Welcome

 

Hey, it worked! 

 

(We designed this site to help you check us out from the comfort of your computer – and there you are!) 

 

Glad you made it this far!

 

Here’s our deal.  Willowbrook is a bunch of people who are different from each other in many ways (we have people from Rochester and Romania, people born in Detroit and people born in Dominican Republic, we have rock’n’rollers and country music crazies and professional jazz players, we have Republicans and Democrats, Baptists and Catholics, Dolphin fans’ and Bills’ fans, people who have ulcers and people who give ulcers, we have engineers and ballerinas and woodchuck hunters and school teachers) – we're a fairly diverse group, except for one thing -- we're all discovering that life is better when you choose to do things Jesus’ way!

Our Current Study

 

Fast and Furious . . .


     Mark starts out at a sprint and accelerates from there! More action-packed, more confusing, more violent than the other Gospels, this collection of stories from Jesus’ life ("pericopes" for the theologians amongst us) forms a string of beads that shows the disciples at their worst, the ladies at their best, and Jesus at His most secretive! And Mark begs us to hear the message that can make all the difference – “change your minds and have confidence in Jesus!” We're digging in, a chapter a week -- until we get to Easter Sunday (April 8) and we come to what might be the most puzzling ending you'll ever read – and we’d love for you to be part of this study!



Walker's Weekly (W)Rewind

 

Here’s what we did together on Sunday morning, Jan 22.

 

It was the last chance for getting into the photo directory, so David Cleary took pictures. Lots and lots of pictures, which we instantly looped on one of the monitors in the lobby to entertain the people hanging out out there. (If you didn’t sit for a photo, I’m going to draw you in our book – hey, you had your chance!)

 

Grant Perry led us through the financial picture surrounding our three-year, three-pronged congregational outreach – and reported that as we enter our second year, we have about $90,000 in the bank at the end of 2011, we hope to have about $270,000 come in and that we think we’ll use about $290,000 in 2012, leaving us about $70,000 with which to head into 2013. (We’ll vote on those numbers next Sunday.)  

 

And there was a short but important sermon on Mark 4’s parables about the Kingdom of God (which looks a lot more like a seed than a boulder), which comes by us hearing it and taking it in (at which point it takes over and revolutionizes our life). That was followed by Greg leading us all in a really nice version of “Fly to Jesus, fly to Jesus, fly to Jesus, and live!” (the Untitled Hymn).

 

Quite good assemblies. Encouraged everyone to read through the Gospel of John this week – and to come back next Sunday for some of Jesus’ best miracles ever.
