Invite Everyone, Invest In People, Impact Eternity

Don’t miss the conclusion of our current series by Dr. Rex Horne this Sunday. We are so thankful that Dr. Horne was able to be with us this month while Pastor John was on sabbatical. Join us as we look at the story of Jacob in Genesis 32.

7-UP: For Incoming 7th Graders and Their Parents Saturday, August 19th, 10:30-3:15

The time is quickly approaching for the transition from the Children’s Ministry to the Youth Ministry for a group of our students! If you are the parent of a soon-to-be 7th grader, you should have already received a letter a few months ago about 7-UP and another letter will be going out this week; if we somehow missed contacting you-please contact me (Bill) and I’ll get you all the info! This will be a time of seeing a snap-shot of the youth ministry, partnering our incoming youth with an older Sr High youth for the coming year, doing a parent orientation to the youth ministry and having lunch/fellowship time. There is no cost for this, but it would be very helpful to let me know you are coming so we can plan the food accordingly. If you are planning on coming and haven’t already let me know, please do so. Looking forward to a great year and a great 7-UP to get these new youth started off right!
