We are excited to announce that Shoreline’s Single Adult Ministries is in the planning stages of re-launching our ministry this Fall! We are currently looking for additional leaders who will bring new ideas to our ministry. Among these leaders, we hope to find both couples and singles willing to serve so that this ministry can be more effective in our outreach to single adults.
We are open to suggestions as we gear up for the fall, so please send us your input or let us know if you are interested in serving in one of our leadership roles by contacting Dave Hopkins or call 831.655.0100, x303.

With growth and new seasons, there comes the need for involvement and ownership. We are seeking new group leader candidates with over one year of God’s healing in the following areas: afflicted by addicted loved ones, anxiety and anger, female chemical and substance related addictions, sexual addictions, and co-dependency. Also, we are looking for those with a servant’s heart to help with set-up, food service, and greeting (for both Tuesday and Friday nights). Come and join the Celebrate Recovery team- be a part of the Eternal Miracle that God is working through His people.
I truly love being a part of this great Christ-centered program. Thanks to all of you and the work God is doing through you- it is working. This will be a true season of change that will effect Eternity!
Please email us at celebraterecovery@shorelinechurch.org or give me a call for more details at 831.655.0100.
On behalf of the entire Celebrate Recovery team,
Pastor Dave Hopkins

Parenting Tip

It’s Hard to Raise a Leader
Some children are born leaders. They want to control their parents, their siblings, their friends, and even people they don’t know. They have their own agenda and want everyone else to know what it is and how to fit into it. Leaders can be a real blessing in life but they sure are hard to raise.
One of the greatest gifts you can give to your budding leader is the ability to follow. To follow means listening to the needs and desires of others, submitting to someone else’s agenda, and learning how to work cooperatively on a team. All good leaders need to know how and when to follow.
Although you will nurture the leadership gifts your child possesses, it’s also your job to teach him or her how to work with others. The weaknesses of young leaders are demonstrated in negative ways like arguing, badgering, and being demanding or angry.
Don’t just brush off these weaknesses as inevitable. Take time to correct, but do it in a way that appreciates the child’s gifts. “Karen, I can tell you’re going to be a good leader someday, but remember that leaders think about the needs of others.” Or, “Jim, I like the way you take initiative with your brother. Remember, though, that a good leader is also a good listener.”
If you guide the development of your young leader you’ll not only make family life easier now, but you’ll also benefit many other followers down the road. Your hard work will be worth it in the end.
