How to defeat the "Dog Days" of summer!

Well summer is here in full swing! AS you and yours gear up for all the summer fun you plan on having here are a few things you can pray for North:

1. V.B.S. the week of July 7-11. Pray that God would bring the community together! We are hosting it in a community center at a park and are hoping that the community we minister in and too will feel Gods call to bring their kids and be exposed to the gospel!

2. We are going to one service each Sunday in July followed by a potluck every week as well. Pray that our church family grows in closeness and that the community feels welcome and decides to check us out!

3. We are doing various movie nights in the parking lot along with cook-outs and such so pray that we can have and provide fun for the community.

Here is a great read I would suggest for all of you as you plan your summers out and to implement in your church families this summer!

Love you all!

Summer is Here!

Well we have made it to our first summer!

With that realization comes a whole lot of "What is going to happen now?"

Undoubtedly we will not escape the summer lolls of endless amounts of people being out of town and on vacation. This can be difficult for any church but for a new one that is only 26 weeks old it can be down right scary! Not knowing what to expect makes it rather difficult to not only plan but try to grow accordingly.

We have many things planned for this summer including our first ever VBS so please be praying that we can not only exist but that we can thrive this summer! That VBS will reach into the community and bring not only children but adults into a relationship with Christ!

Also as we go through this time pray that our hearts and our passion will not waiver. It would be easy for our members to become discouraged and we want the opposite, we want revival and spiritual awakening!

currently we are seeing lives changed slowly and surely people are growing in their walk with Christ!

Pray that our "Community" groups would continue to grow and thrive and that we would see more people coming into true community!

We love you all!
