Hi people of Peace!
Can’t wait to see you Sunday at 9 or 10:30 am.
Virtual services
Last week I invited you to get into God’s Word in a better way than livestreaming services.
For example, what about love?
The other week, we had some tough interactions at church. I won’t say what, but there was some tough stuff. As we finished, I looked at everyone and said, hey, I know this isn’t easy. Just remember the great purposes we are working for together. We are bringing people the gospel. We are seeing God’s kingdom come. Let’s keep working for that greater purpose. I love you all and I love working with you.
Where else do you get to do that? You can’t do that on a livestream.
I see the value of livestream. It helps in a few situations. But it can’t replace the real life we have together as Christians.
Come enjoy that life with us. Love to be part of it with you.

Service Times
Starting September 11th, we’ll move from two services to one service.
We’ll have one service at 9:30 am. Not 9:00, or 10:00 or 10:30, but 9:30 am.
I’ve enjoyed, and I think many of us have enjoyed, two services. We’ve had space. We’ve had a more intimate experience. We’ve had a chance to get to know people better (if you can’t get to know people with 30 or 40, you’ll never do it with 80 or 100). We’ve had options.
Despite these positives, the experiment has started to go an unhelpful way. We’re concerned about the attendance, our hope for the future, and our commitment to walking together.
Let’s compromise, come together at one new time for all of us, and be a new people.
