7-17-08 Sunrise E Letter

Saturday is the big day! 

We'll be at the Marion House Soup Kitchen providing a BBQ for the needy of Colorado Springs.  Over 200 people from church have signed up to help!  If you didn't have a chance to sign-up, just show up!  We'll put you to work.  If you can't be there, you can at least pray!  Folks have generously covered the costs of the meal as well. So thanks to all of you who are making this kick-off to our 40 Days of Mission such a grand event!  Let me say a special thank you to Gary and Karen Wiensch.  They came up with the idea and have been the driving force behind it!  It wouldn't have happened without them.

Camp Meetings Going Strong!
We are well into our camp meetings-casual worship and great music! Last weekend I started a three-part series on the Basics of Grace.  God is always active in our lives but God acts in different ways depending on where we are in our faith journey.  Knowing how God works helps us notice that divine action. 

If you missed last week, you can get the message at our church website (www.sunriseumc.com) or pick up a CD at the church "store" in the Atrium at Briargate.

This week, we'll talk about "Doubt and Assurance."  Is it OK to doubt?  Do you have to doubt?  How does that impact your faith?  How does God work in the midst of that? We'll cover some good questions!

See you this weekend in worship!  You won't want to miss it!

Grace and peace,
Marv Vose
