It’s Summertime!

Last Saturday and Sunday marked the first official weekend of summer church attendance. We launched a new message series, John’s Best Friend, and it promises to be a fabulous study of who Jesus is and what he did. I can’t think of a better series for our unchurched friends and family.

Summer church attendance can be a challenge at times. For instance, last weekend we had many open seats on Saturday at 4:05 and 6:05. We also had a good number of open seats at 9:05 Sunday morning. Then, at 11:05 on Sunday, we were so full that a hundred people had to sit in our overflow spaces. (By the way, thanks to each of you who ended up in an overflow space.)

As you ramp up for summer, let me encourage you to continue making weekend church attendance a top priority. And if it fits your schedule, choose one of the Saturday services or the 9:05 Sunday service.

We’re sure to have a lot of first-time guests throughout the summer and they typically show up at 11:05 on Sunday morning. So, let’s work together to make sure our guests have a great experience when they come. And if you’re bringing a guest, feel free to bring them to any service that they’re willing to attend.

Our mission is to be empowered by God to reach others for Christ. You do that so well. I’m eager to see how God is going to use each of us over the summer months.
