e-news for week of 6/20/10

You REALLY need to read all of this!!!

We just came out of our weekly staff meeting and I’m really excited about the upcoming back to school season. Now, you may be thinking, “I can’t believe he is already thinking about that.” We have in store for Forum some excellent vision, goals, challenges, and growth opportunities.

Let me give you a sneak peek and encourage you to save some dates:

• Tailgate party after 3rd service on August 29th.
• September 5, 2nd and 3rd services south campus are going to head out to the north campus for a combined worship service there. Prior to that, we are going to set up some intentional neighborhood canvassing to invite people on the north end of town to this newly opened campus. We’ve set a faith goal of averaging 100 at the north campus so we’ll faithfully work toward that goal.
• Our sermon series is designed to connect you to God, to grow you, and to help you live like Christ. The overarching theme for 2010-11 will be, “Your personal best.”
• We’re producing a DVD Life Group curriculum that will be a fresh approach
• We’ve upgraded the south campus facility to better serve our children’s department and a new layout with improved check-in processes, flow, and security will also fully be in place. (Thank you for your flexibility and patience during the remodel. We are very close to the finished product.)

God calls on us to live for His glory. For every Christ follower that statement would go unchallenged. As a church, we strive to intentionally connect people to Jesus. As we are closing out the “I Do” series, I want to thank so many of you for the notes of encouragement that have come during this series. Life in the family of God and within your home is so important to the Lord. It is the primary place we live out His glory within our lives. This is where legacy, integrity, honor, valor, and love are fleshed out. We’ve got a great word from the Lord for you this Sunday at both campuses. — Scott
