Lake Deaton Happenings - June 24 Through June 30

Accompanying our Summer Sermon Series will be our Summer Study and this year we are doing things a little different. Usually our Summer Study is an email study. However, this last year we have missed many opportunities to gather together to eat and fellowship with each other.

Because of this, we decided that this summer would be a wonderful time for us to re-gather and re-form our relationship with each other over meals and study. We invite you all to prayerfully consider signing up for our Summer Grow Study: Come Let Us Worship! We will be spending seven weeks EATING and exploring different themes that intersect with worship in one way or another.

We will kick off this study on Wednesday, July 7 at 5pm with dinner and then Pastor Loida will lead us in a lesson on "What’s so Special About Sacraments?" You can visit our website to see more about Summer Grow and to sign up for the meals and study. We hope to see you this summer on the weekend and Wednesday as we all re-gather together.
