Real Beauty?

2010-03-27T22:51:00.002-04:00

"Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain,
but a woman who fears the Lord will be praised."

-- Proverbs 31:30

Health Issues:

Reebok's EasyTone. Avia's iTone. FILA's Walk n Sculpt. Sketchers' Shape Ups. We've all see the commercials, the ads, the "testimonials"...but the real question on your mind when you think about purchasing a particular brand of fitness shoes is, "Do they work?"

The answer to that question posted in this article may surprise you.

Got Group?

2010-02-21T11:50:00.001-05:00

God is doing amazing things through the dynamic Body we call Capstone Church. This is apparent in our ministry to the surrounding community, our fellowship and worship on Sundays, and in an incredible element of our church life known as homegroup. If you've never been to a homegroup, the idea is pretty plain and simple: believers from all walks of life engaging together over God's Word and a snack or two. But as members of every homegroup within our church will tell you, the Lord meets us there among friends in a truly awesome way. The first century church met together in a similar way, and the Holy Spirit transformed lives. Our church meets in this way weekly, and that same Holy Spirit is about the same business.

Curious about this simply awesome opportunity? E-mail Pastor David and let him tell you more about how you can experience homegroup for yourself! There's one waiting for you!

Financial Frenzy?

With Black Friday Coming up, many of you might be planning to "shop til you drop." But here are some signs that you may need to turn that spending light to yellow before you crash and burn.

Signs you need to be careful this Black Friday: (From Dave Ramsey)

1. You’ve set your alarm to wake up early and beat the crowds.

2. You don’t trust your alarm and are instead sleeping outside the store the night before Black Friday.

3. You’re resisting eating turkey on Thanksgiving because it makes you too sleepy to really “get your shop on.”

4. You personally call it “Happy Friday,” not Black Friday.

5. The only websites you have bookmarked are underground blogs that post secret info about Black Friday deals.

6. On Black Friday, you buy stuff you already own multiple copies of just because it’s heavily discounted.

7. You drink five coffees before the stores open.

8. You wear a hydration backpack full of coffee the entire day.

9. You scout stores a week before Black Friday in order to figure out the fastest, most efficient routes to take in the aisles.

10. You hustle people home before they’ve finished Thanksgiving dinner because you want to make sure you get enough sleep for Black Friday.

11. Your envelope system has caught on fire in the middle of a Black Friday because you’re using it so much.

12. You turn your copy of The Total Money Makeover over on your coffee table because you don’t want Dave to see how many things you buy on Black Friday.

Humorous? Yes. Serious? Maybe.

Read the whole article here and be careful out there this Black Friday!

Nope, not Twitter.

It's YouVersion, an online Bible-reading software that has a networking feature built in. YouVersion offers several options for reading the Bible in 30, 90, or 365 days and you just sign up for whichever one best fits you. Clicking on a verse enables you to read what others have posted about it or websites they found helpful in understanding it. It's all free.

I think it's great, so I've started a 365-day reading plan this week. YouVersion allows me to follow other people and what they are writing about their daily read -- reflections, inspirations, questions and whatever else. Capstone has also started a group on the site so that we can connect more easily. We'd love to see you there :) Go to youversion.com and sign up!

Game Night!

2009-03-29T11:25:00.000-04:00

Under His Wings, a ministry of Haven of Rest, provides a safe, supportive environment for ladies who have completed a substance abuse program and are starting a new life. The women there enter into a 12-week program that is intended to strengthen their faith and solidify their commitment to healthy living, and we couldn't be more thrilled to be involved with what God is doing through it.

This month we have another opportunity to bring Game Night into the Under His Wings house, Capstone style! We would love for you to come join us on Friday, April 23 at 6:15. We will meet up at the church office and ride over together, wrapping things up around 8:30. Each person who participates is asked to bring a simple snack to feed 12-15 ladies. It's sure to be a great time, so mark your calendar and make your plans now to experience this blessing with us!

One Child

2008-10-21T10:36:00.000-04:00

"One million chains could never hold back this moment in time

One thousand dreams could never dream what this moment truly means

Heaven and earth, they cradle the infinite Joy born on this night

For it only takes one Child to forever change the world..."

Merry Christmas from
Capstone Church!
