SENT

Craig Story did an incredible job of concluding our “SENT” series highlighting the story of Philip in Acts.  Here’s the  bottom line; Philip went wherever God led him to go and share Jesus with whoever he was around.  We are called, as followers of Jesus to live the same way!  One of the characteristics that we would like to see uniquely developed among the Church at the Grove family is “Missional Responsibility”.  My desire is that all “Grovers” will simply see themselves as missionaries and build relationships with people in their neighborhood, place of work, recreation life, and every activity for the purpose of sharing the hope that is found in Jesus.

Consider yourself “SENT”!

SUMMER

Summer is here and it is warm, kids are hanging out in the neighborhood and the Braves are in first place!  I will be leaving this weekend to go to IMPACT summer youth camp with some of our students.  It is an incredible week of ministry with students from all over the state of Georgia.

Please make sure and stay connected to Church at the Grove this summer!  I know people go on vacation and have summer activities but please stay active on Sunday mornings and look for ways to connect with others during the summer!

Community Groups for the fall

We are working hard on getting our plans in place for the community groups this fall.  Our goal is to have at least 75% of our adults in community groups this fall.  We have a goal of at least 15 adult community groups.  Please be praying about where you will connect and if you are interested in hosting a group or leading please let us know.

Baptisms

We have 2 summer baptisms scheduled; June 13 (next week) and July 18.  If you are interested in being baptized, please let us know and we will get it scheduled.  These baptisms are church-wide fellowship opportunities for everyone.  You are invited to bring your favorite side dish, lawn chairs and swim suits for a fun time and a meaningful time of worship with baptism.

New People

We have so many new people that are worshiping with us on a weekly basis.  Many are praying about making Church at the Grove their home church.  Please join me in making these families feel loved and accepted into our family and help guide them into the different ways to connect relationally to others in The Grove!

Loving Jesus

I am convinced more than ever that my life’s significance is connected to loving Jesus more and more each day.  I can’t think of anything that matters more than loving Jesus!  He is my savior and gave his life as a sacrifice for my forgiveness.  I owe Him everything.  I can never measure up to God’s standard in my own strength but if I trust Jesus for His strength, wisdom and power He can measure up by living through me!

I love this church!  I love each and every one of you and I am praying for you and your family each and every day.  Please let me know if I can serve you in any way!
