FELLOWSHIP AFTERWARDS

Farewell to Sunday evening, June 1, after evening service in the Fellowship HallEveryone is invited to say farewell to Rob, Sarah and Adelyn Long as they begin a new phase in life and ministry in Leander, TX. Join us Sunday, June 1, after the evening service for a farewell reception to honor the Longs. Rob has served as our Young Adults Minister since August 2008. In that time Rob and Sarah have ministered to a growing group of singles and young married couples in the congregation and community. Rob has also been actively involved in missions—leading last year’s mission trip to Haiti—and for the past few years, has preached in our rotation. Sarah just finished the school year as a second grade teacher at West Field Elementary in Edmond. Their daughter, Adelyn, was born last October. The Longs are moving to Leander, TX, where Rob will preach for the Leander Church of Christ. We will miss them, but we pray God’s blessings on the Longs as they continue to serve and work to build God’s kingdom.

We say farewell to the Longs wi th b i t tersweet feelings. We are sad they are leaving us, but we are proud of them and excited to see how God will use them to bless lives and build the Kingdom in their new ministry near Austin. Please join us tonight for our official farewell to our good friends.

I can’t believe summer is upon us! The summer months mean lots of activities, camps, and vacations for many of us. Throughout the next several weeks, as your schedules possibly change, please remember to walk in faithfulness wherever you go and whatever you do. Continue to spend time in God’s word and in prayer, worship, giving, and serving. God will likely provide new opportunities this summer for you to GO, CONNECT, and EMBRACE. Take advantage of every opportunity to embody and share the gospel with those around you. God may just be positioning you to have a major impact on others this summer.

Hope you’re enjoying our current sermon series—“Blind Spots” and “Open Mind.” Coming up in just a few weeks, we will explore what the Bible says about Heaven in a special sermon series. You won’t want to miss it (…Heaven or the series)!
