Happy Labor Day! I'm hoping you are having a nice relaxing day with your family/friends. The office will be closed today. However, the ministers and elders are meeting tonight if there is a something you would like for us to discuss or pray about.
As far as Sunday was concerned it was a sort of a down day without your youth. I agree with the comments by David Brooker that we really miss having our teenagers on the front. With that said, it is wonderful they have events like Sonquest to attend each year. All the reports have been positive, although the adults looked a little tired when they arrived yesterday afternoon. They really need a Labor Day break.
Wednesday begins our new classes. Two great adult class choices: 1) Prayer taught by Steven Wilson in the Coffee Shop and 2) Early Church Father's taught by David Paladin in Lynn Center #105. And what a better way to kick off the new quarter than our first Wednesday night Oasis since Spring. The meal will begin at 5:30 PM. We also have a group who have a time of prayer before classes at 6:30 PM in the LC #103 (women) and LC #105 (men). It should be a great night.
Add to that, we know some are unable to attend on Wednesday nights, especially as the sun begins to go down earlier. So we have a Tuesday morning Bible class we would like to encourage you to attend. This class has been going on for some time. Those who come seem to enjoy themselves too much! Seriously it is a great group of people. The class begins at 10 AM and those who want can go to lunch together afterwards. They are studying the Minor Prophets.
Keeping with the "new" theme, Sunday morning will also begin the new Fall classes. The Book of Mark will be in the auditorium. For those who signed up, the Personalities class will be in the Lynn Center room #105. This class is filled but will be offered again soon.
This Sunday I will begin a new sermon series entitled Creativity. Churches should be some of the most creative places on earth but many times can be the least. In this study we will notice many Biblical examples of why this is true. We will be looking at three lessons in particular: 1) The Creative God; 2) The Creative Church; 3) The Creative Leader.
One last thing, this Sunday night will be our monthly "Circle-Up Singing". This had been intended to go through the Summer, but we have received so much positive feedback it will be around a while longer. Men and boys who would like to lead a song get it ready this week. You don't have to be a professional song leader to lead a song. We will also have the whiteboard up for songs others would like to request.
I hope you are up for some new things this week as it all begins Wednesday night! Hopefully I haven't forgotten anything. Check on those who were unable to be here Sunday or you know are sick. Let the elders and ministers know if someone is needing some special attention.
