The last days of summer....

Well...school has started for some and it will start this Monday for others.  Where did the summer go?  I hope you all had a fun filled summer.  We moved from our June movie sermon series...to our family cookout to various local youth missions and missions abroad.  This has been a full summer!

Regarding missions....please support our church missions by coming to a lunch and testimony after the 11:30 service, over at the Epic Center.  bring a potluck dish to share and hear reports from all of our recent missions launch team trips...including EPIC’s summer missions!  You'll get to hear about some wonderful experiences our missions team had!  Please also let people know and invite them to go. 

You'll see a few tables on the front porch this weekend.  The men will be encouraging sign ups for our SUCCESS THAT MATTERS CONFERENCE.

Invite all the men you know to get involved.  Invitations are on the counter in the lobby so be sure to share them with new people too. 

The ladies will be encouraging sign ups for the new Bible study sessions coming up

Experiencing God By Henry & Richard Blackaby & Claude King

God is inviting you to experience Him in an intimate love relationship through which He reveals to you His will, His ways and His work. When you recognize where God is working, you can join Him in what He is doing. Then you will experience God doing through YOU only what He can do.  Let everyone know they can register now on our website.
