Sunday Reflections
Yesterday was an amazing Sunday! The summer crowd is beginning to come back to church, and we heard some amazing stories from our Peru mission team. I’m super pumped about our church – and the desire that many of our folks are having to go on a mission trip. What is most intriguing is that many folks started to the “Give and Go’”challenge – and that was awesome.
If you missed yesterday – here are some highlights:
1) Our Peru mission team rocked. Special thanks to all of those who shared about their experience. Please pray for us as we begin to plan for our 2010-2011 mission trips.
2) Started “Q and A” yesterday! Tackled a huge topic “Why do bad things happen to good people.” We learned from Luke 13:1-5 that there is no such thing as a “good” person and because we live in a “fallen” world – bad things will happen. Ultimately Christ conquers all of this and brings hope to us all. Make sure to be there this Sunday as we deal with “Godly grief.”
3) “Give and Go” started this week. We want to invite 20,000 – 30,000 people to our August sermon series (Finding Purpose) – which will cost about $2500. We’re challenging people to give $10-$50 so that we can spread the word through direct mailers and invite five (5) friends to our August 7 worship service.
4) Thanks so much for coming to our church wide cookout – it was a blast. I’ve never been to a church cookout where the “Black-eyed Peas” were a group not a food, and line dancing was an activity not a put down! Our church rocks – it was awesome! Sarah Beth and I loved having you all at our home.
Great things are happening at our church – it is awesome! Please continue to give, go and grow – have a great week!
