7 . 2 1 . 1 7       
Good morning everyone...

In case you have been living under a rock the last 7 weeks... we WILL NOT be having regular services this Sunday!  

Instead we will be connecting with God in 7 different ways as a congregation. The 7 pathways are:  1 -Intellectual Pathway, 2 -Relationship Pathway, 3 -Serving Pathway, 4 -Worship Pathway, 5 -Activist Pathway, 6 -Contemplation Pathway, 7 -Creation Pathway.

We are calling this Sunday Pathway Sunday. Registration for Pathway Sunday IS CLOSED, so if you did not get signed up we hope you will choose to join us on July 30th for our regular services at 9:30 and 11AM

For the rest of us that will be participating, please remember to give your regular tithes and offering this week. You can do that either online at DiscoveryGiveNow or by sending a check in the mail.  

And make sure you post pics on social media and tag Discovery and use the hashtag #PathwaySunday  I am excited to hear about your experiences!  

If you are interested in learning more about Spiritual Pathways, please consider reading one or both of the following books:

Soles4Souls Shoe Donation    
Sundays, Through August 6  
     
As we put ourselves in the shoes of people that encountered Jesus, we are also collecting some of your shoes for the organization Soles4Souls. They will use your donation to help provide relief and sustainable jobs around the world in places like Haiti, Honduras, and parts of Africa.  Drop off your new or used shoes in the box in our lobby, and we'll get them into the right hands...or, I guess, onto the right feet. Please contact Todd Ransom for additional information or questions. 
Summer Bible Study for Men
Tuesdays  *  7 PM

   
This summer the we will also be tackling the book of Daniel.  It's about keeping your identity despite all kinds of pressures in your environment.  From home life to workplace to the larger political or cultural atmosphere, Daniel shows us how to maintain our identity and faithfulness despite anything around us pushing us in every other direction. We'll meet on Tuesdays this summer through August 1st, from 7-8:30 pm, at the Regional Learning Alliance. Bring a Bible and a buddy.  To sign up, mark your "flap" on Sunday or contact Todd Ransom if you have questions.
Summer Study for Women
Wednesdays  *  7 PM

     
Daniel kept a detailed journal during a time when God's people were in captivity. This book helps us answer questions he had and we have: How is God faithful to his people? How can we be faithful to God, both personally and politically?  And what difference does it make?  We will meet on Wednesdays this summer through July 25th, from 7-8:30 pm, at the home of Debbie Harrington.  Bring a Bible and a friend.  To sign up, mark your "flap" on Sunday or contact   Debbie Harrington  if you have questions.

Discovery on Mission
  
One of the main goals of Journey Groups is to serve together to connect more and more people with Jesus.  Sometimes we say, we want to MOVE together.  While all Journey Groups engage in serving, this group is highly committed to consistently helping others throughout our community.  Each month we'll engage in different projects and objectives to serve others throughout the year in local missions each week.  If you would like to be a part of this group mark your "flap" on Sunday or if you have questions, please contact
Nick Ranjan . 
Infertility Support Group
      
Approximately 6-10% of married couples are infertile, meaning that they can't get or stay pregnant.  This statistic affects Christians and churchgoers, too. Infertility is lonely. If you find yourself in this group, we want you to know that you are loved and you are not alone.  Please consider joining our private group where frustration is met with friendship. If you think that you may benefit from hearing about similar experiences, sharing medical information, or being reminded that you are important apart from being someone's mom or dad, please contact Debbie Harrington or send her a private Facebook message.
Prayer Requests             
   
If you have a prayer request that you would like the prayer team to pray for,  please mark the "flap" on Sunday or email your request. Let us know f you would like your request to remain anonymous.  If you would like to be added to the list of people who receives and prays for requests each week, please email us and we will add you to the prayer updates.
