GREEN THUMB

Spring is in the air and things have turned green and are growing. Lawn mowers have replaced snow shovels and gardeners and farmers are dusting off their equipment to get ready for the spring planting. In this series, we'll be looking into the New Testament and see that what is true for the garden is also true for our lives. It doesn't take a green thumb to make things grow -- it just takes good soil.

Join us for this 4-part series at both of our campuses as we cover one of the best stories from the master storyteller.

HERE'S WHAT I'M WORKING ON TODAY...

WASTE MANAGEMENT

There’s just about nothing worse than coming to the end of something only to realize that what you were counting on couldn’t deliver what you hoped it would - having spent your time, energy, and resources, seemingly for nothing.

Sometimes it's no big deal - a few dollars here, a couple of hours there. But what do you do when your life begins to feel that way? What do you do when you look at your life and you begin to wonder, 'Am I wasting this?'

Join as we begin a new teaching series called, ‘Waste Management’ beginning on Easter Sunday at both of our campuses.

In Cranberry:

Easter Sunday, April 4 at 8:30, 9:45, and 11:00

April 11, 18 and 25 at 9:30 and 11 a.m.

at The Regional Learning Alliance

'ROOTS' SERIES: PLANTED

We concluded our series called 'Roots' this past Sunday at Discovery Church. We took a month and a half to explain some of our core values at the church. If you are a part of Discovery, and you missed any of the messages, you can listen in here.

Thanks to @CarmanAvenue for all the great design help, and to @nzc3 for the great picture above.

CHURCH ART

I go to church three times on Sundays, and sometimes I lose focus the second or third time around.

Halfway through second church (like second breakfast for Hobbits) I drew this little number on my Droid during the sermon. Even though my finger was drawing, my heart was listening... I promise.

TODAY'S LUNCH

Shopska Salad atop mixed greens with Cottage Cheese (dusted with garlic and onion) on the side. Yes. I'm wearing a Kiss t-shirt.
