New Mexico Trip Blog

That's right... another blog. We have this blog ready to go so we can keep the church and all our supporters updated on how our trip to Tijuana, Mexico is going. We'll try and put up some pictures and specific ways you can pray for us. Check it out.

What'd you do with your buck?


Last Sunday we finished up our series "Why do we do that?" One of the things we looked at was loving others. To try and give you a practical and fun way to love others you received a buck and list of 25 ways that you could use that dollar to show love to somebody. Well... how did it go? What way did you use it? What was the result? I'd love to hear what happened as a result.

Check out our new ride

Salem Chapel is now the proud owner of a 12 passenger van. This is going to be our ride for retreats, events, and anytime we need to get somewhere. Pretty sweet, huh?

Why do we do that?

We are in a series right now called "Why do we do that." We are spending five weeks looking at the things that we do as a church and why we do them. This past week we looked at preaching and did it in a little different of a way. I asked five questions and you all had to look through the Bible and try to find the answers. Some of you wanted to work a little more on them so we can hear a report on what you found next time we meet. Here are the five questions:
  1. Why is preaching so important?
  2. Why preach from God's Word?
  3. What comes from hearing God's Word preached?
  4. What is my role when I hear preaching?
  5. Why do we say at Salem Chapel boldly proclaiming "without apology"?
I'm excited to hear next time we meet what you guys were able to find. Remember to do something special for your mom this sunday. We are not having Thrive on Mother's Day.
