Important Info: 

• What is Family Weekend? - Keep September 24-26 open on your calendar for the 1st Annual Family Weekend. We’re still working out the finer details, but here is the gist: On Friday, couples will come to dinner and hear a message from Pastor Ben about marriage. Limited childcare will be provided (more to come). On Saturday, the men will hear a message on marriage in the early morning and the women in the late morning. Then on Sunday, we will have a church-wide picnic where families can eat, play games, and fellowship with the church. Save the date! This is going to be a really fun and encouraging weekend.

• Guest Preacher This Sunday! - Pastor Kent Dresdow is coming to town. He is the Senior Pastor of NorthCreek Church in Walnut Creek California. Please be praying for Pastor Kent as he travels here to bless us with a teaching from the Word of God! See his application questions below.

• Put the Men’s Event on the Radar - The final session of our Be Prepared series is coming up in a few weeks. It would be great to get huge participation from the men for this final Saturday of the Summer. The message is about being prepared for the return of Christ and I think it will create some great group discussions.

  • Here’s a template message you can send to the men in your group if you’d like to use it!

    • Men, the next Be Prepared Men’s Event is coming up on August 28th. This is the last of the series and it’s all about being prepared for Christ’s return. It would be great if we could get the whole group to go to this final Saturday of the series. You can register here: https://compassbibletv.churchcenter.com/registrations/events/925016
