The
Summer of Family
“And then He told them, ‘Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone, everywhere.’” (Mark 16:15, NLT)
This Summer, God is giving us an open door to live out Mark 16:15. As we head into this time of the year, we have a great opportunity to make inroads into the lives of our families, friends, neighbors and co-workers to reach them with the love and hope that is found in Jesus Christ.
First Baptist Church has so many activities planned this Summer that are great environments to invite people to a “non-churchy-type” activity. From hymn-sings to bowling to baseball to a party in the park, there are lots of things happening for which we can gather together.
“Family of Summer”
Why are we calling it that?
Well for two reasons. The first is because the first Wednesday of each month (June, July, August) we will be setting aside time to spend together with our families. There won’t be any activities on campus, but instead we’ll be gathering in homes to be a “family” during this busy season. The second is because our Wednesday night activities in July give us an opportunity to spend time together as a church family. Hence, the name: The Summer of Family.
I want to encourage you to remain faithful during the Summer months. We are gearing up for an exciting and big Fall, but we must maintain our momentum throughout June and July to hit it out of the park in August.
See you Sunday!
