Greetings Church family in Jesus’ name,
 
We had an absolutely glorious outdoor worship Sunday August 2nd!! It was 71 degrees, breezy and our second highest outdoor attendance yet! We also had a fantastic response to our Backpack Attack donation drive! Thank you all for your help! Again, we will be out doors at least one more week (August 9th) as we watch the individual day numbers of new cases in Jackson county. We delayed our return indoors for Sunday services because of spiking numbers last week. Keep your eyes and ears open for church emails and phone calls and we will keep you informed!
 
Please pray over back to Church Sunday! This September 20th is nation-wide Back to Church Sunday, and we want to encourage you right now to be thinking about who all you are going to invite back to Church! We understand that many will choose to remain home during the pandemic until the all clear is given, so we are not just inviting people back to church in person, but online as well! Whichever folks feel more comfortable with. In 2020, maybe more than any other year, many have fallen out of the habit of worshipping Jesus on Sunday. Now is the perfect time to invite them back!
 
Also, as we look toward fall, we ask you to consider hosting or joining one of our new Wes Groups! This is a safe, flexible, high-level discipleship platform that we are putting together which we trust will be a faithful, spirit-filled response to the discipleship needs of our time. We also anticipate this being an effective, easy way to invite visitors to get connected to the life of our church! We are still in final development and we hope to launch in October, but in the meantime, please contact Pastor Danny if you are interested in hosting a group! More details to follow!
 
REMEMBER: We will celebrate Holy Communion together this Thursday (August 6th) at 5:15PM! Please have your elements respectfully set aside (any bread or cracker along with any juice or water may be used), then simply join the live stream on Facebook.
 
One more fun thing, we have registered with Rural King to participate in a fundraiser for local religious organizations that they are running through August 15th. By going to the following link after you shop at Rural King until Aug 15th, 10% of what you spend will go to our church! Shop, then click here: https://www.ruralking.com/churchweek
