"Orange" is a worship movement which celebrates our desire to be multigenerational and intentional. Focus is placed on home and church working in tandem, acknowledging that our combined efforts have the greatest impact upon one's faith. The message this week is given to us by our Children's Pastor Debbie Coutts.

EXPEREINCING PRAYER

Prayer at its most basic is a is a conversation with God. We pray in ways that are as diverse as we are: through silent meditation, through spoken word, through dance, or through other art forms. Since prayer is a dialogue, part of prayer means that we listen to God speaking to us. When we can still ourselves enough to listen to God, that is when prayer becomes most effective. For most of us, however, instead of listening we have a tendency to bubble over with requests and complaints.

PART 2 - DESPERATE FOR GOD

If you have ever hit rock bottom, if your circumstances have ever forced you to cry out to God, if your life has ever not gone according to the script you had in your mind, if you have ever ended up in a place that you never intended to be, if you have ever experienced something that was fun at first but then thought, "this habit is digesting me.  I'm being swallowed by this thing" and felt trapped --  then the story of Jonah is a story that you need to hear.

PART 1 - RUNNING FROM GOD

Pastor Dana starts a new series of messages based on the book of Jonah, from the Old Testament. Part one focuses on how it is foolish to run from God, but how we do it all the time.

PART 6 - WE HAD TO CELEBRATE

Pastor Dana wraps up the series on the Parable of the Prodigal Son by looking at this theme of home.  When the younger son in the story longs for home, it is more than geography that he is longing for.  And when the father throws a lavish party, it is a picture of the kind of homecoming that our souls ache for.

PART 4 - THE TRUE OLDER BROTHER

Pastor Sherri shares a message with us regarding the "older brother" of the Prodigal Son story. This message explores how the older son was just as lost as the younger son.  The way both sons rebelled against the father may have looked very different to an onlooker, but the motivation behind both was the same.  They simply wanted the father's things, not the father's heart. This message challenges listeners to put behind the things we have always thought to be true about religion and move forward in our relationship with God.
