Weekly Rundown (7.26.09)

• So we called an "audible" and began a 2-part series on prayer today.  All of us on staff really sensed the need to "pray" as people in our church face uncertainty, deal with sin, and seek to grow in Christ.  My conviction is that we seriously underestimate prayer's power and purpose, at least I know I do.
  
  
  
  • TODAY'S BIG IDEA:  Prayer is how we live "eternally" while on earth.
  
  
  
  


• Last round of staff vacations is this week.  I'm glad our team members are getting some well deserved R & R.


• Last week was a really great week for me.  I got to spend some time with church members & volunteers as well as some people who are returning to the Christian faith and to church.
  
  
  
  • Additionally, we continue to have some really healthy conversations and discussions on our staff.
  
  
  
  


• A lot of you have been asking about our adoption process ... I'm devoted an entire blog post to it this week :)


• College football is getting closer and closer :)


• Don't forget that NEXT Sunday night is our final Summer Night of Worship ... at the Civic Auditorium in Calhoun.


• God is good, the tomb is empty, Jesus is alive ... have a great week!
