You’re Welcome

By Nic Dunbar, Worship Minister | February 3, 2012

“Welcome boys and girls, men and women of all ages!”

If you have ever attended a traveling circus you have probably heard this proclamation. These words are certainly apropos for the ringmaster as he beckons all who want to partake of the wonder and magic inside the Big Tent. As you hearken to the ringmaster’s call total strangers greet you with warm smiles and bright eyes with eager anticipation for your arrival. Everyone in the traveling show is excited for their opportunity to share with you and happy for you to walk away carrying a bit of their zestful exuberance as you go on your way. And you are happy to oblige them because this whole experience started with this one word – Welcome!

The Cosmic Gift Exchange

By Nic Dunbar, Worship Minister | December 16, 2011

Oh, the Holidays are upon us again and with the Christmas season in full swing there will be much partying and eating and drinking and fellowshipping. Last night I hit my 4th part of the season and Christmas is still a whole week away. I enjoy all the get-togethers and hanging with friends and loved ones but for many, the whole reason this Holiday season is worthwhile is because of the GIFT ~~RECEIVING~~ GIVING!

AND THEY ARE RIGHT!

Learning to Lean On Jesus

By Nic Dunbar, Worship Minister | October 28, 2011

I CAN’T DO THIS BY MYSELF!!!

Have you ever found yourself saying (SCREAMING) these words? Statements like this are not said with a smile on your face or a heart full of cheer. These words come from brokenness, hurt, fear and anxiety. These are the words often uttered when we are at our wits end. These are the words spoken when nothing is going right and everything is going wrong. This is the cry of our hearts when we are on the verge of giving up.

What Remains

By Nic Dunbar, Worship Minister | September 6, 2011

I PLAN TO LIVE FOREVER

But you know what they say about the best-laid plans.

I recently lost my grandfather. It has been one of the greatest tragedies of my life. Mr. Harry L Williams departed this life on Sunday August 14, 2011. While it may be considered normal to continue grieving his passing, I am feeling something completely different. I am celebrating and remembering a man who risked everything when he loved. I am well aware that I will never feel his overgrown beard again or have the pleasure to smell his “aroma” after hunting rabbit, possum and squirrel. But I have come to terms with his passing from this life because there is something that remains.

Soles 4 Souls – Sunday, June 12th

By Nic Dunbar, Worship Minister | June 6, 2011

The Grove (5th & 6th Grade Ministry) invites you to join us on June 12, 2011 for “Barefoot Sunday”. During this event we will be collecting shoes for Soles 4 Souls, an organization that distributes shoes to those in need throughout the world. Please come to worship that day in a pair of new or lightly worn shoes. During the worship service, you will be invited to take off your shoes and present them as a gift to someone in need. Also consider contributing $1 per pair donated to help cover shipping costs of the shoes.
