- Visiting Friends
On Sunday morning I had a friend visit SRC. He called me on Saturday to let me know he’d be visiting. He attends another church in the area, but has been praying for us. He wanted to be able to come see it, so he took a week off to journey south to see us. It was a great encouragement, and probably the biggest part of it was the way, he genuinely demonstrated worship. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to speak to him before he left. We ran late on setup and music rehearsal, then I was available for prayer and follow-up after the teaching. At some point he had to leave. I’ll get in touch with him this week, but it was a great encouragement.
- Katie Reading
Katie Purfield is a new attender at SRC, and I asked her to be my reader. As part of my teaching she would read the scripture, and then I would comment. It was a ton of fun, and she did a great job.
- Committing to SRC
Yesterday I had another attender ask how they could commit to SRC. The answer was the “Discover the River”. DTR is our membership group, that explores the founding principles of our church. To make sure that everyone who commits to membership is on the same page with our mission, vision, beliefs and values. If you have been attending SRC for a while and want to make SRC “your” church, then consider DTR. It will be offered in a couple weeks.
- Volunteers
Volunteers make SRC go. Yesterday a number of people jumped in to make the day possible. One person in particular stood out to me. She volunteered because I asked her last week to do greeting. Then this week she came and asked if she could do it again. She had Raven tickets with her family, that necessitated her leaving at 10:30, but she wanted to come and serve before the game. She came at 9:30 and was a great volunteer. If you haven’t volunteered, and found an exciting contribution to our church, get involved, it’ll make an eternal difference.
Great weekend!
