Summer Schedule!

I'm very excited that this coming Sunday we are beginning a four part sermon series that we're calling "Mission-tudes": Attitudes for a Missional Church!

As we move through the series we'll be looking at the mindsets we take to being FULLY ENGAGED in the work of SERVING our community and discern the ways that God can use us as individuals to accomplish His larger kingdom goals. How many of us are aware that our own "personal" healing is directly connected to the way we become poured out for others!

Summer certainly "heats-up" for many of our families. Schedules change and become busier for some as they make room for vacation, summer sports, seeing loved ones, and sometimes just plain relaxing! We encourage everyone to stay connected this summer by worshipping with us on Sundays! Your presence alone is a HUGE encouragement to people. Not to mention the words of life that are spoken as we minister to each other on Sunday mornings. Sunday is my favorite day of the week because I get to be with all of you!

Our summer Small Group schedule will change just a bit to give people time for some of the other activities they will have. Read the panel on the left to see what small groups and activities will be offered over the summer. For those who like the Sunday schedule best, John Gilbert continues his Sunday School class just before worship in our children's area. Jo Chilcutt is leading an exercise class on Tuesdays and Thursdays that can help you get into that bathing suit! Check out some of the other groups as well and find one that works for you!

Finally, think of someone that you know who would be a GREAT FIT for our church family and begin praying over how you might invite that person to join us on Sunday mornings! We've been blessed with an incredible, loving, nurturing (and increasingly missional!!) family of faith! Let's expand God's influence into the lives of others by leading friends into an encounter with Jesus through worship at Promise Church.

See you Sunday!
