Are you feeling overwhelmed?
Often times we feel that we are slaves to the elements, circumstances, and consequences of bad decisions.
Well, here is your answer:
I sought the Lord and He heard me, And delivered me from all my fears. Ps. 34:4
What a Savior, what a Lord, He carries all your burdens? Will you let Him?
Blessings, Pastor Chuck

Greetings,
Today, someone gained access to an Elder's e-mail account and used it to mass-mail a spam link to the Upper Room's blog subscribers about a home based work program. We have since taken all of the necessary precautions and we hope that it will not happen again. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience it has caused.

What REALLY is going on here!?!

Having only a diet of "going to church" on Sunday mornings, it is impossible to fully live out the abundant life Jesus came to give us. Life in Christ is all about learning to be loved and to love. It doesn't happen well in a larger meeting. However, small groups of people intentionally gathering for that purpose are an excellent incubator. That's why we of the Upper Room are engaging in Fellowship Groups.

The purpose of these groups is to develop life-giving relationships that are highly encouraging, supportive, and valued. I may be getting the cart before the horse but here are 3 things we want you to know up front:
1. Join a group based on who is in it. -- You're more likely to develop valuable relationships if you're with people you want to get to know.
2. If it seems like the group is a bad fit, bail out within the first 3 weeks with no apprehension or guilt. -- We want you to develop great relationships so a bad experience would only hinder you from trying again.
3. If you go all ten weeks and still don't gel with the group, try a new one the next session. -- You are not locked in. Even if most everyone else wants to stay, you are free to try another group. And if it takes trying several groups to find the right fit, we want you to do so. This is important!
Now here are the details of the groups:
- Fellowship Groups meet every week and last for 10 weeks.
- There will be Spring, Fall, and Winter sessions with breaks in between. Summers will officially be off.
- The Spring semester will begin the week of March 25th and end the last week in May.
- Groups may choose to stay together for the next session or even meet through the Summer if they like.
- Though groups may be developed around other studies, the "default" is discussion and further study around the most recent Sunday morning message.
- Enroll in a group at the Welcome Center on Sunday morning. Note the time and day they meet to make sure that works for you.
- Since the quality of the relationships breaks down when the groups are too large, groups will be considered full when there are 14 people signed up.
- Starting March 25th, there will be no cafe or Sunday School hour. The Celebration service will be it on Sunday mornings and will start at 10 AM. Families will worship together and then separate equipping sessions for the kids will take place while the message is going on.
These Fellowship Groups can significantly contribute to you fulfilling your destiny as well as make life a whole lot more fun! That's why we're unabashedly asking everyone who calls the Upper Room their church family to be a part of a Fellowship Group. There's even groups for youth and for college age. (See Christy Calfee for those details.) The following adult groups still have openings:

Ron & Kathy Myers > Sunday 6:30 PM at the Myer's home in New Waterford

Zach & Molly Jones > Wednesday 6:30 PM at the Jones' home in Negley

Laurie Bertelsen > Wednesday 7 PM at the church building (This group will center around the theme of hearing God's voice.)

Greg & Marta Aker > Thursday 7 PM at the Aker's home in Columbiana

So try one out for 10 weeks. (Remember the three points this blog started with.) Sign up at the Welcome Center on Sunday if you haven't already.
