Prayer Retreat Details

I haven't heard from a lot of people, but I hope you're making plans to be a part of this weekend's retreat! Here is what you need to know:

• Thursday night won't start until around 7:30 PM (we have a little school event conflict, but it will all work out!) and Friday night we'll have dinner around 6 PM with prayer/worship at 7 PM.
• Anyone is welcome to stay the night either Thursday or Friday night. For that, you'll need some bedding or a sleeping bag, a pillow, and towel.  There are beds, different rooms--this is a great facility if you've never been!
• For meals, we'll be bringing out some simple meals and if anyone participating would bring some drinks and snacks to put with it, that would be wonderful!
• If you can be a part for any or all of this, please let me know so we can plan effectively. Email me with when you can be a part if I haven't heard from you already! Also let me know if you have any questions and I'll be happy to answer.

I really encourage you to be there. God is doing some great things and we have some wonderful opportunities in front of us. This is simply a few moments to get away, relax, draw near to God, and enjoy some fellowship too. I am anticipating a life-changing weekend so don't miss out.  Again, just let me know how you can be a part.

More grace and multiplied blessings,

Pastor Jason

Some Reminders for the Week

Here's a rundown of some things we'd love for you to be a part of:

• Special night at Jason and Andrea's: dinner at 6 PM (bring stuff to go with tacos) then we'll be trying to set up the church. We're getting the chairs and sound set up as much as we can. It's all coming together and if you want to enjoy some fellowship and can help us put the final pieces in place, come on!
• Church Retreat: next Thursday night and all day Friday we'll be out at the Shrine of St. Therese (Jubilee cabin) to meet, pray, worship, laugh, and yes, eat. :) If you can be there (either for the whole thing or part), let us know so we can plan accordingly. Need more info, email or give me (Jason) a call. I want as many as can be a part of this!
• Please keep praying! We've made a lot of headway on the new building and it's so exciting, but we still need to see some great financial miracles. We get to stand and see God's provision together so keep declaring that we are doing the impossible.

There may be other announcements, but I can't think of them now! Blessings to you all,

Pastor Jason

Updates for the weekend

Good morning, it's tax day! If you haven't done so, get those taxes done, you still have a few hours!

There's only a couple of reminders for today and this weekend:

Bible Study and dinner -Tonight April 15 at 6:00pm at Pastor Jason & Andrea's home - Please bring something to help with the meal and then we will continue watching a video on relationship building.

On Saturday April 17th, we will need all the help we can get for setting up & getting the building ready for Sunday service. If you are interested in helping out, please call Pastor Jason or Andrea at 723-5667 or 321-0007.

Keep declaring that 2010 is the year that we will see the impossibles become possible! Keep believing!

Have a great weekend and hope to see you soon!

This weekend's updates

We have a busy, busy weekend ahead of us. Here's our announcements & reminders:

• Sean & Yvonne will be married this Sunday April 11 at 3:00pm at Breakthrough Church. The reception follows the blessed event at 4:30pm at DZ Middle School commons. Thank you to those who has helped out thus far. Please call Andrea 321-0007 if you have time to contribute for last minute things.
• Food is still needed for the reception. Please email Jeannita at jeannita.stasyszen@alaska.gov with what you will be bringing.
• After a week of working diligently at the new church building, it's time to set things up again at the church in preparation for Sunday service & the wedding. Your help is needed to get this done. Please meet Pastor Jason at 3:00pm on Saturday. Your assistance is so very much appreciated.
• Saturday morning April 10 at 9:00am at the ANB Hall - Governor's Prayer Breakfast - Breakthrough Church has reserved a table and is a sponsor of this event. We are so blessed to live in this great state and have such a man of God as our state leader. Please contact Synde or Sherry to reserve your seat at Breakthrough's table. What a wonderful time of fellowship this will be!
• Also, volunteers for greeters and security are needed for this event. If interested in these areas of ministry, please contact Sherry. Thank you for your prayers as preparations continue.

These are exciting times! Please stay prayerful as God is taking us to new heights in Him. See you soon!

In Case You Missed it!

• Bible study- bring a dish you can share and come for dinner, fellowship, and a relationship-building video at 6 PM on Thursday (also at pastors' house). 
• We will need help putting the church together for service next week.  We'll need willing hands on Saturday around 3pm.  This week we'll be painting the outside (hopefully) and wiring for exit signs.  We also hope to possibly do one round of floor sanding.  If you can help, please contact Pastor Jason or just stop by!
• Don't forget the Governor's Prayer Breakfast is this Saturday at 9 AM.  Breakthrough Church is excited to support this event so we reserved a table.  If you are able to come, get your tickets through the church and let Sherry know you're coming. You won't want to miss it.

Thanks and blessings in Jesus' name!

Communion & Dedication tonite

It's Good Friday, the time we reflect on the death of our Lord Jesus Christ. As we reflect, remember His awesome sacrifice and unfailing love towards us.

We will meet tonite, April 2 at 7:00pm at our new church location to dedicate the new building and take communion together as a church family. This is a great thing the Lord has done for us and we just want to take this time to say 'thank you!'. Call 723-5667, 321-0007 or 789-2634 for directions.

For the Sunday potluck lunch, we have a (16-17 lbs) turkey & a (9-10 lbs) ham. So let's build the meal around these two meats. Please email Sherry hisfavoris4life@gmail.com with what you will bring to ensure we're not all bringing the same thing. Thank you for your contributions. We look forward to the wonderful weekend together.


May the miracles of this Holy season be present in your life. See you soon.
