Welcome to Topinabee Community Church. Our mission is simple – to help people develop and maintain an intimate relationship with God. We are a non-denominational church made up of people from a wide variety of religious backgrounds. 
 
 We are not perfect, but we are all genuinely seeking a way to celebrate what Jesus has done, is doing, and will do in our lives. We believe that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose. (Romans 8:28)
 
 We hope you will have the opportunity to join us as we enjoy fellowship with God. You will be welcomed, accepted as you are, and encouraged to grow in Christ.

 AND THEN IT WAS WINTER 

You know, time has a way of moving quickly and
catching you unaware of the passing years.

It seems just yesterday that I was
young, just married and embarking on my new life
with my mate. And yet in a way, it seems like
eons ago, and I wonder where all the years
went.

I know that I lived them all...
And
I have glimpses of how it was back then and of
all my hopes and dreams... But, here it is..the
winter of my life and it catches me by
surprise... How did I get here so fast? Where
did the years go and where did my youth go?
I remember well...seeing older people
through the years and thinking that those older
people were years away from me and that winter
was so far off that I could not fathom it or
imagine fully what it would be like... 
But, here it is...my friends are retired and
getting gray...they move slower and I see an
older person now. Some are in better and some
worse shape than me. But, I see the great
change...  Not like the ones that I
remember who were young and vibrant... But, like
me, their age is beginning to show and we are
now those older folks that we used to see and
never thought we'd be. 
Each day
now, I find that just getting a shower is a real
target for the day!  And taking a nap is
not a treat anymore...it's mandatory! 
Cause if I don't on my own free will..I just
fall asleep where I sit!
And so, now
I am into this new season of my life
unprepared for all the aches and pains and the
loss of strength and ability to go and do things
that I wish I had done but never did!!
But, at least I know, that though the
winter has come, and I'm not sure how long it
will last...this I know, that when it's
over...its over....Yes , I have regrets. There
are things I wish I hadn't done ,,,,,things I
should have done, but indeed, there are many
things I'm happy to have done.  It's all in
a lifetime....
So, if you're not in your
winter yet...let me remind you, that it will be
here faster than you think. So, whatever you
would like to accomplish in your life please do
it quickly!  Don't put things off too long!!

Life goes by quickly.  So,
do what you can today, as you can never be sure
whether this is your winter or not!
There is no promise that you will
see all the seasons of your life...so, enjoy
each day and

Say the important things you want to
be remembered..

'Life is a gift to you, and the way you
live is your gift to GOD and
others.

Prayer is not a "spare wheel" that you pull out when in  trouble, but it is a "steering wheel"  that directs the right path throughout.

BEAUTIFUL ARRANGEMENT OF AMAZING GRACE

http://www.clarrissegill.com/videoclips/amazing_grace.php 

 A Poem Worth Reading

I was shocked, confused, bewildered 
As I entered Heaven's door, 
Not by the beauty of it all, 
Nor the lights or its decor. 

But it was the folks in Heaven 
Who made me sputter and gasp-- 
The thieves, the liars, the sinners,
The alcoholics and the trash. 

There stood the kid from seventh grade 
Who swiped my lunch money twice. 
Next to him was my old neighbor 
Who never said anything nice. 

Bob, who I always thought 
Was rotting away in hell, 
Was sitting pretty on cloud nine, 
Looking incredibly well. 

I nudged Jesus, 'What's the deal? 
I would love to hear Your take. 
How'd all these sinners get up here? 
God must've made a mistake. 

'And why is everyone so quiet, 
So somber - give me a clue.' 
'Hush, child,' He said,
'they're all in shock. 
No one thought they'd be seeing you.' 

JUDGE NOT!! 

Every saint has a PAST... 
Every sinner has a FUTURE!

CELL PHONE VS. THE BIBLE

Ever wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible like we treat our cell phone?

What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets?

What if we flipped through it several times a day?

What if we turned back to go get it if we forgot it?

What if we used it to receive messages from the text?

What if we treated it like we couldn't live without it?

What if we gave it to Kids as gifts?

What if we used it when we traveled?

What if we used it in case of emergency?

This is something to make you go....hmm...where is my Bible?

Oh, and one more thing.

Unlike our cell phone, we don't have to worry about our Bible being
disconnected because Jesus already paid the bill.

Makes you stop and think 'where are my priorities? And no dropped calls!

When Jesus died on the cross, he was thinking of you!
