On Sunday, July 19, we will have a night to pray for Israel. A meal will be served at 5PM and the service is at 6PM. Our speaker will be Yisrael, a former Orthodox Jew, who came to Jesus for salvation. Yisrael’s heart is for Jewish people to come to Christ. He will share how God is working in the hearts of the Jewish people.
Beginning August 2 - September 13 our adult Sunday School teachers and small group leaders will teach a series of lessons from the book Turning Everyday Conversations into Gospel Conversations. This series will encourage, challenge, and equip believers to share their faith. On Sunday, September 13, Pastor Mark will preach a sermon on witnessing and give a challenge to the congregation. Books are available in the auditorium on the front and back tables at a cost of $5 for the study of this series.
Every marriage can use help at times. Whether you're in crisis or you simply want to go from "good" to "great," all marriages have room for growth.

Signups are limited to six couples. It will be from 6—7:30pm for fourteen weeks. Nursery will be provided. The cost is $30 per couple to cover books and must be paid to reserve your spot.

Please keep our students and their leaders in your prayers as they serve in Knoxville with Redeemer City Church this week. Pray that God will keep them safe in their travels, strengthen them as they share Christ's love, and use them to make a lasting impact in the lives of those they serve. Also pray that this experience will deepen their faith, encourage their hearts, and draw them closer to the Lord. Thank you for supporting our students through your faithful prayers.
Continue to pray for lives to be touched and transformed through the Gospel in our remaining two mission trips to come. Thank you for supporting our mission teams as they answer God’s call to serve others this summer.
