Hi, my name is Jeremy Allexon and I am one of the new interns at DC Metro.  Gee… Where to begin…  I came in one day after being let go from my job and Pastor David offered me a chance to be a guinea pig in this grand experiment called a church internship.  Well what do I do?  I cut some mean paper with the paper cutter, the paper trimmer and a pair of hand cutters.   Other things I do is manage and run the resource center and keep track of all the stuff that keeps the shop and the church running like coffee and coffee supplies, God forbid we run out of those.  The highlight of my internship thus far is that I get to work with great people for God, and learn a lot about Starbucks Coffee from our resident AV Director & Starbucks Coffee Master John Lee.

Hello, I’m Jessica Sorensen, two years ago my husband, Dana, and I moved here from Michigan because Dana is in the Air Force and stationed at Bolling AFB. Shortly after we moved here we tried out a few churches and were really discouraged because we couldn’t find a church home. Dana’s supervisor, Andy invited us to a vision night for DC Metro Church, we were a little nervous about going but we did. We made some great friends that night and we really fell in love with the church. I started by serving in the Children’s Ministry and then about a year and half ago I started volunteering at the office one day a week, and that became a few days a week. A few months ago I started as the service coordinator on Sundays, so if you have seen someone running around the theater that’s probably me. I really have enjoyed serving God in these roles at church. Now I am happy to say that this week I started as an accountant at DC Metro church, I work three days a week at the office and still get to spend a couple days at home with my 15 months old son, Teagan.

It is such a blessing being at the church, doing work for Jesus and building his kingdom.

OK So the above photo has nothing to do with this blog post accept it does have some great news - Isaac learned how to pedal - aren’t they cute!  OK plus its father’s day this Sunday and I am their proud dad!

Blog Post starts here… - - Couple of great things going on at church that I was so pumped about - had to share them with you since we are doing the “12 Minutes of Prayer” P90X at church…

Here goes some cool ones for me personally:

• JESUS designed a new kitchen for us at IKEA (no really a guy named Jesus designed our kitchen at IKEA!)  I thought that was cool because it is like the cheapest kitchen on the planet! (GO GOD - and the guy named Jesus at IKEA!) - OK so maybe this is just neat…
• BIG News - Kaci Calvaresi is Cancer Free!  We have been praying for Kaci as a church for several months - and you guessed it, she has been given a clear bill of health!  Go God!
• Multiple Good News - In the last month, There have been 4 babies born at DC Metro!  Go God!  Guess you could say that we are all about “populating the earth” at DC Metro…  This is how committed we are to growing as a church - we multiply!

Here are some families to congratulate and some little ones to welcome:

Matt & Amber Streit ~ Baby Deacon

David & Aracely Garcia ~ Baby Diego

Mark & Keirsten Kelly ~ Baby Jake

Chris & Lisa Andres ~ Baby Blaise

I have also heard of some incredible things that God is doing in Marriages, Relationships, and in Personal Finances so lets keep pressing in as I know that God is on the move at DC Metro and in so many people’s lives due to the 12 Minutes of Prayer that we are committing to as a church.

Looking forward to seeing all of you this Sunday (Father’s Day!),

GO GOD!

Been hanging with Pastor Billy Hornsby ( Head of the Association of Related Churches which we belong to - www.relatedchurches.com ) this weekend and just downloaded tons of great Leadership Nuggets at our HNL Leadership Training this afternoon.

Looking forward to hearing a great word tomorrow morning as we have him on Sunday Morning at DC Metro Church!

Get pumped and ready - tomorrow is going to be a great Sunday at DC Metro Church!

See You There!

We all have Hard Times…   Lets face it - Life can be TOUGH at times…  and even though it tastes so good, it takes a whole lot more than a bowl of chili to get through it…

Dont worry though, as we will see this weekend King David also faced some Really Hard Times, and lived to tell us all about God’s Prescription for Hard times… 

This weekend get ready to get out of that Funk, and back on track - Thriving In Life!

Go God!

Yes that is right, this weekend we are going to tackle the BIG and often times STRESSFUL subject of Making Decisions. 

What is Jesus’ Plan For My Future?, what direction do I take?, who should I marry?, what job should I take?, What is the next step for me?  These, and any questions about our decisions can be stressful questions in all of our our lives…

Dont Stress Out –> Dr. God has got the perfect prescription for you… 

This weekend we will look at Dr. God’s Prescription for indecision…

See You Sunday Morning!

Emotions -

To most guys I know, this can be a BAD word, however once looking into it, it is a normal human word that we ALL deal with - not just our female counterparts…  I have been doing alot of study on emotions in the recent months, and I must say there is SO MUCH MORE than meets the eye when it comes to this critical topic…  In fact, I am so pumped about this weekend as we are going to look at what God’s Word has to say about our Emotions.  It never ceases to amaze me about how “all-encompassing” & “practical-to-life” God’s Word is when it comes to every aspect of our everyday lives (including our emotions).

This weekend we are going to dive deep into our emotions and reveal God’s Prescription for keeping them HEALTHY and allowing Him to RESTORE them when they are not…

Get ready for a Great Weekend at DC Metro! 

Go God!
