All of us deal with fear.  For some of us it’s an “irrational” fear of spiders  (which seems pretty rational when one of those evil creatures shows up in your work van…just saying :-)  For others, it’s the much more reality based fear that hits us when we get that notice at work that our position is being eliminated, or that call from the doctors office after a check-up that leaves no other information than to “Please, call back as soon as possible”.  Fear is a part of our lives…

In many ways, fear is good…a warning system when we are in danger.  A trigger for our bodies amazing “fight or flight” reaction. (I’m pretty sure Pixar’s INSIDE OUT does a better job of explaining the sympathetic nervous system than any biology book I’ve read) However, fear and anxiety can also keep us from living a full life.  Being filled with fear can rob us of opportunities, of experiences, we can even miss out on relationships because our fear keeps us from making that call, asking her out, saying we’re sorry…even saying hello!   This Sunday we’re going to share some GREAT ADVICE from scripture about how to FEEL FEAR-without being FULL OF FEAR!   We’re gonna discuss one of the most epic characters in history…and the thing that he said “freed him from all his fear”.   If you EVER struggle with fear and anxiety…and all the loss that comes with it…you won’t want to miss this week!

This week will also feature the return of Meg and the Right Sound, along with all the “normal” food and fun that makes actionchurch ANYTHING but a normal Sunday morning at church! We’ve even freed up more parking…so go ahead and invite ALL your friends and family that have been curious about actionchurch. We look forward to seeing you at– 10:30 am, 36 W 11th Avenue. (DIRECTIONS), and as usual, the actionkidz crew has a fantastic hour of learning and fun planned for your kids (infant to 6th grade) as well.
