Moments with Mark
Greetings in the Name of our Savior!
We are starting another all-church Bible Study beginning on September 10th. It is called Max on Life by Max Lucado. Following is a brief description:
We have questions. Real, important and challenging questions. Questions about family, finances, and forgiveness. Unsettling questions regarding illness, death and eternity. Don't we crave answers to these questions that tug on the deepest parts of our hearts?
Max Lucado has received thousands of questions and wrestled with plenty of his own. In these eight Bible study sessions, one of today's most trusted pastors takes on life's most important questions. Here's hoping that his answers to the questions of others will help you find answers to your own.
You can sign up on-line or in the Narthex. You may participate in a Sunday School class , small group, or on your own. The participant’s guide and videos are on Right Now Media. If you do not have access, contact Leah in the church office to get access. I hope for great participation. It is an opportunity for each of to grow in our spiritual journey.
***
On another note: Kimmy’s sister, Jessi, is stepping down as co-director of Children’s Ministry. She and Brandon are expecting their 3rd child this Fall. Kimmy will be the sole Director beginning in September. WE NEED YOU!! To help with this important ministry. Please see Kimmy to discover ways in which you can serve.
***
And finally: LET’S CELEBRATE JUBILEE!! (September 30th & October 1st).
Blessings and peace,
Pastor Mark

We would like to have someone in the prayer room before each service to pray with Pastor Mark and/or any other service leader that would like to pray. It would be nice to have someone there for each service praying for the service also. Prayer times are 8:00, 9:15 & 10:15. Please let me know if you are available. Respond to Barbara Woods (317) 861-5619, or email at barb5619@gmail.com.

SUNDAY GREETERS
The Greeter volunteer is a very enjoyable opportunity! For 15 minutes before each service, you get to be in the Welcome Center to greet people who are coming in. Guests may need directions and will feel welcome when there is someone available to greet them or just extend a smile and “hello”.
You can sign up for one or more times a month. We would like to have 2 people for each time so someone could be at the Welcome Center door to assist people when entering the building.
There are several available opportunities. The times are 8:00, 9:15 and 10:15. Please call or email Barbara Woods to accept this opportunity to serve at (317) 861-5619 or barb5619@gmail.com.
