Maybe we all should treat others the way we would like to be treated? Maybe encourage one another and strengthen one another instead of tearing one another apart? I would vote for a real politician like that.

Quote of the Day - Pastor Mike Olive
As posted on Omari Hardy's Facebook page regarding his cat fight at the city commission meeting this past Tuesday with Mayor Pam Triolo
"Real mayors have real feelings. Real mayors have loved ones. Real mayors have emotions. Real mayors are human. Real mayors have a job. Real mayors are not perfect. Real mayors are people.
Maybe we all should treat others the way we would like to be treated? Maybe encourage one another and strengthen one another instead of tearing one another apart? I would vote for a real politician like that.

Common Ground Church first services at new church
1201 South Federal Highway
Common Ground Church Lake Worth
will have its first service in its new location this morning at 10am
Happy New Years 2020 is going to be amazing, says Pastor Mike on the Common Ground Facebook page.
Pastor Mike Olive
Praise report from Pastor Mike: "We were able to get our final for the building on December 31! This means that we will be having services there this Sunday at 10 AM. No service in the coffee shop in the evening. The address is 1201 South Federal Highway, Lake Worth beach. Please come celebrate with us and spread the word."
I drove down there yesterday and got a tour of the new facility by Pastor Mike. There is still a lot of work yet to be done but they are on their way to an exciting future where Common Ground not only will have church services but will have a pastry shop where they will have their famous Common Ground Coffee. There are a lot of plans for the future and everyone is working diligently for the Grand Opening on Easter Sunday, April 12.
Kelly Olive will continue with music lessons

Common Ground Church reached out to help Lake Worth woman
Why are there so many mean people today? Is it a break from God and the church? Are people so unable to find their way and have lost their humanity?
This local resident had all four tires slashed. She reached out to her pastor, Mike Olive, who posted it on Facebook. He and others in the community reached out and helped.

Lake Worth Pastor helping Refugees
Pastor Mike Olive of Lake Worth's Common Ground Church has been traveling and doing outreach, finding Common Ground with those in Belgium, Bulgaria, Macedonia and Albania. He is most concerned about the refugee crisis--Syria has been hit the hardest.
The last I heard he was in Macedonia. He has asked for your help to raise money to buy 20 cell phones ($100 each) to give to refugees to help them find their families. “The need is so great,” Olive said. “It’s a human crisis that needs a human response.”
If you care to help in this worthwhile cause, Click here to donate.

Tuesday's Commission Meeting
Other than pastor Mike Olive giving the invocation, there is nothing whatsoever going on at Tuesday night's meeting. We will get to hear the PBSO report probably telling us that crime is on the decline
This is what is on the Consent Agenda:
1. Palm Beach is spending a small fortune to underground its utility lines. They want two sections of our beach to erect transformers in order to complete their project. The Utility Easements require the Town of Palm Beach to maintain the Easement Areas and all equipment located therein, including appropriate landscape screening of any visible equipment. And we're going to be good neighbors and give them the easements.
2. The Task Order with Rosso Site Development, Inc. authorizes the re-paving and striping of the dilapidated parking lot at 1749 3rd Ave South in an amount not to exceed $50,000.
3. We will be replacing two vehicles in the Refuse Department that have 100,000 miles on them with two new vehicles costing $74,000 with a six year warranty.
4. The code compliance Department added a new employee thus a new vehicle is needed: 2017 GMC Terrain purchased from Garber Automall, an approved vendor from the State of Florida’s Dept. of Management Services purchase agreement, for a cost not to exceed $26,600.
5. The City is authorizing the taxpayers pay for the "free lunch. Authorized City of Lake Worth public purpose food and refreshment purchases include, but are not limited to, the following: . Community-oriented events, meetings and workshops; Special events, camps and programs; . Economic development special meetings and workshops; and . Employee related activities.
6. The city has planned for a Plans Reviewer/Inspector for the Building Division but can't find anyone qualified. The city manager wants to hire Hy-Byrd and this requires an amendment to allow for an additional expenditure of $35,000 for a total fiscal year amount of up to $80,000 for plans review and inspection services for Fiscal Year 2017. Remember, this Trio already increased the city manager authority to do what he wants up to $25,000.
We will have a new Benefits Broker. The one we have been using is located in Seattle, Washington.

A great thought for a Sunday and every day of the week. Not holding grudges is good advice. Many of us have a tendency to do that in this city especially when it comes to politics particularly local elections. It's easy to say, "I can't stand that person." We all can be guilty of that when it comes to passionate issues in this city that we all love.
But as Pastor Mike Olive would say, "Love not Hate" and that's great advice for us all.

Pastor Mike Olive of Common Ground Church will give invocation at City Commission Meeting
Comment Up
Not only did the city use the wrong date of the city commission meeting on its web site (Jan 6 when it should read Jan 5), apparently the Invocation as printed is in error as well:
2. INVOCATION OR MOMENT OF SILENCE: Offered by Pastor Kris Vos, Sunlight Community
Church, on behalf of Mayor Pam Triolo. This is incorrect and the city has now corrected the name of the invocation pastor.
CORRECTION:

A Testament -
I had to republish this from Facebook--it is just too honest and powerful to ignore--
Nick Jenkins to Mike Olive
CWB
[ does anyone need to know who that is?] wants you to think you're doing something wrong, attending a church that
just happens to be in a club setting. A LOT of AA/NA areas were founded
in those same type settings. If God wanted us to do easy work he would
have built more churches on corners than liquor stores, gun shops and
adult venues...but He didn't, because salvation isn't something you can
flip a coin and say I'm going to do the right thing and this is what I
want today.
In AA/NA we learn today is a new day and I will take it as it comes (not to knock it, I still have my AA/NA books on my shelf), but accepting Jesus is to rebuke the devil in every form, give up you life in this world as we know it and give praise and worship to the true structure in where we lay our feet and foundation for this life, not in this world but in his kingdom, evermore.
Honestly, I LOVE going to the Bamboo Room, watching Pastor Mike and the choir on stage, with my back to those curtains.. hiding the booze. Its both a physical and spiritual movement forward up and away from that where we first stepped foot. Its kinda eerie. As you walk up those steps, man I hate those steps... I think there's 12 or so.. lol.. and you get to the top to be greeted by fellowship. You sit down, with your back to the things that brought most of us here!?!?!?!
GOD IS GOD! CANT EVEN SAY GREAT, HE IS GOD!

Meet Hope
Comment Up
A Christian’s definition of hope is far superior to that of the world. Instead of wishing or hoping for something to happen, a believer knows that their hope is solid, concrete evidence because it is grounded in the Word of God and we know that God cannot lie (Heb 6:18; Num 23:19).

“We’re not a traditional church and don’t want to be one. We
want to be where the people are and that’s why we’re in downtown Lake
Worth. There’s some brokenness here and we want to help people who need
it.”
~ Pastor Mike Olive, Common Ground Church
Read the PB Post article....
Lake Worth City Manager, Mike Bornstein said, “It was a misunderstanding that got politicized and generated some confusion,” when talking about churches needing a special permit. Now the bully blogger and his sidekick can calm down, apologize and maybe even come on down for a little love and of course that invitation for a cup of coffee at Common Ground Coffee Bar.

Did prayer help the Miami Dolphins?
Pastor Mike Olive of the Common Ground Church in Lake Worth, wearing his number 17 Miami Dolphins shirt worn by quarterback Ryan Tannehill, got his wish this morning--
Miami beat the Redskins 17/10 and Tannehill finished 22-for-34 passing for 225 yards and a touchdown.

"Peace" cup offered to Blackman and Parrilla
Comment Up
You all have heard of a Peace Pipe but this is a Peace Cup offered to two individuals who continually attack pastor Mike Olive and his church as well as those who attend. Hope that they both take him up on the coffee clutch at the Common Grounds Coffee Bar. Everyone needs a little spiritual help in their lives not to mention a good cup of java.

What a wonderful movie this was...a wake up call for many of us. There are many spiritual movies on the horizon through January 2016 probably due to the anti-Christian movement going on here and abroad. It will be interesting to see if any top this one and its message.
We all certainly don't agree on many things but one thing that we can agree on is the intensity of the anti-Christian hatred in parts of the world. Even Global leaders, including our own president, have not stepped forward to speak out strongly enough against this rising persecution and atrocities of ISIS and its mass slaughter and beheading of Christians. Here at home, gay activists are out to destroy anyone who will not accept gay marriage and the church is a target.
This movie will give you inspiration and hope and confirm Pastor Mike Olive's message of "love, not hate," and the power of prayer that works for all of us.

Even the Piano is about Love
At the Common Ground Church, even the music is about God's love. This is the piano at the Common Ground Church on S. J Street in Lake Worth. Church goers wrote inscriptions of love on it.
Soon the church will be moving services to the Bamboo Room as they have grown out of their present space. They will make an announcement on the date in the very near future. In the meantime, come on down and hear an awe inspiring pastor preach love, not hate.

Common Ground Church will be Moving
Comment Up
Common Ground Church is still praying for folks--praying for the City of Lake Worth and a few special people who have been less than kind towards them or towards others. We can all fit into one or two of those categories from time to time. Hopefully we all will soon see the light and feel the love, not hate.

After
the storm passed there was a rainbow, a promise. Common Ground Church
is moving across the street to The Bamboo Room on Sunday mornings. More
details coming soon.
