  • Vision Series 2018: “Where We're Going: Push Back the Darkness” Matthew 5:14-16 We Are on Week 2 of Our Vision Series
    Vision Series 2018: “Where We’re Going: Push Back the Darkness” Matthew 5:14-16 We are on week 2 of our Vision Series, and as you’ve already heard this morning from our Vision Team members and specifically from Molly Pitkin, we are going to spend this time looking deeply into our new mission statement which was revealed last week after a year of prayer, learning, and listening. Again, Colonial’s mission is “To be the light of Christ in a hurting culture so that the lost are found, the broken are made whole, the fatherless find hope, and our city is blessed.” As Molly mentioned, this mission statement was “discovered” by a team of people who spent many, many hours together in prayer, study, conversation, and discernment. Again, the Vision Team Members included Steve Aliber, our current Clerk of Session; Jim Cannon, our former Clerk of Session; Brian Mack, our Elder of Strategic Planning; Ken Kurtz…a current Elder at Wornall; Kevin Nunnally…a recent Elder at Wornall; Meda Green…Chair of Deacons at Quivira; Molly Pitkin…high school youth leader at Quivira; Ken Blume…Executive Director of Programs and Ministries; and me as the Lead Pastor. We benefitted greatly from our facilitator, Ted Vaughn, who guided us through a wonderful process of discovery. Now, before I jump into unpacking the Mission Statement, let me address some of your questions that I’ve been asked over the past week. First, I was asked why words like “making disciples” and “doing everything for the glory of God” were left out of our mission statement.

  • U-17 Goaltending Program Technical Curriculum
    U-17 Goaltending Program Technical Curriculum U-17 Goaltending Program Technical Curriculum INTRODUCTION: GOALTENDING SKATING DRILLS To be a good goaltender you must be an efficient skater. Your goaltender does not necessarily have to be the fastest skater on the team, but the best in terms of control and mobility. Pushes from post to post and ability to get quickly to plays laterally are essential for goalies to be able to perform at a high level. Goaltenders must learn to push with strength and stop hard when needed. So when doing T-push or shuffle drills I suggest everything is done in sequence. Example: A coach should be calling out for the goalie to PUSH----STOP----PUSH----STOP------ PUSH----STOP etc. giving one second in between pushes. This will give the goaltender time to recover and will keep him from developing bad habits by doing the drill too fast. The ability for a goaltender to change directions quickly is also an absolute must as today’s game is a lot about trying to create a situation to get a goaltender moving in the wrong direction. In order to do this, and be effective, skating drills are a natural part of goaltender development.

  • When You Get Knocked Down Hebrews 12:4-6
    When You Get Knocked Down Hebrews 12:4-6 “Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. This is what the ancients were commended for. By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible. By faith Abel… By faith Enoch… By faith Noah… By faith Abraham… By faith Isaac and Jacob... By faith Joseph… By faith Moses' parents…and Moses… By faith the walls of Jericho fell, after the people had marched around them for seven days. By faith the prostitute Rahab... And what more shall I say? I do not have time to tell about Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel and the prophets, who through faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, and gained what was promised; who shut the mouths of lions, quenched the fury of the flames, and escaped the edge of the sword; whose weakness was turned to strength; and who became powerful in battle and routed foreign armies. Women received back their dead, raised to life again. Others were tortured and refused to be released, so that they might gain a better resurrection. Some faced jeers and flogging, while still others were chained and put in prison. They were stoned; they were sawed in two; they were put to death by the sword. They went about in sheepskins and goatskins, destitute, persecuted and mistreated-- the world was not worthy of them. They wandered in deserts and mountains, and in caves and holes in the ground… Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.
