Dear actionchurch,
Thank you so much for the housewarming / wedding gifts. It really means a lot to Rachel & I to have a community that loves and cares about us. I have had so much fun making actionchurch not look like Don put everything together using Microsoft Paint. And Rachel is looking forward to taking care of your kidos in actionkidz. We look forward to serving along side you and getting to know you better in the next year!
Love Rachel & Josiah

This week @ actionchurch we’ll be concluding the “With all My Heart Series” by asking some very difficult questions. Since Jesus said the most important things that we could do was love God and Love people, why do we need Church? So many people have been hurt by “church”…should we just scrap the whole thing and just try to love God and love people on our own?
Full disclosure here: Even though we often call actionchurch a “church for people who don’t like church”…we like church just fine and want it to continue 
If we didn’t, our crowd and crew would obviously NOT work so hard and sacrifice so much to make sure “it” happens each week at Club 19. The reasons WHY we think church is still important in 2010 just might surprise you…
This Sunday our good friends Thru-me will be back on stage. Show up for some rock-n-roll, coffee, a donut or seven, and some hard hitting questions that you probably thought you’d never hear in church…

Have you ever heard someone say “Don’t sweat the small stuff”? It sounds like good advice. Don’t get upset over the “little” annoyances and troubles of life. Don’t “major on the minors”. Concentrate on the “big” things.
Here’s the problem; It’s easy to be confused about what the “big stuff” is, and what the “small stuff” isn’t. It’s easy to become religious and think that the “big stuff” of Christianity is church attendance, Bible study, personal growth, etc. and think that not loving your neighbor as yourself is a relatively unimportant oversight. In fact, sometimes the “busier” we become being “Christians”, the easier it is to ignore and neglect others…
Loving God and Loving people is the “Big stuff”. In fact, Jesus said it’s the BIGGEST stuff…the single most important thing that you can do in life. EVERYTHING ELSE is the “small stuff”. …not sure why that is so hard for us (me especially) to remember.
