Children’s Ministry had a great response for volunteers. However, we are still in need of volunteers to fill the following positions:

2 & 3 year old teacher on Wednesday nights
Elementary helper on Wednesday nights
Volunteers to help in Preschool Children’s worship once a month
Volunteers to help in 2 year old worship once a month

Please volunteer so we can continue teaching these little ones about Jesus.

Adult Bible Classes
James Lawrence’s Bible class in 606 resumes 9 a.m. Sundays.

College and twenties age will be in Hall 1 starting September 7 at 9 a.m.

Class for 25-50 years old (single or married with children or without) will begin September 21. See below for plans for Sep 7 and 14 for this group.

Sunday Family Mixers
Sunday, September 7, 9-10 a.m., in the Mall; Sunday, September 14, 9-10 a.m. in the Mall. The purpose of these mixers is to gather those in the stage in life roughly between 25-50 years old, both singles and married, with kids and without to get to know one another and discuss possible Sunday morning classes, new small group formations, and how this group can serve together on Wednesday nights during meals or in greeting or other ministry areas.

Small Group Questions
  • Read Matthew 4:12-25. What strikes you about this passage? Why do you think it is important to read this passage before studying the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7)?
  • How much time have you spent studying the Sermon on the Mount in the past? How does it make you feel when you read through it?
  • Right now, would you characterize yourself as a “disciple” of Jesus who is actively trying to follow him and do what he says or are you more a member of the “crowd,” amazed by his words and actions, but still not sure what to do with him?
  • How can we pray for you?

Moms in Touch
Start the school year off right by gathering with other moms to pray for your children’s school and each others’ children. Find out about Moms in Touch. Call Phyllis Fields (747-8915) or Annie Mileur (627-4544).

August Freeze
We'd love your feedback on our "Summer Freeze" experiment in August. Please write your feedback on the back of the response card and either place it in the collection plate or hand it off to a staff member or shepherd.
