Weekly news letter from Woodinville Community Church

Sharing the transforming love of Jesus, across the street and around the world.
"Fatherhood: Be Prepared"
A SPECIAL MESSAGE ON FATHER'S DAY
Scott Eklund gave a very personal and inspirational message on his own
journey through the trials and joys of fatherhood and shared how God
instructs fathers through these key passages from Scripture:
Be Honest (with yourself)
Romans 12:3
“For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of
yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with
sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to
each of you.”
Be Generous
Proverbs 11:24
“One person gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds
unduly, but comes to poverty.”
Be In the Moment
Colossians 4:2
“Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.”

2. Be Patient
Proverbs 14:29
“Whoever is patient has great understanding, but one who is quick-
tempered displays folly.”
Be Gentle
Proverbs 15:1
“A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.”
Summer Worship & Pastor Rick's Sabbatical
Pastor Rick is currently on a long-awaited sabbatical leave from mid-
June until mid-August.
-------------------------------------------
While he is gone, our sermon series will focus on the Parables of Jesus. A
variety of staff and lay speakers will be sharing the messages that God
has placed on their hearts.
-------------------------------------------
Other pastoral duties will be covered by qualified staff members on a
rotating basis.
