Hello Church Family!

Wendy and I were gone to Libby, Montana, last week. Libby is where Wendy grew up and we enjoyed a family reunion. One highlight for me was a Chainsaw Carving Contest going on in town. It is amazing what an artist can do with a chainsaw and a chunk of wood! I continually thought, "How in the world did they find that within that log? It truly made me think of our Creator and His amazing ability to create something incredible from seemingly nothing! What an incredible God we serve!

“You are worthy, our Lord and God,
    to receive glory and honor and power,
for you created all things,
    and by your will they were created
    and have their being.”

-Revelation 4:11

This Sunday, we will be finishing up our Home Improvement Summer Family Sundays. Don't miss the finale! We will also take a few moments to introduce the different small groups that are available for the fall. Small groups are such an important part of growing in the Lord. If you want to get a head start at seeing what groups are available, click here. You can even register right there online.

This Sunday, we also have an all church picnic following the service on the church property. Bring a side dish or dessert to share. We'll be set up for inside and outside, just in case there is some rain. Let's get re-connected from all of our busy summer schedules.

I also want to mention that we have switched internet providers for our livestream and things are working really well again. If you are not able to be with us in person, please join us online.
