Back in Chicago this Weekend

Our family is driving out to Chicago this weekend! This will be our first visit back since we moved at the beginning of March. This will be our first road trip as a family of four, so it should be interesting. I'll be preaching at the Hyde Park Vineyard Church on Sunday morning, then performing a wedding that afternoon, and then we'll drive back to Columbus after that. If you are around in Chicago this weekend, we would love see you there!

The 90-Day Challenge





It's official! We are starting the 90-day challenge - to read the Bible from cover to cover in 90 days. We've asked a few of our friends to join us and keep us accountable. The plan will require reading the Bible for about 35-45 minutes every day. The reading plan is kind enough to give two "grace" days, for those days we are too busy par-tay-ing! If you are interested in joining us, please let me know. You can download the plan by clicking HERE.
