Dear Church Family,

We have an exciting fall ahead of us as a church family! We have many opportunities for you to be involved in the ministry of the church. Over the next weeks and months you will be reading about those in the newsletter as well as hearing about them in the service.

One event I am very excited about is the revival we will have this fall. These Monday night services will be filled with great singing and powerful preaching. These services will be a great time of growth for our church family and hopefully evangelistic growth as we bring our loved ones and friends to hear about the love of Christ.

I need your help to make this the best revival for our church family. Sunday we will have prayer guides available for everyone. These prayer guides will help us prepare our hearts for revival. There will be more prayer opportunities ahead as we seek the will of God for this time of revival.

I cannot wait to worship with you this Sunday! I love you all in Christ! Brother Nathan
