The following is the first guest post we’ve had here…and who better to do it than James Cherian! Teaching on Sundays really isn’t one of my favorite things.  Even though I only do it once in a while, I usually start getting nervous about it three weeks in advance. By the Thursday before I teach, [...]

bob.wilson.blog is, let’s face it is a pretty lame. While we are in the process of upgrading the overall theme of the website, we are also wanting to come up with a name that doesn’t stink.

Sometimes however there are other answers… for example sometimes the reason is because, we think it’s fun. For example we often get asked, “Why do we occasionally ‘flip’ our Sunday morning worship service?”

If you’ve been at the Vineyard over the past couple of Sundays, then you’ve probably heard that we are taking this next week as a week of prayer & fasting. While we’re sure some of you have had some experience with prayer & fasting in the past, we recognize that for many people this may be the first time, they’ve actually had an opportunity to be part of something like this.

There are certain questions that those of us in leadership here @ the Vineyard get asked a lot.  So I thought that we’d take some time over the next few weeks and answer some of those questions. I figured we’d start with one we’ve heard since we first had men or women coming to the [...]

As some of you know, our church is part of a group of Vineyard churches that are involved in planting Vineyards down in the Dominican Republic.  Three pastors from our partnership have headed down to the DR, to connect with the churches down there, and have gone into Haiti as well.  Over the next several [...]
