Okay, I know technically it is not the end of summer, but practically speaking with school starting back next week, it is the end of summer vacation and that has a huge impact for those of us in the local church.  Here are several thoughts as we come to a close of our summer:

  • It has been a great summer for Church at the Grove!  We have had many new faces come through this summer and to see our environment on Sunday mornings continue to grow and develop sets us up for a great fall!
  • With much blessing comes great responsibility.  We need to “step it up” and respond to the challenge that God has put before us.  There are still many people in this community that have yet to be connected to God through Jesus.  We need to stay focused outwardly!
  • We are going back to two services on August 5!  It is going to be crazy in a good way.  We need to show a spirit of hospitality like never before.  We need to show God’s love in our Sunday morning environment through excellent greeting and friendliness. 
  • We had an incredible time at our baptism Sunday night!  It was one of the sweetest times I can remember.  See the pictures below.
  • Gear up for an incredible fall!  Plan to invite some people in your circle of influence!  You don’t want to miss what is going to happen!
