I am taking a few days with my wife Jill and we are going to get away in the mountains of North Georgia.Â
I have to be honest; I am tired! I love pastoring and I love the experience we have had in launching Church at the Grove, but it is hard work. I wouldn’t have it any other way, but it is good to be able to get away for some Sabbath time.Â
We had another great weekend at Church at the Grove. We began a new series called “Fuel”. We had 328 people for our Mother’s Day Sunday and another four people turned to follow Christ! The sermon was on “The Winner’s Circle” and we challenged people to “Run the Race and Share the Race”!
It makes me want to spike a Hymnal!
We only have a couple of weeks left before school is out and we move into our summer schedule. We will have two more weeks of two Sunday services and then we will go back to one Sunday service for nine weeks before going back to two in the fall.Â
Summer is crazy in the life of a church. People are vacationing and traveling, spending time at the lake along with many other activities.Â
I pray that we all take advantage of the rich opportunity to build friendships and relationships with the people living around us and in our circles of influence. Build relationships and friendships that will offer the opportunity to start a discussion about the hope found in Christ. Don’t allow yourself to get to the end of the summer without investing in other’s with the love of Jesus.
Get out of the house; Walk across the street; Tell someone about Church at the Grove! Tell someone about Jesus!
