Discipleship is Vital to Church Health
Last week I wrote to you about what it means to be a disciple of Jesus Christ. I told you that Jesus set the standard pretty high, and there needs to be a commitment on our part. Today, I want to talk to you about what the life of a disciple looks like. In Acts 2:42-47, we see what it looked like in the early church. They were committed to the teaching of God’s Word, community, and prayer. This is easily adapted to our lives today, but it takes a decision on our part. We have to choose to make discipleship a priority. When things come up that compete with our church commitment, we need to say no. Our faith has to supersede everything else. This has a short-term cost, but the fruit it yields is far more beneficial. This is why Jesus is always beckoning to us to follow Him.
Hope Sunday June 28th
We are about two weeks away from our next Hope Sunday. This one is going to be special because we are making it a 250th birthday celebration for our country.

Men’s Breakfast & Women’s Tea
This Saturday is our monthly Men’s Breakfast & Women’s Tea. The men meet at 7:30 am in the CE Bldg kitchen. The burrito costs $5. The women meet in the Youth Room at 2 pm. Both events are great opportunities to connect with people in the church, celebrate what God is doing in our church, and
Youth Summer Kickoff June 17th
The upcoming Wednesday is our 2nd annual Youth Summer Kickoff. The youth group will reach out to their friends and invite them to attend. There will be obstacle courses, games, food by Coastal Dogs, and most importantly, a Gospel presentation. Please encourage any teenager you know to show up and pray, leading up to the event, that God will reach their hearts.
Class Promotion
Class promotion is happening this Sunday. If your child is entering 5th grade or kindergarten next school year, we are holding our promotion this Sunday. WE have found over the years that this helps children prepare early, and we ask for your cooperation.
That’s it for now. See you Sunday as we look at Revelation 1:9-20.
