This Weekend at Timberlake [March 6 & 7] from timberlakechurch on Vimeo.

If you attend Timberlake I want to tell you about a big event coming up, it is our 411 event on March 6th at 6:45 p.m. following our Saturday Night service. A 411 event is when we take some time for information, inspiration, celebration. It is also when I answer questions in a way that we would not normally do so at a weekend service. Anyone is welcome to attend and childcare and food are provided.
In this meeting we are talking about changes at Timberlake. There are some changes Timberlake that you have been able to see: More people at church, the starting of the preschool and a lot of people taking their next right step, such as Baptism. (By the way we have another one this weekend Feb 27/28. ) Yet, there are some more exciting changes on the way that I would love to share with you. I will spend some time talking about what is going to change and what is staying the same as we move forward as a church and what that means to you. I hope you will put this on your calendar and join me then.
Something amazing has unfolded in the last couple months. A church in Seattle has decided to close independent operations and will become part of Timberlake. We are not sure the exact form this new campus will take place, but it will represent the vision and mission of Timberlake, while adjusting to the context of the church. In future posts I will be answering some of your questions and lay out the vision for expanding the work that God has given us at this new church campus.
One of the things I love about being the pastor at Timberlake is that this is a church committed to not only hearing God’s Word, but putting our faith into action. (James 1:22) In the wake of the Haiti earthquake, the response has been amazing of those of you who want to make a tangible difference in people’s lives.
This weekend we will have information available as to our response as a church. It will involve praying, sending financial resources to credible ministry partners and sending a team to Haiti to help. If you are interesting in being part of a team let me know.
Great weekend at Timberlake! I continue to be in awe in what God is doing.
1. Amy did a great job leading in worship with the team, thanks for using your amazing gifts, I know Jillian appreciated the break.
2. Tons of people signed up for next steps – Membership class in a week and a half should be the largest ever at Timberlake!
3. Thank you to all of you who signed up to Host Small groups, this next season should be a good one.
4. Lots of new people serving in ministry, thanks for jumping in to serve.
5. Terri (my wife) and I feel blessed to be here at Timberlake and serve Christ with you.
6. I am looking forward to this next week and what the work God continues to do in us and through us.
This was another great weekend at Timberlake. I am very thankful for what God is doing.
1. Reset – I think this new series is going to be a good one
2. Collin did an awesome job with the special
3. Burt has done great work editing compelling video testimonies, this weekend was no exception
4. It was great seeing a bunch of folks come back from Christmas eve
5. I did not get in trouble from my wife for telling about the “discussion” we had
6. A lot of people made next step commitments in regards to the church and their faith
7. Met with my board, I can not believe we are already moving towards our second campus, but I am excited that we are taking this step of faith
I am excited to see what God is going to do in this next year and am thankful as I reflect on 2009 and what God has been up to in me, my family and Timberlake Church.
In 2009
- I had more opportunity to teach and develop leaders and to be able to see the fruit of some of that work.
- We had the opportunity as a family to grow closer together to each other and Christ through the illness of my youngest daughter. Not something we wanted, but a blessing in the end.
- As a Church we have continued to grow broader in reach and deeper in Christ. It is amazing hearing story after story of life change.
I am looking forward to what God has in 2010

I don’t want to be un grateful, but as my sister asked me what I wanted for Christmas, I could not think of much. Now want I don’t want for Christmas, that list is pretty long, here are some things that came to mind:
