue for Illumination 2009. Today we had a team of several men from our mens ministry scout the auditorium for logistical purposes (positioning of praise band, welcome table, posting of ushers, inspection of lighting/sound, etc.).

As March 21 gets closer the whole church is gearing up with excitement for this major event! Hope to see you there!

VALENTINES COUPLES FELLOWSHIP

This years Valentines Celebration was a great follow-up to our Couples Retreat about three and a half months ago! (Click Here for that blog) Everyone had such a fun time! The games were creative, the food was delicious, and the husbands singing to their spouses was entertaining! It was all followed by a time of dancing. This was a great time to strengthen the "spark" in our marriages. I also gave a little devotion based on Ephesians 5:21 to reinforce that spark even more.

During the Couples Retreat last year, we had a restating of our marriage vows. But during this years Valentines fellowship, every couple was given their own little mini wedding cake (thanks Crista) and we all did a fun re-enactment of "The Cutting of the Cake!" Really Nice!

My heartfelt thanks to the Women's and Men's Ministry for a very successful and memorable Valentines Fellowship!

JESUS CALMS THE STORM

Think about it....

If Jesus has complete authority over nature, if He can rebuke the violent wind and calm the raging storms with just a word, then don't you think He can calm the storms in your heart and in your life?

Just put your total trust and faith in Him....and you will experience His mighty power at work in your life.

(Matthew 8:23-27)
