Attention football geeks (as well as those who giggle every time they hear that “tight end” is a position in football) — the Branch is having a fantasy football league. It actually has little to do with the competition and more with relationship. The draft is happening Sunday, August 21st, immediately after worship. We’ll provide lunch, and participation in the league is free.
Space is limited: please e-mail Chris if you plan on joining us: chri

Week 8: John 20
During this series we’re hoping to, in the words of Eugene Peterson, ‘eat this book’. We want to chew on the words of Scripture so that they begin to seep deep into our souls. Below, you’ll find the ‘story of the week’. We hope you’ll join us for the journey.

ime in prayer for Haiti, we dove into the first week of this powerful series.
As we’ve watched the images and heard the stories from Haiti, our hearts have been broken. We mourn the devastation and the loss. But we also know that we are called to act. We join our voices with our brothers and sisters in Haiti who are crying out to God for mercy and provision. And we join the effort to save and restore lives. If you’re wondering how you can get involved, you’ll find a number of tangible ways below:
Assemble and ship hygiene kits through Church World Service
Assemble and ship baby kits through Church World Service
Join a Grand Rapids church’s (90% of whom are Haitians) food and fundraising initiative.
Week 5 – Ezekiel
After moving to a new content management system and a new domain host, I just don’t have the energy to figure out how to keep the same podcast feed… so that means if you are currently subscribed to branch messagecast you will cease to receive new audio in iTunes. If you want to subscribe to the Branch podcasts in the future you’ll need to use the links below:
