No Complaining
We had a great Sunday despite the snowy weather that keeps some away. Please remember to tithe regularly even when you miss a Sunday. You can drop your tithe off at the office or go online to give.
This past Sunday Craig challenged us to Quit Complaining. Not just for the sake of self help, but to become more like Christ. Complaining draws the attention away from Christ in our lives and puts the complaint front and centre. More like Christ... how you doing? Go to our Facebook page and share your thoughts on moving away from complaining.
Point your family to what they can be rather than reminding them what they are not. -- Brandon Duff
If you missed Sunday's talk your can watch it online, I Quit Complaining.
Do you know that statistics tell us that you will forget 95% of everything you hear within 72hours, that's why we encourage discussion of the Sunday Talk within your LifeGroup or 1 on 1 over a coffee. Don't forget to Talk It Over.
Volunteer Appreciation Dinner, February 20th. Sign up this Sunday or email lindsay@churchatthefalls.com
See you Sunday at 10 am, for week 3 of "I Quit", I Quit Comparing.

No More Excuses
I hope you were able to be part of our Sunday experience this past weekend. We had a dynamic day! One of the highest in attendance. One public profession of faith! It's exciting to be part of a church that is making a difference in so many lives. Let's keep making it happen, we can't do it without you.
Craig challenged us in his talk to quit making excuses. Often we make excuses about why we are the way we are or why we can't change. Did you identify the area that you need to see changed? So as you move forward this week, do what you can do. Step out in faith and make the changes, take the steps you can, make that call. Then let God do the rest.
Here's a link to Sunday's talk, I Quit Making Excuses
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my
power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will
boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that
Christ’s power may rest on me. 10 That is why, for
Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hard-
ships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am
weak, then I am strong. 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 NIV

Here's a great 21 day fast story
Just wanted share a little of my week of "fasting."
I have to say, I'm amazed !! I've established a very consistent morning time with God and I love it, it fills me up, gets me started on the right track, connects me, reminds me who's in control :), and has helped me to developed a real relationship with God like I never imagined was possible for me.
As I have fasted this week (first time ever), I have been reminded repeatedly to look to God, not just in the morning but through out my day. This week, I have pulled God into my days, several times a day and it has made me realize that I have been cheating myself by not having done this more before.
What the fasting has created is an opportunity for me to turn to him for strength (as my will power just doesn't cut it). What seemed like a little thing to ask Him for help with, is in fact huge!!......because I am asking him for help. It's easy to turn to Him when the really "big deals" come along and shake us up, but what I've learned is the difference He makes when He's invited into the little things too. I am trusting Him more, in all aspects of my life and I needed that more than I ever could have imagined.

21 Day Fast - starts Monday
Dear CATF 21 Day "Fasters",
As you enter into the 21 day fast beginning on Monday, January 3 I would like to share a few thoughts with you.
Please realize that fasting is all about God having more of your life. As you deny yourself food or some other activity, I trust it will bring you to a place of greater dependence and focus on God. In addition I encourage you to spend time with God not only first thing each day but also spend time with him as you fast a meal. If you are cutting out certain foods, each time your stomach growls or you long for that favourite food -- turn that time into a prayer moment.
Use this time of fasting to pray more often. To express your need for God in a new and fresh way. Lift praise and thanks to God for your salvation and the many blessings in your life. Confess sin and areas of struggle. Please pray specifically for an area of need in your life, family or a friends life. Seek out others and pray with them. Share prayer by email, facebook or over the phone.
In addition, seek God on behalf of Church at the Falls. Pray for God's power upon our church, for spiritual growth, for people to come to faith in Christ, for wisdom, for greater impact.
I would also suggest that you take time to worship. http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=worship&aq=f
Here is a great online Bible reading plan that goes with the 21 days of prayer.

Here's some great fasting info from a friend of LifeChurch.tv

I don't expect you to blow it.... but if you do... just start over again. It's not about legalism or "doing it right". It's about God working in your life and he will do that even if you aren't perfect :-)
Seek him in all you do. I look forward to hearing great things from each of you.
