Last week at church was a beautiful picture of what the Church is all about. It was a group of people who were saying I can use some encouragement, and a group of people coming around them to pray. It was a great response to what God is doing in the hearts of us, and what He is doing in the heart of our church. We will continue in Fall Kick Off this week. My idea of peppermint sticks in lemons has been shelved for some simpler fun snacks. It was our well-meaning attempt to bring “the fair” into our patio experience. Either way, we’ll have some fun, family-friendly activities this weekend.

If last week’s message of encouragement felt like it hit home, this week will probably feel similar. We’ll talk about what to do when we feel like we’re losing control in life and want to throw our hands up in the air and give up. The good news is God has something to say about that, and it may or may not surprise you.

A couple things to remember: Community Nights kick off in a of couple weeks; Men’s Breakfast is this Saturday and Mops and Women of Passion are kicking off as well. There is a lot going on, so I encourage you to find a way to get plugged in. I believe God will bless you in a mighty way.

Great doing life and ministry with you,

Jeff
