Adam Mock Just curious, how many of you thought Scott's apology on behalf of the church and christians was a breath of fresh air? Very sobering.

Hi Orchard! Please help us make this a special Christmas by nominating someone in need for A JALAPENO CHRISTMAS, our $5k Charity Giveaway! Visit www.jalapenopaintwerx.com/about-us/jalap eno-christmas.html to learn more!

Ronald Very convicting weekend. Dave Gibbons on Sunday morning and Matt Redman/Casting Crowns on Saturday night. Both gave me a lot to think about

Kevin Hoogeveen The Orchard is great. The Leadership Team is great. The Staff is great. The volunteers are great. The church body is great. It is easy to praise all of the people and the "The Orchard" but we need to never forget that this is all true because God is truly working through us and has great plans for the church.

Tim Piatek I don't even have the words to describe just how awesome and powerful the service was this morning. It is going to be a great week!

Kathryn Freeman Egly Do you have extra Halloween candy you want to get rid of? Drop it off in Orchard Kids tomorrow!

The Orchard Community One more thing: tonight is Daylight Savings Time... so be sure to set your clocks back an hour and enjoy the extra hour of sleep!

The Orchard Community Hello Orchard Tribe! Just a reminder:No Saturday 5pm gathering tonight! Enjoy the time with your family and friends and remember, Dave Gibbons will be sharing both at the 9am and 11am gathering tomorrow morning. You won't want to miss it! We're expecting a packed house, so get there early to grab a seat! See you tomorrow!

For those of you looking to get connected at The Orchard, the very best way is to serve. My family and I have been at The Orchard for about 6 months and have not had a chance to connect with that many people. Just helping out this week with The Story, I have meet so many people and feel so much more connected to the ...church. There is nothing better than being around a bunch of people who all share a common goal.....To glorify God. Still not sure, volunteer for something and see what happens!!Read More
