Wow! We celebrated 5 years last Sunday! What an amazing service it was, and the Luau was a blast. At the Luau we baptized 90!! There were lots of tears. The presence of God was so strong with us, and even with 55 beach balls no one got hurt during the in-service volleyball game. I want to thank the hundreds who made the weekend so special. It could not have happened but for all those serving us selflessly.
As we begin year 6, we all need to be thinking about how we will live brave. Part of that is the service we give to others. What will be your part? Not “if” you serve, but “when” will you serve? Where will you serve? We are now a church exceeding 1,100, and the amount of people it takes to staff our ministries is only growing as well. Please take a moment to consider where you will add value by serving. We always have a need in the Patio Cafe, Media Team, Children’s, Road Warriors, Guest Services (ushers and greeters) and the Connection Cafe. There are other places to serve, but these always have room for a few more.
This coming Sunday we are going to wrap up our series WE BELIEVE with part three of “Hope’s Arrival”. You can look ahead for this Sunday by reading Revelation 19:11-16 and I Corinthians 3:12-15. Come expecting God to speak into your life.
We are also looking for about 10 more homes to open up for our upcoming Life Group launch starting Sept 21. We will have our first signups this Sunday so people can join a group. If you are willing to open your home please contact Pastor Cheryl at (916) 726-2100.
We love you and can hardly wait to see you this coming weekend as we gather to celebrate the goodness of God, catch up with friends and open the Bible to learn.
