February 2008


I’m pretty excited because Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova just won the Oscar for best song!!!

As I blogged about a little while back, I thought ‘Once’ was a GREAT movie, with great music and I’m glad to see this “little movie that could” getting some great honors.

my Pa’Pa’ was an amazing man!

PaPa young and old

head on over to Jason’s blog to read the memorial speech he gave at Pa’Pa’s funeral.

(by the way, it’s pronounced “Paw-Paw”)

shane claiborne / irresistable revolution

YES… IT’S TRUE!!!

We are welcoming Shane Claiborne, author of the Irresistable Revolution, to speak at APEX - Mon, Feb 11 at 7:30. Shane is a radical follower of Jesus who believes we should turn off our TV’s, pick up our Bibles, and rethink the way we live. He has ministered among the homeless in the inner city of Philedelphia… among the lepers in Calcutta with Mother Theresa… and even in the suburbs of Chicago with Willow Creek Community Church. He is passionate about inviting churches across the US to live in a way that displays the love of Jesus…

This event is open to all of APEX and to the general public. Admission is free, however, an offering will be taken to benefit local community organizations. Shane will give a presentation followed by a time of prayer and Q&A.

Please come!!!
