I Need Your Help!


I need your help. We have been in our sermon series called "Simply Jesus". In this series we have been exploring the Gospel of Luke trying to see a clear picture of Jesus. To help with this effort we are launching the "Simply Jesus: Photo Essay Event." What I want is for you to take your camera and capture images that you believe reveal Jesus. The photograph can be of a person(s), an event, a situation, landscape, abstract, etc... Whatever you see that simply communicates something about the person of Jesus: his nature, characteristics, humanity, deity, mission or heart.
I will use the photographs in an upcoming sermon.
Here are the details....
  • The images must be submitted digitally
  • Files should be no larger than 2MB
  • Each image should be an original photograph taken by you (no copyrighted work can be accepted)
  • Photoshopping your image is great
  • Each image should be titled and accompanied by a caption (50 words or less)
  • Email the image to simplyjesus@westernhillsonline.org
  • Attach only 1 image per email
  • Submit as many times as you like
  • Submission Deadline is Monday, April 14

I'm looking forward to seeing Jesus through your eyes!

God Bless,

Scott

Lifting Our Teens in Prayer

Sunday, February 24, over 200 people came forward to get a prayer wristband committing to pray for a student who would be attending the Exile 2008 retreat.

How wonderful and sacred is the collective experience lifting up a common prayer. What a blessing for our teens to know the Western Hills family jumps at the opportunity to actively support their developing faith.

Today I want to thank God who renewed many relationships during the Exile weekend. I want to thank God who spoke to our teens. I want to thank God for blessing our teens with a church family like Western Hills. I want to thank God who promises his active presence in our collective prayer.
