Reading List...

Forgotten God by  Francis Chan

 Pastor Francis Chan discusses how the Holy Spirit is neglected in today's church.  He thoughtfully explains the Holy Spirit through scripture and gives scriptural examples of it .  He presents this topic in a warm and caring manner which engages the reader.

Each chapter explores various questions about the Holy Spirit with titles such as:  "I've Got Jesus, Why do I need the Spirit?", "Theology of the Holy spirit 101", "A real relationship" and "The Supernatural Church".  He gives biblical references to make his point in a practical manner that's easily understood.  He offers several biographies of Christians that he has encountered whose life exemplifies their personal relationship with the Holy Spirit.  These people have let the Holy Spirit guide and direct their paths.

After reading this book, the reader will want to take the steps to a personal relationship with the Holy Spirit and will bring this "forgotten God" back to the forefront.

Enjoying Summer's Harvest

The summer provides us with many fruits to keep us fueled up and refreshed.  One perfect way to enjoy the fruits of the summer is a smoothie.  They are easy and quick to make.  They also provide us with an abundance of vitamins!  Fruits and vegetables are best when eaten raw.  Cooking often breaks down or even destroys some of the nutrients found in fruits and vegetables.  Here is a simple and easy recipe for a smoothie.  You can have fun with it by adding different fruits and even a vegetable or two.




Ingredients: (2 servings)
4-5 strawberries
1 small banana
1 6oz. serving of vanilla yogurt (flavored yogurt is also good)
1/4 cup orange juice
2 tsp splenda (or sugar or any other sugar substitute)
6 cubes of ice

***optional***  may add 6 baby carrots or 3 broccoli florettes for additional nutritional value

Combine all of the ingredients in a blender and blend on high for 1 min or until completely mixed.  Pour into your favorite glass and ENJOY!!!
