Dear Family,

• Happy Mother's Day!
• Quote of the Day—“Because we inhabit a kind of Christianity that is keenly aware of the depths of human sin, we don't assume for a moment that we're better, in any way, than our friends who don't share our beliefs or lifestyle.  And because God's Word has trained us to expect to see the fingerprints of God's grace in everyone's lives, we can expect to meet lots of non-Christian people who are wise, generous, kind, self-sacrificial, creative.  They're fashioned in the image of God, too! We are not Christians because of our goodness, or even our capacity for arriving at correct beliefs. We are Christians because we're a mess, and God is gracious.”
• Have to respond to the cultural assault on the Christian view of marriage.  Here are some ideas.
• Watch Tim Keller speak on marriage on YouTube
• Camp changes kids lives.  Is your child signed up in camp this summer?
• Moms – guilt your children into coming to church with you on Mother's Day (just kidding – I think!).  Worship will be grand, there is a poignant video, there's cappuccino and cookies after the services in the Florida Room, and yours truly will be preaching on Crazy Love.  Can't wait to celebrate with you.
