I believe we all love some sort of routine. Make no mistake, we will make adjustments when needed and even find new things to add to our days while dropping some activities along the way. But we like a sense of normal, not boring, but life without major surprises. When disruptions take place it causes us to find new normals and even new routines.

 
I believe the Church should always be on the move. I am not speaking about locations but destinations. Where are we going? What are we doing? Once we figure out where we need to go, how will we get there? The Bible is clear that God has a purpose for His people individually and corporately as His Church. Once we come to faith in Jesus, God puts alongside one another to help each other grow and become more and more like Jesus.

 
This August there will be great opportunities to do just that. On Wednesday nights at Midweek, beginning August 19th, we are offering D-up, a discipleship foundation that sets the bar for making disciples. The offerings have been mentioned in the announcements each Sunday and through our small group grapevines. The discipleship classes are: Jesus the Messiah, Son of God bible study – walking through the life and ministry of Christ chronologically, Re/Engage Marriage Ministry focusing on key issues that strengthen today’s marriages, Experiencing God – discover the seven key areas of experiencing God as He invites you to join Him in what He is doing, and Developing Leaders in the Church – instilling biblical leadership and convictions that fosters a “disciples-making-disciples” culture. Sign up in the church office.

 
With our new Wednesday ministry options, we have also moved our dinner to 4:30 to 5:30 with our discipleship ministry options going from 5:30 to 7:00 pm. I hope you will come and journey with us on Wednesdays. God is doing a new thing, at a new time, with new options.

 
Join me in praying for our students, teachers, administrators and all school personnel as school gets underway. We will be having a 48-hour prayer wall beginning on August 7th at 7:00 am and concluding on August 9th at 7:00 am. There will be a prayer guide distributed for those who sign up to cover an hour of praying. With all that has transpired and is going on around us, it is always time to pray. Join us as we spend time together in God’s presence, on our knees, on behalf of our community and schools.
