Conversations Jesus Had

This series is a survey of the life of Christ. The theme will be to learn conversations that Jesus had with various people, and we will try to go in chronological order from His early life until after His death.

The Blog

Sometimes there are thoughts that we'd love to share with you, but they really don't fit anywhere in particular. So we have a blog for just such items.

Music

We maintain a few shared playlists on Apple Music & Spotify. They serve two purposes: To allow you to learn songs before we sing them, and to listen to a wider array of songs that we have sung corporately for the life of Good News.

Financial Support

The stewardship of our finances is a tremendous—and often overlooked—area of our lives where we can faithfully proclaim the gospel. Giving strengthens our devotion to Christ and frees us to live open-handedly with the gifts God gives us. We trust in Him and His provision instead of our perceived self-sufficiency. As people of faith, we give faithfully and generously.

Give Your Money

Volunteer

Just as we can donate from our finances, we can also donate our time. In this way you can help serve people inside, and outside, the church body. We have many ways in which you can serve:

Ways To Give Your Time

Greeting people (new & old)
Coffee Corner Setup & Service
Lawn maintenance & care
Teaching Bible Lessons to kids
Watching babies, so the mother & father can attend the service
etc...

Worship Song: My Beloved

April 4, 2019
by Kennon Bickhart

The song I wanted to focus on in this article is, “My Beloved” by Crowder. We first sang this in the summer of 2017. One of our music leaders, Adam Lusk, first introduced this song while I was on vacation. It wasn’t something that happened behind my back, but he brought the song to me and said he wanted to sing it while I was away. I’m glad that our leaders feel confident enough to introduce new music while I’m not there to organize it.

Governing Board Update

March 13, 2019
by Mario Villella

The purpose of this article is to let you know about some small changes taking place regarding the governing board of Good News Church. The main things that are happening are that one elder (Adam Lusk) has rolled off the board after having completed his term as elder, two other elders (Lance Powers and Charles Chazal) have continued into their second terms as elders. And another person (Ron Lynch) has been nominated to take the place vacated by Adam Lusk.

Worship Song: All The People Said Amen

March 7, 2019
by Kennon Bickhart

Back again with another article in the running series on the music we sing together at our services. This one is centered on the song, “All The People Said Amen” by Matt Maher. This song came out on April 23, 2013, but the first time we sang it was February 22, 2015. There was almost 2 full years between its release and us singing the song corporately at a Sunday morning service.

A Report On 2018

Here's a look back at a few things that our church, as an organization, did this past year.

What About Santa Claus?

January 3, 2019
by Mario Villella

The timing of this article is admittedly awful. In one sense, answering this question in January could be the least helpful time to do it. My apologies, but I honestly didn't think about addressing this topic until now. And now that it's in my head and heart, I don't want to wait for 10 or 11 months, and then try to remember to bring it up at the end of 2019.

Music As An Extension of Worship

November 29, 2018
by Kennon Bickhart

Recently, I started reading a book, loaned and recommended to me by a friend, titled "Worship As David Lived It" by Judson Cornwall. I haven't finished reading it, but one part I thought was interesting said this, "..."
