I'm surprised I never blogged about this before.  How did we come up with this whole "scruffy" thing?  Well, it's actually kind of an interesting story.  It all started out as something that we took initially as a minor insult. 

It's been a great fall and winter for Scruffy.  We have seen an influx of new people and most Sundays, we're full up during our 10am service.  God has really been moving and drawing people.  It's been very exciting.  With all this great news we're going to start offering a second Sunday morning service.  So beginning EASTER SUNDAY, Urban will change from a 10am service to having 2 services at 9am and 11am.  

Starting April 11th and running until July 4th, Urban will be having our own Biggest Loser challenge.  

Here’s a simple observation.  You don’t even really need to wrong someone for them to be angry with you.  And once the anger starts, watch out! 

Hey everybody!

I. The Present

Maybe this should be a continuation of the "What is a Christian?" blog entry from a while back.  Maybe this is the beginning of a "what is" series of blogs.  Who knows…but I feel compelled to speak about the pastor's wife as of late.  To those of you in my immediate circle of friends and family, please don't feel that this blog is directed at any of you as individuals.  I'm actually jotting down thoughts on this subject that I've had germinating in my brain for years.  So don't hate me and please don't email me accusing me of singling you out

Had to post of pic of my family!  Now if only my wife would approve a bike for me....someday.    Er...Joker, does your Schwinn count as a bike?  LOL    Don't Frank and Mary look cute?  Can't wait to eventually get myself into this pic. 

Hi Everyone -

One of the things that we didn't touch on today at Urban is ARK projects this winter. 

Several of you have already helped out with a very random ARK project, helping someone repair/restore a roof and ceiling in their mobile home, and now it's time to swing into high gear this winter to show God's love in practical ways!
