Summer of Family

This summer our theme is "Family". We believe the Church is to be the Family of God, or the Body of Christ. We understand that you have your close friends, but we are going to be encouraging each other to connect with more of the family this summer. We are intentionally focusing inward this summer to help build the relationships within our group. In the fall we will focus again on our small group ministries with more opportunities to gather together each week on Wednesday nights.
We also will continue to support the families through our monthly family gatherings as well as supply you with daily readings of scripture that we'll be encouraging the students to be reading as well as discussing these with you at home.
And to continue our focus on families we will also meet once a month in homes to involve more of the families in our church to participate in our ministry simply by opening their homes up and allowing them to see what's going on in our ministry.
Our schedule begins the third Wednesday in August with a return to UTURN WEDNESDAYS. An UTURN @ HOME will follow the following week and then in September we'll kick off the regular schedule:
* 1st Wednesday - Family Gathering 7:30 PM in the Worship Center (family focus)
* 2nd Wednesday - Coffee House 7:30 PM in the fellowhip hall (small group focus)
* 3rd Wednesday - UTURN WEDNESDAY 7:00 PM in the Worship Center (outreach focus)
* 4th Wednesday - UTURN @ Home 7:30 PM in homes TBA (relationship focus)
* 5th Wednesday - UTURN EVENT WEEK - Event will fall the weekend following 5th
Wednesday. There will be no actual meeting on the 5th Wed.

There it is at a glance. We hope you'll be praying with us this summer as we shake things up a bit and prepare for the fall and all that God has planned for us.
