I have a question for you. How are you approaching the month of July? Is July a time of relaxation and getting away to spend with family, busy schedules, or is just another month on your calendar? I believe that July is a month of opportunities for us as individuals and as a church family. During July we will undertake one of the greatest tools to share the gospel that we have. That tool is Vacation Bible School. I have been so encouraged to see our leaders prepare for this special week. Over the years God has blessed our church with precious children who come hungry to hear the message of Jesus Christ. I must say that makes my heart swell with hope and anticipation for what God will do.
Also, during the month of July our church makes a special effort to encourage our church family as well. These events are not just for our people but for them to invite others to our family because a family that doesn’t grow, dies. If you look at our Summer Nights Alive Praise schedule, you will see opportunities for fellowship and to share the gospel in exciting ways! You could invite someone to our movie night to see the blockbuster hit, “I Can Only Imagine” based off the true story of Bart Millard who is the lead singer for Mercy Me. This movie has received rave reviews from church and secular sources alike. This story of God's grace, favor, and redemption is something that everyone needs to see! I pray you have a great summer and that God would use you and the church for His Glory.
In Him,
Pastor James
