Matthew 6:9-18
 This week we embark on a journey of Drawing Near to God by exploring some Spiritual Disciplines. All of the classic spiritual disciplines can be found in some form in scripture. Several years ago I had a bit of a 'bad attitude' toward these spiritual practices. Then I signed up for a two year experience called Deeper Journey . Through the discipline of engaging in the spiritual disciplines, I began to learn more about the importance and beauty of seeking God in these intentional ways. I have come to understand them as different languages that enhance our communication and relationship with God. And just like any language, some communicate better than others - some are easier for us, even more effective for us in engaging our relationship with God. I tend to gravitate towards meditation on Scripture as a primary relationship language. You may gravitate towards another. Looking forward to the journey. This week, Eileen Christofferson is going to focus on the discipline/practice of prayer and fasting in her sermon titled, "Communication: You have to Talk Sometimes," which is drawn from Matthew 6:9-18.discipline Through the Deeper Journey. ritual disciplines can be found in some form in Scripture. Several years ago I had a bit of a 'bad attitude' towards these spiritual practices. Then I signed up for a two year experience called See you soon!
It is in Him that we live, move, and have our being,

Dinner for 8 -- Improved
We're making a change to this program! We had an experimental group of 4 families with children who met last session and we're going to continue to offer this choice. You'll be able to choose either meeting with Adults Only, Whole Families, or Either of the Above. Groups of ~8 adults OR ~3 Whole Families meet for dinner once-a-month for 4 months. Hosting of the dinner rotates among the group, and everyone brings food. Our purpose is to build deeper relationships. It’s also an opportunity to invite 1-2 friends you may have been wanting to invite to Crestview, and here's a chance to introduce them to others from your church in a fun setting. Sign-ups begin April 3 and end April 24. Groups meet May - August 2016. Find the sign-up sheet at the hutch in the Fellowship Hall or you can contact Muffie VanAndel (303) 444-7036 or
