Tomorrow at Church Simplified: ROCKSTEDDY

Erratum: Our heartfelt apologies to Rocksteddy, apparently we've been spelling their band name incorrectly. Sorry guys! We'll miss you this week. 

CS is going MAD!

God, you seem like a real nice guy.

Tell you what... I have no problems believing in You, but let me define the TERMS of this relationship:

1. Make her say YES!
2. Give me a kajillion pesos
3. A Diablo Red Ferrari wouldn't hurt either
4. And, if you've got time to spare, toss in the solution to world hunger

WHAT ARE YOUR TERMS?

Tomorrow at Church Simplified: KATE TORRALBA

What once was hurt
What once was friction
What left a mark
No longer stings...
Because Grace makes beauty
Out of ugly things

- U2, from the song "Grace"

We can bust out the espresso machine and sit for days around a table, pick at it, scrutinize it, duke it out with each other... And we would have barely scratched the surface of the concept behind the most wonderful, scandalous word known as grace.

This week we wrap up the series, but know that we are far from having exhausted it. I figured we can stop and digest for a while and pick it up again at some point.

Our special guest artist is
popular fashion designer
and budding musician,
KATE TORRALBA.








See you on Wednesday and it ain't too late to bring a friend :)

Tomorrow at Church Simplified: URBAN HOPE

"Grace, she's got the walk
Not on a ramp or on chalk

She travels outside of karma
When she goes to work
You can hear her strings
Grace finds beauty in everything"

- U2

Tomorrow at Church Simplified: GRACE

This Wednesday on Church Simplified: Week 3 of Can You Hear Me Now?

You beg. You whimper. You load God down with empty praise.
You tell him sins he already knows full well.
You seek to change his changeless will...
And sometimes, by God's grace, a prayer is heard.

- Frederick Buechner

This week at CS, we tackle the need for persistence in prayer.

This Wednesday on Church Simplified: Week 2 of Can You Hear Me Now?

The prayer preceding for all prayers is:

"May it be the real I who speaks
and may it be the real You, that I speak to"
- C.S. Lewis

...Notice that our topic says “plowing through the mysteries”, and not unraveling them. Just thought I'd point that out :)


This week's special guest artist is
IMAGO. Spread the word!

This Wednesday at Top Shelf: Can You Hear Me Now?

I've been thinking about it a lot lately: Why is it that God seems to be able to heal every headache, however, when it comes to more medically diagnosed diseases--like, say, cancer or AIDS--his batting average seems to be a little off...

What gives? Is God merely the headache specialist? How does prayer really work? What can we ultimately count on God for?

In the next couple of weeks we embark on the journey to discover prayer, not from the experts' point of view, but from one who genuinely seeks answers.

Join us if you're free.

...Now, we can't guarantee answers, but Krispy Kreme will be there to ease our pain :)

Tomorrow at Church Simplified: SINOSIKAT

And the waitress is practicing politics

As the businessmen slowly get stoned
Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
But its better than drinkin' alone

- Piano Man by Billy Joel

This Wednesday at Church Simplified

This week we find ourselves in a valley between topics to ask a profound question that--if used as a filter for life--will radically change the way you react to circumstances.

We were going to post the question... But where's the fun in that? :)

Come to church on Wednesday! See you there.

Tomorrow at Fully Booked: ECHO & JULIANNE

Tomorrow night is ECHO's wrap up show!

And what better way to wrap the series up, than by having phenomenal artist Julianne serenade us at Church Simplified.

Please come early, and bring your friends! Coffee and Krispy Kremes on us.

Date:	Wednesday, May 21, 2008
Time:	8:00pm - 9:00pm

Tomorrow at Church Simplified: ECHO, week 3

Great speeches that inspire us toward greatness are sometimes nothing more than exactly that... A great speech. I, however, need to go back to my everyday real world with bills to pay, schedules to keep, errands to run.

So good job with the inspiring talks, but that's just not how it works in the real world.

Tomorrow at Church we continue with ECHO: Living the Original Life... even in the real world.

And, if you're still unsatisfied you can atleast drown your dissatisfaction with KRISPY KREME! :)
