Bob Kinzel Giving Sermon This Week

Sermon: Relay for Life

Scripture: Phil. 3: 12-14

 
Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect; but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. Brethren, I do not consider that I have made it my own; but one thing I do forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

Communion and Children
First Sundays of the Month
As a church we want to involve our children in 'adult' worship, while also allowing the children to have worship and fellowship opportunities that are appropriate for their age. We have tried to balance having the kids observe and participate in worship, while also having their own worship space and time. 
On the first Sunday of each month, we will make arrangements to have the children join the adults in worship for the communion time.  It will be up to each individual family, whether you would like your child to take the cup and the bread or merely observe.  We will have a children's message and then dismiss the children to sit with their families before communion is served.   The nursery aged children will stay in the nursery.   

Relay For Life 2014 begins THIS SATURDAY
May 3rd to Sunday, May 4th
Start time is 9am and the event ends at 9 am the following day. Cancer has affected many of us and our families, which makes eliminating this awful disease a cause close to our hearts.  By participating in this important event, you get to experience a powerful and inspiring weekend to celebrate those who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against this disease. If you want to join our team, you can raise money in any creative way you choose.  For instance, Erica King has made some of her lovely jewelry and will donate a portion of the proceeds to our team (and just in time for Mother's Day)!  Please ask her about it if you want to support her efforts to fight cancer! 
If you haven't signed up for this year's Relay, please register today at http://www.relayforlife.org/burbankca to help us save more lives from cancer and end this disease.  Our team name is First Christian Church of Burbank. Please contact team captain Jennifer Payne with any questions.   

 
Tijuana Home Build May 17
We will build a small home for a family living on the outskirts of Tijuana with Project Mercy.  Everyone is welcome to join in this trip and no special skills are necessary.  Please RSVP with Pastor Steve. 

Here is some brief  information on the family who will be receiving the home:   "Garcia Duarte Family"
Esther Duarte Gonzalez, 37, works in a store, earns $70 per week, Husband Avelado Garcia, 40, works at Samsung $90 per week. Children: Carla 11, Areli 7, Karime 18 (student)

Special Guest Speaker Sunday May 4th Bob Kinzel  
Over the years our church's commitment to Relay for Life has deepened.  Perhaps, this is due in part to the fact that cancer has touched the lives of so many in our congregation.   One of our longtime members who has been wholeheartedly involved with Relay for Life is Bob Kinzel.  Several years ago, Bob was diagnosed with cancer.  Since that time, he has spoken at many Relay for Life events, sharing his story and journey.  We have missed Bob and his wife Carol since they moved to Crestline, CA several years ago.  While we don't see them as often as we used to, they have still been involved in our congregational life and have been wonderful hosts for some mountain top men's retreats.   We are grateful that Bob has agreed to share a message with us during our worship services.   


Walk a Lap With Beth Chiaravalle  @ Relay for Life 
On Sunday we welcomed our new Youth Minister, Beth Chiaravalle.  It is wonderful to have her as part of our staff.   Beth will be participating in Relay for Life and will be there from 9:00AM to Noon.   If you are at Relay for Life during that time, take a moment to seek out Beth at our church's booth and walk a lap or two with her.  It will be a great way for you and her to meet one another.

Meditation & Prayer
Silence is hard to find in our busy modern life. Yet, silence has been an integral quality of spiritual practices throughout history. We are offering two times for you to participate in a time of "spiritual silence" in our beautiful chapel. We hope you avail yourself of these opportunities and find them meaningful.

Saturday 7:30-8:30 AM
A bell will ring to mark the beginning and end of the silent time. If you enter after 7:30AM, you are welcome - just enter quietly if you can.
Sunday 8:15-8:45 AM
We will begin with 15 minutes of silence, then read a passage of scripture on which to meditate. We will close this time with a brief verbal prayer or the ring of a bell.
