Dear ,

Happy Fall! In this Friday video update, Pastor Jeanine Smith invites you to watch and listen as she rolls out our ministry plans for the month of October and the launch of our new 4-week teaching series "Encounters with Jesus" starting this Sunday, October 10 at 10 am. Pastor Jeanine will be bringing the message to us on the story of Martha and Mary, and how they were transformed by their personal encounters with our savior.

Encounters with Jesus Fall Teaching Series

ABOUT OUR FALL TEACHING SERIES
Diving into the Gospels, we will look deeper into the lives of different followers of Jesus. We will explore how Mary, Martha, Peter, and more were changed by their encounters with Jesus. We will discover the value of being with Jesus, and how that can change everything about us, including our values, expectations, potential, and purpose. Come and see how Jesus changes them and can change you, too.

Learn how that life change has a ripple effect on others and brings even more people to encounter Jesus and into the family of God. The theme of this sermon series is tied to this year’s theme for The Gathering, “Become a Disciple-Making Disciple,” which will be held on Saturday, Oct. 30 from 8 am - 1 pm. For more information see the ad below or visit our event page.

In addition, this Sunday at 1 pm in HH400 (Skyroom) and on Zoom, we will be sharing what we have learned from your input about the 10 am Sunday service worship time from our Communal Listening gatherings. To register for our Communal Discernment event and to get your Zoom link, please visit our event page.

There are lots of other wonderful ministry opportunities for you to participate in as we live "Life at Lake" together in Jeanine's video and in the announcements below. Check it out.

If you are a grandparent and want to get equipped on how to share Jesus with your grandkids at a special 2-day Grandparenting Legacy Summit on October 21-22, watch the special update after Jeanine's message at the end of this video.

We look forward to seeing you this Sunday at 10 am indoors, on our website, Facebook and YouTube. You can also watch our service anytime on-demand afterward on YouTube and Facebook.

COMMUNAL DISCERNMENT

Come and hear the themes of what was shared across all the sessions. Time will be spent hearing from leaders on what has been discerned about our worship experience. Join us in person in HH400 (Skyroom) on October 10 from 1 pm to 2 pm or on Zoom. Light refreshments will be served. A Zoom link will be sent to those joining virtually. Register - HERE.
