10/8/20 Weekly Update

Hope everyone is doing good today and excited about a packed weekend.  I guess if you don't have a packed weekend you're equally if not more excited about that.  We had another great crowd last night as we enjoyed our 4th week back together.  While church is not the only thing getting back to full steam, we're thankful for those who are able to join us in person.  And now we're thankful to be able to not only stream our service but to archive it on Facebook and Youtube.  Such a great way to make sure no child is left behind.  Little Bush throwback there.
​I know you're all busy so let's get straight to the goods.

Coming up...

• New Podcast coming out later today.  In fact, as soon as I finish this update we'll head over and record it.  Today's episode is all about OLD PEOPLE.  It should be pretty good.  You can find the podcast on the front page of our website or most podcast players.
• Frisbee in the Fall - October 18th.  We had a great crowd last month and hope to have even more in a few weeks. Everyone is invited, even you "old people."  So plan to grab lunch after church and then meet us at the Central Middle football field.
• Truck Stop Ministry - October 24th.  An awesome way to give back to those who provide for us in so many ways.  This is a great encouragement and ministry to these men and women.  Email Chris or Andrew if you plan to come.
• Rock Lab - October 24th.  This is a night where we dive deep into the Word.  We learn how we can better read and understand the Bible.  We'll spend out time together by looking at I and II Samuel.  This will be from 6-8pm.  The plan for the year is to have 6 of these a year.  All in an effort to help students become students of the Word as they seek to hide God's Word in their hearts.
• REFUEL - Our winter retreat will be here before you know it.  For more information or to register, please visit THIS PAGE.
• Sunday School - October 25th - We begin in person Sunday School soon....start making plans.
• SUNDAY NIGHTS - We begin THIS WEEK meeting together again for our PM Service.  This week we have the amazing opportunity to ordain 2 of our own.  Andrew and Jacob will be ordained into ministry this Sunday night.  I pray you'll come out and support these 2 young men as they "officially" begin their life in ministry.

Last Night

We continued our new series FAITHFUL last night. It's a journey through the books of Samuel.  Our hope is to help students see the faithfulness of God through this book but then also in the overarching story of the Bible.  In doing this we are reminded that God is in control, not only in the story of the Bible but in our story too!   Last night was all about the counterfeit stuff.  We looked at how Israel forsook God and ultimately saw God's response to that forsaking.  A needed reminder of God's faithfulness and hope even as we pursue other things.  Below is the transcript from the sermon as well as the video.

I do want to remind you that we have 1 Samuel Scripture journals available for $5.  This is such a great way to trek through this amazing book with us on Wednesday nights.  What a treasure it would be to later go back and see notes from the 15 yr old you.  I know, a bit scary perhaps, but cool nonetheless.  Have a great weekend and we'll see you all on Sunday.
