“But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and

not be faint.” Isaiah 40:31 I grew up watching reruns of the Andy Griffith Show. I was glued to the black and white sitcom every time it lit up my television set. Still today, I have a hard time scrolling past it when I’m flipping through the channels. I almost always find myself pausing a least for a moment to watch a bit of the May-berry Sheriff and his one bullet depu-ty. So I, like millions of others, was a bit saddened to hear that the star of the show passed away a few weeks ago. In honor of the passing of this Ameri-can icon, Andy Griffith, allow me to recount one of my favorite Andy Grif-fith episodes. In my opinion this par-ticular show is chocked full of lessons on parenting, failure, responsibility, and redemption. In the episode little Opie had a new sling shot. He takes target practice at everything in sight. He hears a nest of birds takes aim and inadvertently kills the mother bird. Opie’s offense leaves three little chicks without the care of their mother. Andy masterful-ly harnesses his anger. He requires re-sponsibility from his son. The boy must become a sort of surrogate parent for orphaned Winkin’, Blinkin’ and Nod.’ Emotional attachment develops as Opie cares for the needy birds. He

does a good job raising them. They eventually out grow the cage and need to be released. The pivotal moment arrives. Opie, in order to fulfill his role as loving parent must let them go. Pass or Fail. They will fly or fall. The cage door is opened and one by one the chicks are released. They each fly away. Winkin’, Blink-in’, and Nod’ soar from the cage to the tree top. Perched high above they sing a new song. Opie grieving-ly looks back at the empty cage, turns to his Dad and frets, “Paw, the cage looks awfully empty.” And Andy Taylor, ‘Paw’ to millions delivers one of the most profound lines in the history of television when he replies, “Yes, but aren’t the trees nice and full.” That episode captures the pain and satisfaction of letting go. We know that letting go is a normal yet diffi-cult part of life. All growth requires taking the risky journey from places of safety to new heights. Honestly, it’s some times even more frighten-ing to watch those we love take this journey. But we can never let comfort become the cage that iso-lates others (or us) from God’s abundance. Be encouraged today child of God to go, soar, and sing…triumphantly! Pastor Terry

The Bayside Beacon

A Lesson in Letting Go from the Andy Griffith Show

  The Bayside Beacon 

In a few days the Games of the XXX Olympiad will begin. We will watch young Olympians compete at the highest level. Young athletes we’ve never heard of before, with success in their disciplines, will become household names. Yet, what we know is that these overnight successes have been years, some-times decades in the making. Countless hours of training and preparation has gone in to ready them for peak performance in their “moment.”

That moment for some will begin with fingertips on a starting line, for some toes on the edge of a diving board, for others hands raised on the corner of a gymnastics mat. With the pride and support of their homeland, each individual’s ability will be on display for the World to observe. It will be their moment to shine. Everything they have worked for will matter in that mo-

ment.

As Christians we resonate deeply with such Olympic themes as training, perseverance, honor and victory because we too are in a great competition. Our Apostolic trainer, St. Paul called on the themes of sport to inspire and instruct Christ-followers toward the worthy prize of godliness and the ultimate reward of heaven. God’s Word teaches us that now is our time to shine. “Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky…” (Phil 2:15).

On August 5th we will be starting a sermon series through the book of Philippians. Philippians is a training guide for how we can compete with joy at the highest level. Join as at Bayside as we seek to apply its principles and win the most important prize of life…and have fun doing it!

August 5 Finish What You Start / Philippians 1:1-11

August 12 Live Up To the Hype / Philippians 1:12-29

August 19 Be Remarkable / Philippians 2:1-11

August 26 Time to Shine / Philippians 2:12-21

September 2 Understand the Scoring System / Philippians 3:1-11

September 9 Dig Deep / Philippians 3:12-21

We’ve  all  heard  the  popular  proverbs  “Give  a  hand up, not a hand out” or the ever popular “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a  life me”.     By the way, many Chris ans mistakenly assume that the second is from the Bible, but  it  is actually an ancient Chinese prov‐erb.   While both of  these proverbs  sound great,  like 

most  things  in  life, are a  lot easier  in  theory  than  in prac ce.   This,  I have  to admit,  is probably  the most difficult aspect of  serving on  the Missions Commi ee.   Some mes I try to  imagine what Jesus would do if  he were  on  the Missions  Commi ee.   What missionaries and charity organiza ons would He support  and which ones would he dismiss?    To whom would He grant a fish and to whom would He  lovingly give a fishing pole?  If only  the Bible gave  us  some  examples  of  when  Jesus  denied someone charity,  than we would have a Biblical model of when to say “Sorry, but no.” 

These are the challenges that each commi ee member are faced with every month.    I  share  this  challenge with  you not because we desire your empathy or a pat on the back, but to let you know how much we covet your prayers.   Please pray for discernment and wisdom and that the decisions made by our commi ee embody the love of Christ.

IYCDenver/HighSchoolMissionsTrip

  The Bayside Beacon 

Bayside, First off I just want to say how awesome this summer has been. I can truthfully say it has been one of the most ful-filling experiences I have ever had. God has truly blessed my time here with all of you incredible people. From the days in the of-fice, to the Saturday hang-outs with students, to the many trips we took, there has never been a dull moment, and I’ll never forget my time here. I have learned and experienced so much, and I am so excited to continue my ministry, even though it means parting with Bayside.

I’m not being dramatic when I say it will be very hard for me to leave this place. I’ve never felt so at home with a group of people as much as I do here, and I attribute that to all of you. So many of you have gone out of your way to make me feel wel-come, and you did it well. I love this congregation and the hearts that you all have. I’m so excited for all of you, with Pastor Terry now here and ready to start a new season in Bayside’s life. I see even greater things in Bayside’s future and I am so excited to hear about them! There are so many things that I could say, but I can easily sum it up with this, I love you guys and appreciate you so much. My prayer is that you would continue to rise up leaders in your church and empower them the way you did me. The knowledge and experience I’ve received this summer will be inval-uable in the years to come, and I am forever grateful. Thank you so much for everything! -Caleb Buyer Summer Intern 2012 Bayside, Wow! This summer has gone by so fast and I can’t believe it's already that time to say good-bye. I just wanted to say thank you for everything that you have done for me and eve-rything you have done to make me feel so welcomed. You all have been nothing but supportive and kind and I really do appreciate all the help that you have given us this summer. It's been a blessing meeting so many generous and serving people and I will never forget any of you. Although I will be leaving, I will always keep Bayside Church in my heart, and I hope to always be in yours. Thank you for all the prayers and encouragement this summer.

I have learned so much while I was here; from organiza-tion skills, preparing a talk for The Gathering, planning skills, responsibility, working with others, communication skills, building relationships, and so much more. God has re-molded my heart and has been with me every step of the way this summer. Without Him my heart would not have come out stronger than it was when starting this internship. I will never forget the memories made this summer and the people that walked through this jour-ney with me. Thank you Chip, Cody, Zach, Lori, Caleb, and all the Bayside Students for making this summer unforgettable, teaching me so much, and changing my life. Thank you Bayside for your support and bighearts, thank you to my boyfriend, friends, and family for motivating me, being here for me, and always being my number one fans. I love you Bayside and I will miss you very much! With Love, Myrtle Agoncillo

My Least Favorite Newsletter Ever In the past three years there have been many times where I haven’t been the biggest fan of writing newsletters, but there has never been a time where I have been as opposed to writing one than right now! And the reason of such opposition is because this is my final newsletter as a Director of Student Ministries here at Bayside. As of August 12th my wife and I will be saying goodbye to our amazing friends and family and heading to the awesome city of Phoenix, Arizona.

As many of you know, serving here at Bayside is an amazing opportunity for any young man or woman trying to begin their career in ministry. It is a chance to learn the ropes of full-time ministry, so to speak. I have been completely blessed to have had three years here and to be able to serve such a great church community. You have wel-comed me, loved me, accepted me, helped shape me, prayed for me, and last but not least, allowed me to learn how to minister for the benefit of the kingdom of God.

As of August 12th Kristen and I will start our new exciting journey together in Arizona. Kristen will be pursuing a master’s degree in Human Rights and Social Justice at Arizona State University, where she will be continuing her dream to help fight the social injustice of human trafficking. And I will be answering God’s call by starting my own baseball ministry for kids and teens in the Greater Phoenix area. We are extremely excited about the doors that God is continuing to open up for us, and trying our best to listen to his leading daily.

I want to personally thank each one of you for everything that you have given Kristen and me. I also want to thank The Harbor—you guys have been my family since I was in eighth grade!! To the coaches, thank you for all your love and support and, most of all, your friendship. To the students of The Harbor, you are loved by Kristen and me be-yond belief. Please know that you are amazing students that have unbelievable potential to love your community like no other group of students ever has! Know that we will miss you like crazy, we are extremely thankful for you and PROUD of you, and we will always keep you in our hearts!

Finally, I want to thank the amazing people I got to partner and rub elbows with everyday. Harry, Emily, Sheila, Shawn, Molly, Carol, Jeanie, Heidi, Tracey, Anthony, Pastor Bates and Pastor Willoughby—I want to personally thank each one of you for your love, friendship, and partnership in ministry.

And now to the most amazing youth staff in the nation—Chip, Zach, and Lori! To Lori, thanks for always keeping the office light and fun to work in. Thanks for caring about Kristen and me beyond our job title. To Zach, thank you for being the best teammate and friend I could have ever asked for or ever hoped for. Your leadership has and will continue to do amazing things for the glory of God! I believe in you and know that God has called you to minster in a very unique and awesome way. To Chip and Lori Taylor, words can never express what you two mean to Kristen and me. Your lives have greatly affected Kristen’s and my relationship in the most amazing ways possible. Chip, I am so thankful for you and I love you as a father. Thank you for everything and for believing in Kristen and me. You have known me since I was in eighth grade and have meant the world to me since then. Your love and vision for this youth ministry has been captivating and inspiring. It was an honor to serve and learn under you and your leadership. Please know that I will miss all of you like crazy!

WE LOVE YOU ALL!!
