Welcome! We’re so glad you’ve chosen to worship with us this morning!
During the singing and praying, please feel free to stand, sit, kneel, raise
your hands, etc. as you feel comfortable. During the service this morning,
we’ll worship God by contributing to an offering. If you feel led to
participate, you may place your offering in the collection plate, put it in the
offering box at the back of the sanctuary, or give online.
New Here? We’re honored that you’ve chosen to worship with us this
morning! If you haven’t already received a Welcome Packet, please stop by
the Connection Corner outside the worship center and pick one up. We
would also like to give you a free book, How Not To Miss God Moving. The
friendly folks at the Connection Corner can tell you about upcoming New
Member Classes as well as answer any questions you have about
Ridgeline.

Family Worship Next Sunday Potluck and Congregational Meeting
Join us immediately following second service for a potluck fellowship and a
brief congregational meeting to vote on the nomination for our lead pastor
position. Hot dogs and hamburgers will be provided; each family please
bring a side dish and a dessert to share. We will meet in the worship
center. Let's get to know each other! Everyone is encouraged to attend.
As per our bylaws, only members may vote.
Q & A Sessions with Pastor Craig: Some of us have known Pastor Craig
for a number of years and others of us are fairly new and may not know
him as well. Either way, we invite you to an informal Q&A session with
Pastor Craig on either (or both) today at 4pm, or Tuesday, March 24th at
7pm. At the opening of each session, Pastor Craig will discuss his vision
for Ridgeline and where he believes God is leading, and then we will have
an open Q&A time. Come with questions or words or encouragement!
Good Friday Multi-Church Service Mark your calendars now for a multichurch Good Friday service. Ridgeline will be joining with Faith Lutheran,
Restoration Church and Front Range Christian Church at 6:30pm on Fri,
Apr 3rd to remember the sacrifice of Jesus and to prepare ourselves for the
celebration of His resurrection that Easter Sunday. The service will take
place outside on the Ridgeline field, weather permitting, or inside the
Ridgeline sanctuary if necessary. Plan on joining us for this special event!
Boxes for Mavuno Market: The Stuckys will soon be moving to the
mountains to start a new beginning. They were the movement behind
collecting cereal boxes for Haiti. It costs $60 to mail a box from here to
Michigan, then on a container to Haiti. We are looking for someone to take
over the collecting and shipping of the boxes. Please contact Lisa Stucky
or visit www.mavunomarket.org/cereal-boxes-for-haiti.
Men of Ridgeline, Are you looking to get involved with a group of guys
with similar interests? If yes, then we have some fun opportunities! First,
we are looking for a few men interested in joining our Ridgeline Men's
Softball team (contact Ryan King, [email protected]) and/or our
Ridgeline Men's Flag football team (contact Eric Sonnentag,
[email protected]). We also want to give some more opportunities
to get plugged in other areas. If you could fill out the form linked to
www.tinyurl.com/RidgelineMen, we can get a database of what you like to
do and compile great resources for our community of men. We hope to
hear from you!
Ministry Openings We have a number of open ministry opportunities at
Ridgeline, including several volunteer positions like video / sound tech,

Corporate Prayer Time Please join us on Sunday mornings at 7:45-8:40
in the church library to pray for those ministering at Ridgeline, as well as
those attending, and for our community, our town and our country. We are
living in difficult times—times that require us to diligently “seek God’s face”
in order to be the people and church He calls us to be. Let us therefore
come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and grace to
help in time of need, Heb. 4:16.
All Church Clean-Up Day Apr 4 at 8:00am. Put this on your radar! We
will be having an All Church Clean-up Day to spruce up, clean up, fix up,
sparkle up, all areas of the church, inside and out, for our Easter Sunday
Services. We will have a check list of items for young and old, guys and
gals. More info to follow.

“When Light Comes”
Mark 1:21-28
Craig Smith
Membership News: According to the church bylaws, the procedures for becoming
a new member include the following, (ARTICLE IV, Sect. 1, Item 5):
"When the Board of Elders is confident of the applicant's faith in Christ,
assurance of salvation, desire to live the Christian life, and willingness to submit
to the fellowship and discipline of this church, the Board of Elders shall then
promulgate the names of candidates for two weeks in the weekly bulletin. Any
member of the church objecting must give to an elder written justification in
accordance with the Word of God and these Articles of incorporation why a
candidate should not be accepted into membership. Taking these objections into
consideration, the Board of Elders shall then vote on whether or not to accept the
candidates into membership of this church."
In accordance with the above, let it be known that Eric Sonnentag & Kalyn Davey
and Gary & Jill Herr have expressed their interest in becoming members of
Ridgeline. Concerns regarding their application should be addressed in writing to
the Board of Elders.

This Week’s Scripture - Mark 1:14-20 (NIV)
Jesus Drives Out an Impure Spirit
21 They went to Capernaum, and when the Sabbath came, Jesus went
into the synagogue and began to teach. 22 The people were amazed at
his teaching, because he taught them as one who had authority, not as
the teachers of the law. 23 Just then a man in their synagogue who was
possessed by an impure spirit cried out, 24 “What do you want with us,
Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—
the Holy One of God!”
25 “Be quiet!” said Jesus sternly. “Come out of him!” 26 The impure spirit
shook the man violently and came out of him with a shriek.
27 The people were all so amazed that they asked each other, “What is
this? A new teaching—and with authority! He even gives orders to
impure spirits and they obey him.” 28 News about him spread quickly
over the whole region of Galilee.
