Great message yesterday ... Embrace diversity - One body in Christ !

The challenge resonates ... Not only are we supposed to listen and agree, we are also supposed to live that way. That's when it becomes tough - we are all shaped and influenced by our peers & environment & eductation & upbringing and ... and ... and ... Its often tough to see beyond our own 'little world' and explore & embrace what's out there - it can be downright scary. Yet we are called to do just that !

This is Mark and I's niece, we ask for your prayers and support as we travel this difficult road. The one thing we are grateful is that we know and serve a mighty God who shares in our joys and burdens of this world.

Hello all;

Some of you may know Latoya has spent the last couple weeks in the hospital on bed rest.

There has been fluctuations in her blood pressure and kidney output.

I have several ways for you to plug into the Women of Grace Fundraiser on Sat. June 21. Even if you cannot make it you can always donate a salad, dessert, hot dogs, buns, lemonade or soda.

I also am in need of people to man the carnival stations and do crazy hair spray and face painting.

If you have a special skill you would like to try out contact me! Kelly 612-781-2174

It is so nice to be able to help people when they need it the most. That's a large part of what following Jesus is all about.  Paul Wampler's mother is in need.  John Simshauser (Paul's brother-in-law), who works for the production company that has provided us with sound equipment in the past, sent this to us...

On Thursday, June 19th, 7pm at Brooklyn Park Lutheran Church

From the beginning, Jacob's Well has held up the Bible as an important component to growing up spiritually and we deal with it pretty extensively every week in our gatherings. We have also admitted that reading the Bible is not the easiest thing in the world. Mainly because... it isn't. "Wrestling" is the word I often couple with the Bible. You don't just read it, you get down and dirty with it. You become vulnerable to it. You push against it and let it push against you.

Hi All, As my previous post told you I am holding a benefit for the recovery home Women of Grace. God is pulling together so many people to participate and I am needing a few hands for helping the day of.

I encourage us to wear our Jacobs well T-Shirts to get the word out.

Here are the lyrics from a song some friends of mine wrote, it is powerful and brilliant and on Itunes if you want to hear it.
