Dear Church Family,

The new ’18-19 ministry year is about to begin. Let me express some of my personal hopes and prayers…

#1: I pray our small groups truly become a family of disciples, serving together, and engaged on mission together. (If you are not in a group, click here Small Group_Info for a list of the various groups that are launching after Labor Day).

#2: I pray young and old would treasure the Scriptures together through our Sunday School curriculum, The Gospel Project. Every class will be studying the same passage during our 11AM Sunday School hour. Parents in particular, would you commit to studying the passages in your homes leading up to the class? Would we all pray for our Sunday School teachers and helpers?  Click here for the Sunday School schedule and the passages 2018_Fall_SundaySchool.

   If you need some encouragement regarding our need to have more “God Talk” in our homes, here is a great article from The Gospel Coalition: https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/god-talk-family-life/

#3: I pray that the youth of our church would be 1 Timothy 4:12 people, setting an example to all in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity. Join me in praying for Michael Beigl

er and his team of volunteers who serve 7PM Wednesday nights, as well as Alex Steele, Lisa Weber, Rob Taylor, and Michael Biegler who invest in the lives of our students on Sunday mornings too!

I hope you can stay for our Potluck Meal this Sunday. There will be opportunities to sign up and get more information on our ministries and opportunities to serve.

All because of Jesus,

Matt
