What a Summer we are having as a church!  Pastor JR Coleman made a huge impression on Sunday.  I was away speaking for Pastor Sherwood Carthen at Bayside South Sacramento, but I heard all about it from many of you.  Thank you for making him and his wife feel so welcomed.  We will have Pastor Sherwood Carthen speak for us in August.

This coming weekend, we are going to continue in our Acts series "The Church Rising."  We will be looking at the story of Peter and Cornelius.  This is a pivotal point for the early church and it has shaped the church for the last two-thousand years.  Take a look at Acts 10 and 11 if you want to look ahead. 

Also, this weekend we will be telling you about how you can make an impact on children in our local schools.  We are going to provide backpacks and school supplies for needy children in our local area for the second year in a row.  Thank you for joining us as we look for opportunities to unleash compassion, in life impacting ways, on our city.

 

We look forward to seeing you this coming weekend and please consider bringing a friend!

Join us this Sunday as special guest speaker Dr. John Jackson comes to share with us.  Prior to joining William Jessup University as its sixth president in March 2011, John served as Executive Director of Thriving Churches International and as a senior leader of Bayside Church, Granite Bay, California.  He is the founding pastor of LifePoint Church in Minden, Nevada.

His strong background in executive and organizational leadership has given him the opportunity to come alongside high impact churches and leaders in national and global settings to strengthen their organizational leadership and communication skills. John is committed to leverage his Kingdom influence through strategic relationships.

Dr. Jackson has written and co-authored six books: Finding Your Place in God’s Plan, God Size Your Church, Leveraging Your Communication Style, Leveraging Your Leadership Style, Pastorpreneur and High Impact Church Planting.
