Hello Church Family!
Summer Schedule Changes
June 26th will be the last Spring session for eQuip, Sunday School, and Solid Rock Cafe.
We will observe a modified Sunday schedule for five Sundays in July, starting Sunday July 3rd, 2022 through July 31st.
The heart behind this schedule change is to give our teachers, kitchen crew, and ministry volunteers the freedom to take a break from teaching responsibilities and recharge for the upcoming Fall.
We will continue to meet at 10:15 am for our Worship Gathering, and childcare will be provided for children up to 4 years old.
We will continue our sermon series in June and July titled “Wisdom From Above” where we will preach selected passages from the Wisdom Literature in Scripture. The tentative topics are listed below.
Date Title Preacher
June 12 Wisdom from God for Gen Z Ken Nichols
June 19 Godly Wisdom for Men Emmit Perley
June 26 Wisdom of Generosity Ken Nichols
July 3 Wisdom of Forgiveness Ken Nichols
July 10 Wisdom of Confession Ken Nichols
July 17 Wisdom of Friendship Ken Nichols
July 24 Wise Words Ken Nichols
July 31 Wisdom at Work Jason Pierce
August 7 The End of All Wisdom Ken Nichols
We have a number of projects we are currently working on in order to prepare for Fall, including curriculum choices for Sunday School, course offerings for eQuip, developing volunteer training, and work on strengthening our ministries, including the following:
● Community Group emphasis - Recommended resources for Bible or book study;
How can we improve Extend the Impact? Making starting new groups easier. Training for CG leaders.
● Training for all Staff and Kid-Min volunteers; Ministry Safe training, strengthen our Child Protection Policy; check-in and dismissal procedures to enhance child safety
● Safety Team expansion - we will be looking to add technology, as well as team members to better protect our congregation during our worship gatherings.
We will resume our regular schedule in August with new eQUIP classes, Children’s Sunday School, and a new series in the book of Ephesians. More updates will be forthcoming.
