Sunday Reflections
What an incredible Sunday! Our current teaching series “Q and A” has been tough to talk through – but a very important issue(s). I’m very excited about this Sunday as we tackle some of your tough questions. Please let us know if you have a “tough” questions by e-mailing us at questions@churchatriverhills.com. We’re going to do our best to address each of your questions – and they will be kept anonymous.
Since I got back from Peru – life has been a mixed with fatigue and excitement. Honestly I can feel my age a bit more because of all the traveling I’ve done in the last few weeks, but I’m excited about what is happening in the life of our church. Currently we’re working on our missions strategy for 2010-2011. It is our intention to make permanent relationships with the same people overseas – so we’re prayerfully working toward going back to Arequipa. We’re also working on potential trips to Romania, New Orleans and Africa. Our plan is to offer at least one trip stateside and two trips internationally. Begin to pray now about how God might use you.
This week was incredible – here are a few thoughts…
1) “Give and Go” is going great. We are over halfway to our goal – we will be sending out the mailers next week – hopefully 30,000. Also – don’t forget to invite five people to our August 7 worship service.
2) We baptized yesterday – always a joy – awesome!!!
3) We walked through “Godly Grief” – tough talk, but we can’t forget the main point: There is a hope that heals. The question for us is simple – are we willing to grieve?
4) Christ was willing to grieve – are we?
5) Psalm 42 gives us a great outline on how to grieve – sermons should be posted by the end of the week.
Cannot wait until Sunday – it is going to rock out. Also – please get involved in a small group – they are coming up soon! Have a great week.
