Thank You For Your Flexibility
Thank you for your flexibility in adjusting to our new 9:00 a.m. format on Sunday mornings. We are getting started on time and enjoying a full worship service with the preaching of the Word. Remember to come early for breakfast and fellowship, The food is usually ready around 8:30 a.m. I also want to express appreciation for all our workers who are faithfully, serving, greeting, teaching, counting money, and more. You all are the best!! We have experienced a lot of change, but we are moving forward into what the Lord has planned for us.

Remember to invite any unchurched friends you may have to join with us for our services. God is really moving in our midst as we model family unity in our region. There is probably someone who is ready to come with you if an invitation were extended to them. Will you give them a call?

This Sunday is the first Sunday and we will celebrate the Lord's Table together during the worship service. Thanks to our deacons who always have this ready for us and for those who help them in serving our people.

Expect "tokens" of blessings to come particularly in the first three weeks in August. The Lord spoke this to me recently. It will be a time of receiving blessing, promotion, and financial advance. These tokens will be prophetic pictures of the coming treasure needed to advance the Kingdom. It will be a sign of a much greater wave that will come later to supply everything needed for our church family to fulfill God's purpose and plans. In addition, there will also be a breaking forth of various people in our region in the use of spiritual gifts on a new scale just ahead. This past Weds. night, Elder David Clark also released a word to the women in our region that is a time of liberty and getting your voices restored in the body of Christ.

I want you to be aware that we continue to work on our sound system. We are so thankful to all the people who are helping us each week in the sound booth and on the stage. We are addressing some issues related to how our speakers are installed as well as working on components on the computer and mixing board side. We also are discussing more sound absorption materials. There are areas in the room that are certainly louder than others. Just want you to know, we are aware and working on it. Please be patient. Bring earplugs if needed while we get everything adjusted. Even then if it is a little louder than you like, the plugs will help reduce the noise so you will be more comfortable. We will continue to improve this area. And for any adults who prefer just the teaching part of the service, you are free to fellowship in the commons area until then. We certainly understand and will not draw wrong conclusions about what is best for you.

Thanks for your prayers this past weekend while Mikki and I were in Virginia ministering. We saw the Lord move with power through the word and ministry time. There were many healings and the Pastor felt the church was moved forward in answer to their prayers. It was truly a weekend of advancing into the supernatural and seeing the gifts operating in the church.

Wednesdays Are Wonderful!
I am very excited about our Wednesday evening happenings at Grace House. The couples class is growing, the preteens are growing, the children are having a blast, and the youth and adults are rocking out in the worship center. I am grateful to see the new Grace House people who are joining us on Wednesday evenings. We are enjoying, worship, the word, prophetic ministry, and powerful ministry times in the altar. If you enjoy a revival atmosphere, you will enjoy Wednesday nights at Grace House.

KINGDOM STATION - Weds. Children's Ministry
Jamie and Heather Ridinger from the ARK oversee this dynamic time for the children on Wednesday nights. The children begin in the worship area with the adults at 6:30 p.m. and then after a couple of songs they go together to their own theater. Watch for the KINGDOM STATION slide to appear on the big screen which signals the time for the children to leave for their own time together.

And as always, we have caring loving people who share Jesus' love with the little ones in our nursery area on Wednesday nights. Thanks to all of you who help in this area.
