During the month of August we will be looking at the Five Practices of Fruitful Congregations as our Worship theme.  Bishop Robert Schnase wrote a book with this title in 2007, which has changed the way many churches are looking at their mission.  This fall our SPRC will be asked to evaluate me and our church on the ways in which we follow the five practices.  So I think it would be a good idea for us to look at each practice from a Biblical prospective during the month of August.

Our themes will be as follows,
  • August 1st Radical Hospitality
  • August 8th Passionate Worship
  • August 15th Intentional Faith Development
  • August 22nd Risk taking Mission and Service – This will also be our book bag blessing Sunday and recognition and prayer for all teachers and school staff.
  • August 29th Extravagant Generosity
Upcoming in September, we will look forward to Rally Day on the 12th.  Also on September 26th we will have special opportunity to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of our church’s move to the new site and the new building on North Street.  Please make note and plan to join us for this special occasion.

Summer Blessings,
Pastor Dan
