e-news for week of 8/7/11

Was there ever a group of people you really wanted to be a part of and, for whatever reason, you just didn’t make their cut? Maybe a college didn’t accept you. Maybe a clique wouldn’t allow you in the circle. Maybe a club, a societal group, an academic organization, a sports team did not allow you to join in.

The scripture this Sunday is really going to push us all.

As we finish out the Before/After series this Sunday, God’s word will remind us and challenge us regarding the reality of Excluded/Included from Ephesians 2: 11-22.

One important event and one announcement:

THE EVENT:

August 21 we’ll have our church tailgate party at the facility. There’s great stuff for kids, a concert that will be put on by our teens, great food, and a great time. This happens right after third service. Bring lawn chairs and a couple of side dishes. The main course and drinks will be provided.

BRING FRIENDS. This is a great Sunday to include people and invite them to church. We start a brand new sermon series called, “Game Changers.” School and schedules are settling down. There will be brats and more to offer them. Plus – those you invite will be surrounded by the great folks of Forum.

The announcement:

This past week our church amended our bylaws. The changes passed with a 101 to 2 affirmation.

Looking forward to worshiping with you this Sunday. I can’t wait - Scott
