Greetings Lake Deaton Family,
It is hard to believe how quickly October is flying by. It seems like we just started our October Invite emphasis, and now we are already half way through the month. This coming week will be our Oktoberfest Open House and I am hopeful that you have invited friends and neighbors to come and be introduced to our church.
This time is all about hospitality, welcoming new people into our facilities to show Christ's love to them and hopefully reveal that this is a safe (and fun) place to come and work through the spiritual questions that many have as they continue through life.
With this in mind, my hope is that a lot of you will be at the Oktoberfest to walk around and greet people, engaging them in conversation and wholeheartedly welcoming them. I also want to encourage everyone to wear your name badge!
If we remember that this event is about the guests who will come through our door and that our hearts are focused on going out of the way to welcome them, I believe we can make a Kingdom difference in our community from just the two to three hours of this fun event.
I can’t wait to meet the new people God will bring our way as we join to celebrate our neighbors through this Oktoberfest Open House.
Blessings,
