As we wrap up our “Sent” series the next couple weeks, we want to start to ask ourselves what it means to be “sent” right where we are living. What could that look like in practical terms? What are the next steps in living a “sent” life? These are some of the topics that will be covered at a “Go Groups” info meeting on June 12. Sign up at the Info Table if you would like to attend the meeting, which will include lunch. The meeting will begin at 12:30 in the Community  Room.

SCHOOL PRAY

Join our youth Sunday at 12:30 p.m. in rallying around Brooks Middle School for prayer. Before going out, we will meet in the Green Room to share refreshments and learn what prayer is and how God uses it. The entire church community is invited.

BENEVOLENCE OFFERING

We will be taking a benevolence offering at the end of service Sunday. This is a special offering that goes directly to help those in our church body who have a financial need. Please look for the ushers as you leave the auditorium.

FIGHT CLUB

Some of the most noted, celebrated and godly men in the Bible made some very big mistakes when it came to raising their children.  Bad Dads of the Bible examines these mistakes and gives today’s dads much needed advice on how to avoid them, or repair damage that might already have been done. Between teaching and group discussion, men will tackle this topic together in the next four sessions. Fight Club meets every other Saturday at 7:30 to 8:45 a.m. The next Fight Club is June 11.
