God can make us ALL Superhero's!

It's back!!!  

The SUMMER SERMON SERIES!

Popcorn will be available at all services.  I'll have cups and popcorn at the front desk.  
For the Saturday service team, please fill the cups with popcorn before service and put the cups up on the counter for people to grab.  Please have one person available behind the counter as our 'concessions' person....to make sure there is popcorn available for everyone that wants some.

PLAYING THIS WEEK:    THE AVENGERS!




I think you'll all like this weeks message!  


THANK YOU to all of you that attended one of the Hospitality meetings this weekend!!!
I think we had great conversation and idea sharing!
I have already forwarded all your thoughts to the Pastors in this weeks meeting and we are going to work on implementing them.

COOKIES!!!!
As you know, each weekend we have our cookie table available on the front porch for fellowship.
Those cookies don't get there by themselves though.
We've had some very generous people donate cookies for that cause!
One HUGELY generous giver is WINN-DIXIE! 
They have given us THOUSANDS of cookies!
Hal Klopfer asked Winn Dixie to help us out...and they sure have!!!
THANK YOU HAL!

OPPORTUNITY

Each week Jerry Klopfer used to fill our cookie containers to put out on the weekend.  Jerry has taken some very needed time to take care of his health and will not be able to attend to the cookies anymore.
If you are available to come in anytime during the week and fill the cookie containers, please let me know.  It doesn't take very long, but is a very important job.  You could stop by and do it before or after meeting with your study group!  It's one of those little things that has a huge impact on our Ministry!

In this weekends meeting I showed a couple of short video's.  The first video I showed expresses the fear and misconceptions that some people have about going to Church...and why they can decide to just not go.....
As a Hospitality team we have to remember that some of the people walking towards our doors for the first time are thinking many of the things in this video.
Let's show them the TRUTH!  By doing that we can help them find a relationship with GOD.

REMEMBER THE STARFISH......

At the meeting this weekend we watched this movie and talked about how we really CAN make a difference!


This story is a modern day parable like the story in LUKE 15:4 about the one lost sheep.

Thanks for all you do!  You are part of a VERY important team.  You matter and you can make a HUGE difference in the life of this church and in the lives of each person you meet!


Have a wonderful weekend!
God Bless!
