Camp Compass Praise!
We had over 525 kids attend Camp Compass this year! The missions goal was to raise $10,000 for a new school in Pakistan. Not only did we reach that goal, we more than doubled it by raising $20,144! All glory be to God!
“Build My Church” Commitments
On Sunday, July 6th we will be announcing some exciting updates in light of all the commitments we’ve received to-date! We will be sharing about the commitments in all three areas we asked everyone to consider (Pray, Invest, Work). If you haven’t filled out a commitment card yet please fill out a physical card or digital form by the end of this weekend. Even if you’re unsure of your ability to make a long-term commitment, please do your best to commit to something in each category (we understand if your situation changes at some point in the next three years). We are all approaching the next three years prayerfully and with excitement for what the Lord will do!
Expectations For Summer Life Groups
I (Pastor Charlie) want to remind the Life Group leaders that, although the Summer might include a lighter schedule, we would like Life Groups to continue meeting. In other words, please don’t take the entire Summer off. Use this time to meet sporadically and increase the fellowship gatherings when possible. Fellowships can be something as simple as meeting at a park or doing something social together as a Life Group. A lot of groups take the month of August off to gear up for the fall, which is understandable given the church calendar and the rhythm of the other church ministries. But please find ways to connect and meet in July, even if it’s for just a few gatherings. The Adventure Club Life Groups have the remaining Kids Summer Series meetings as follows:
Tuesdays: July 1, July 8, July 22.
Thursdays: July 3, July 10, July 24.
I am so grateful for all the hard work that you put in as a Life Group leader! Thank you for continuing to care for the people in your group in such a big way. If you have any questions about the Summer or the schedule please don’t hesitate to reach out!
Sunday’s Sermon:
Grateful for Grace
1 Timothy 1:12-17
Read Psalm 100:1-3. How should remembering that we do not deserve the privilege of serving God help us to have attitudes like the one seen in this Psalm?
Read 1 Timothy 1:13-14. How would you describe the before & after of your own conversion to Christ? Why is it important to remember that this change is completely the result of grace?
Read Ephesians 2:1-7. Why is it important to remember that we needed more than “a little help” in our salvation? Why should we remember that we were dead and Christ made us alive? What difference should that make in our attitudes in the Christian life?
Read 1 Corinthians 15:8-9. Who are some people or types of people that you might think of as unlikely to get saved? How should Paul’s testimony influence the way you think and act toward them?
Read 1 Timothy 1:17. Write out your own doxology of worship to God as you consider his great salvation!
