Propel This Wednesday 7PM
January 30, 2012
This week we will continue our series titled “Not That Into You”. This week’s discussion is:
When you’re not that into a relationship, you have a choice—to stay or to go. God has made it very clear in the Bible that He’s not going anywhere. He’s in. But we’re the ones who struggle with the choice, and that struggle sometimes involves fighting our own feelings and perceptions. It’s a fight that we have to be willing to take on, and a decision each of us has to make. And though it may feel like it, it’s not one-sided, God isn’t going anywhere. So are you going to fight your own tendencies to pull away? Are you going to fight for your relationship with God?
Important Dates to Remember for February:
Wednesday Feb 15
Next “Pause” Night at Propel. A night where we “Pause” to breathe in and breathe out the reality that God is active in our lives. We just need to take a break to see that.
Friday Feb 17
Rock 4 Love. Propel’s idea of a good time: loud music, bunch of people, and food.
See you on Wednesday at 7pm for Propel.
Love ya’ll,

Propel Wednesday 7PM

Here is what we are talking about this Wednesday. I look forward to seeing you at Propel at 7pm.
NOT THAT INTO YOU
Every one of us has experienced it at some point. At one time, we were really into a relationship—whether that’s a friendship or a dating relationship—and now, well, not so much. We’re just not that into it anymore. So we walk away or we let the relationship die. But what happens when that relationship you’re not that into anymore is the one you have with God? You were really into Him at one point. You were feeling connected, directed, close. Now it feels like nothing. How do you deal with it?
Session One: The Breakup? (Wed Jan 24)
There is a natural ebb and flow to our relationships, isn’t there? There are times when we feel really close to someone, and times when we don’t. The reasons vary, but there are times when we’re just not feeling that into a relationship. It’s true of our friendships and other relationships, but what happens when it happens in our relationship with God? And when it does, why is it so difficult to admit it?
Love ya’ll and God Bless,

Hey Propellors,
Last week, we talked about how God is everywhere and if we pause and look, we can find Him. But sometimes that’s really hard to do, isn’t it? Sometimes life gets really hard. Sometimes life hurts a lot. Sometimes pain and disappointment seem pretty intense and God seems really far away. But even in those moments, God is there. In fact, God is known for taking even the worst situations and bringing something good out of them. We just can’t always see that until we pause . . . and then discover that God is closer than your breath.
Throughout this series “Pause,” I have encouraged you to take time to pause. Have you tried it?
What can you cut out to make more time to be still? What could you say no to? Are you finding time to be silent and still? Has it been hard for you to slow down? What has been the biggest distraction to you? What has helped you as you have been learning to pause throughout the week?
I would love to hear how it is going.
This week we will discuss that as we pause we can discover God.
Can’t wait to see you at Propel: 7pm on Wednesday.
love you all,
sammyD

Wednesday at Propel
November 28, 2011
Here is what we are talking about this Wednesday at Propel:
Unwrapping Christmas Session 1: Unpacked
Bottom Line: The Christmas story may be familiar but it isn’t ordinary.
Christmas is predictable. We call it tradition, which can be a beautiful and familiar thing. But this may be unsettling for some of us because the same old same old leaves us with little to look towards beyond the 25th of December. As we reread the story of Jesus’ birth in the book of Luke, we are also going to look at a brief history of the Roman Empire and just how radical Jesus’ birth was for the Israelites at that time. Christmas is an opportunity for more than just the routine we are used to. It is a call to deal with the “Caesars” holding power over us, keeping us from finding true peace through fulfillment in Jesus.
See you at 7pm.
Pastor Sammy D
Propel “Celebrates” Wednesday at 7pm
September 19, 2011
What if you acknowledged the steps you took every day in your own “walk” with God? What if you realized you may be exactly where God wants you to be, learning the things you need to know one step at a time? It brings a lot of freedom, doesn’t it? What if we started celebrating not only the steps we take every day, but the steps those around us do as well? All that celebration begins to turn into one big party.
Join us on Wednesday at 7pm for Propel as we “Celebrate” our steps. We will have food, so come hungry.

Propel’s Bowling Night
August 23, 2011
Time: 7-9PM, meet here at Greenbrier Church at 6:30PM if you want to carpool. We will return to church at 9:20PM if you want to meet your parents there.
Money: $12 for unlimited bowling, shoes, slice of pizza and some pop, and unlimited fun! You can give me cash or make a check out to Greenbrier Church.
We have a group rate that makes it cheaper than for everyone to pay individually.
Any questions give me a buzz.
God Will Restore Me
April 11, 2011
God sees everything. He sees all the conversations, hears each comment, relates to every sickness and diseases, feels every strain in relationships and understands each stress point. God sees everything and promises to restore.
“He restores my soul.” (Psalms 23:3)
Eternal Provider and Loving God, I am so grateful that you are here. You have seen my pain and sorrow; you have heard the words spoken against me, and the stresses that wear me out. I will depend on you to heal my wounds and to restore my soul. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
