THE MARRIAGE PUZZLE   .    October Series

Marriage is a hot topic today. But what is it, really? How does it work? Is it worth keeping in our cultural family’s future? A poignant conundrum states, “There are things we know that we know; there are things that we know we don’t know; but there are also things we don’t know we don’t know.” Those unknown unknowns are where Jesus invites us to meet him in the marriage puzzle, helping us see that with marriage perhaps we don’t know what we don’t know. The Bible calls marriage “a profound mystery.” Jesus describes it as a gift of God full of creative meaning and transcendent possibility waiting to be engaged.  In our new series, The Marriage Puzzle, we’re not trying to make your marriage better, though that may happen. We’re not trying to help heal hurts from your past, though God can. And we’re not trying to get you married if you’re single, though God has been known to surprise us. What we are pursuing is inspired insight from Jesus on God’s beautiful picture of marriage that so often puzzles us.

Passover celebration in December

Saturday, December 3rd, 2011

Last night our team got together at the Word of Life Institute in Atibaia, Sao Paulo for a night of fellowship, communion and fun. The same Married Couples small group that spent a week ministering in the favelas with us invited our team to a traditional Jewish Passover celebration. It was a learning time for all as the traditions and customs of a proper Passover celebration were explained in detail step-by-step. Leading the ceremony was a local missionary, Steve, who was born in Brazil to American parents but spent much time in Israel learning the customs and traditions of various different sects of the jewish religion. It made for a very interesting evening and the food was awesome!!
We are most thankful that, through the initial contact with this group working with us in the favelas, we have made strong, wonderful friendships with some very precious couples. We look forward to continuing these relationships and hopefully involving them more in the ministry work as time passes.
Blessings,
Pete & Jodi
