I sure did!
Here's the original version of the song, Unstoppable God, by Elevation Church. Just a little Monday morning pick up to remind you that He reigns, UNSTOPPABLE in every moment of your day. Hope you're having a great one!

Morning Worship Monday
As Ben and I have been dreaming of our year and the things we want to incorporate and share with you in the next
325 days
7809 hours
468570 minutes
28114192 seconds
left of 2015.
We thought of training, events, success stories, and tips, but something stood out. Worship. Looking back, in times when we've grown deeper in our faith we realized how BIG a part worship played in drawing us closer to the person that Jesus is.
We want to share that with you.
So on some Mondays we will send out Morning Worship Monday posts. You'll never notice the impact "background noise" can make in your day at work in your headphones or at home with the kids until you make that "background noise" worship music.
So, today, enjoy this beautiful song called Jesus We Love You by Bethel Church.

Hoping you have a great day today. Thanks for all you do!

Vision Casting
2015. It's still weird to write, say, and think that this year is already here.
As I look back at the past year I'm impressed by what God did through Family Life Ministries. I feel blessed by what God did in my own personal life. And I'm excited about what God will do over the next 12 months.
But as I look back it also forces me to look forward as well. I look back to see where I'm coming from to project what the future may look like. When I finally look back on 2015 I want to be able to say "I'm closer to God this year then I've ever been!"
In The Lil Rippers we've been teaching something similar and to be honest it's not an easy task. We have jobs, families, school events, work events, church events, life events (I'm abusing the word events now aren't I?), etc. We're busy people and to take a step back and choose to spend MORE time with God seems impossible.
The truth is giving God MORE doesn't always mean more time, money, or even energy. Sometimes it just means more faith, more trust, more appreciation, or more invite in your life.
Getting closer to God can be as simple as recognizing Him in the small things every day. It could be deciding to pray each day when you wake up and go to sleep. Or it could be finally making that phone call you've been putting off.
At Coastline Community Church we have a 4 part Vision. Part of that Vision is "To Impact Future Generations For Christ." This makes our job simple, everything we do should be to impact future generations. If you walk in the office and catch me responding to an email, see me buying things at Walmart, or hear me talking to someone on the phone - it's because I want to value the time given to me this year to impact future generations.
If I can stick to that one goal throughout the year it makes decisions much easier. If it doesn't align with my the Vision it may not be important enough to pursue.
Further, each ministry within Family Life Ministries has their very own 3 part vision. When it comes to the individual ministries, we focus on those 3 things all year long. You can check out the Vision for volunteers and kids on our blog page under the "Volunteer Vision Plan" tab if you're interested.
As you plan your year or dream of what could be ahead - allow God to speak to your heart and cast Vision in your own life!
James 4:8 "Draw near to God and He will draw near to you."
Proverbs 29:18 "Where there is no vision, people will perish."
We love you each much and are praying for you and yours!

Big News For The Fall Season!
Hi Family Life Ministries Team,
Fall is here! Think cool(ish) breezes, fun holidays, and family time. We love this time of year in the Kingdon household and wait on every opportuntity to throw on a fire in the fire place. Sometimes we cheat and just turn the AC down, shhh don't tell!
We have some exciting things happening in our ministries and wanted to give you an idea of what's to come:
In November we're rolling out an all new DIGITAL Check In! This software will boost our safety, efficiency, gather info, and will help track attendance. Each classroom will dawn a crisp IPAD and badge printer. The only thing missing is you!
We want you to have a first look at the software and get a chance to familiarize yourself with Check In. Even if you find yourself a little less tech-savy than your 3 year old neighbor, you can still work this simple to use system!
On Saturday, October 18 we are hosting a training day to talk all things FLM. This will be a crucial event to attend if you or your children serve in FLM. We'll cover topics like Dress Code: You're on the floor, twirling with kids, picking things up, so things need to be covered up! We'll talk training like: Check in Systems, how to keep kids attention, and making an impact.
A formal invite for this event is to follow. It's going to be a GREAT time to learn and get to know one another!
Then, on Friday, October 24 we will have a Family Life Ministries event to invite all families with children ages 0-12 try out the system. We'll also enjoy a movie and popcorn together! A formal invite to all families will follow.
You are such a fantastic team! Thank you for taking the time to strengthen our ministries through training! You are making an impact!
Pastor Ben & Ashley Kingdon
