Spring Fling - Save The Date! 

His Eye Is On The Sparrow

"Look at the birds of the sky. They do not sow or reap or store away food in barns and yet your heavenly father feeds them.
Are you not much more valuable than they?" - Matthew 6:26

Please join us for a time of food, fun and fellowship as Peter Neumann leads us in singing our favorite old hymns.

We will enjoy a potluck lunch and ask that you bring the following:

Last Name A-H - Main Dish
Last Name I-P - Salad

Bob and his wife, Nancy, have been attending Creekside since 1991 with a five-year sojourn to Germany as missionaries. He accepted the Lord in the fall of 1977. He began his full-time ministry as high school pastor at Bethany Community Church in Tempe, Arizona, starting there right after seminary in 1982. Bob and Nancy were married in 1979 and have two children. Bob grew up in Southern California, and says his hobbies include Cat whispering, Hula Hoop theology and traveling…. Actually, the last is true. Add, reading, and watching old movies. His favorite verses are: · Phil. 1:6 – Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. · John 14:27 – Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
