Connect Groups and Mental Health All this month we have been emphasizing the importance of Connect Groups – our small group Bible studies. We all know why they are important; Bible study, the community of believers, and the opportunity to pray and serve together.

Are We Seeing “Green Shoots?” Not one of us would deny we are living in very difficult and perilous times. Our faith in Christ is under attack daily across the country, and our children are being targeted with destructive ideologies and teaching. Yet, I think I can see a glimmer of hope.

Several weeks ago I asked the Wednesday night Bible study group to pray specifically for a fruitful harvest of new believers. The following weekend, we also asked the entire church to do the same.

PLEASE READ THIS Would you join me in specific and targeted prayer? Wednesday night I taught from Joshua 1 and emphasized the cooperation of the people of God in taking the land which the Lord had promised to give them.

Martha and I have had a wonderful time away. We are grateful for the opportunity you give us to relax and refresh in July, but we have missed our church family and are happy to be returning to begin a new season of ministry with all of you.
