Doin' God's Work -- Heart of Worship

We've been doing a series exploring "The Heart of Worship." This week, it was "Worshipping Together." Next Sunday, "Evangelism: The Result of God-Centered Worship." Faithfully, we congregate to worship because we are faithful to God. When we are in groups, He builds our faith and binds our relationship with God closer.

Wednesday at 3:30, we meet to strengthen and lift each other up. God is faithful to fill OUR spirits up so we can continue to do God's work. We may not be strong in number, but faithful to the One who makes us strong in our weakness. We pray for large numbers to enter the Kingdom.

We gather as children of God for many reasons. But our main focus is on the Lord, to please him. I think of the times a few of us have met to do a project to bring God glory. Always amazed how much easier and joyful it is when we work together. Many have been doing the same with VBS. Hopkins will hold it at HFC Church July 27th to 31st in the evenings.

Ravenwood will host Breakfast and Lunch during the Ravenwood Fall Festival August 1st to 2nd. August 24th, they will host All Parish Fellowship with music and dessert 5:30 pm. Morning worship will be in home churches.

Local schools will begin August 15th. The church is accepting donations, monetary, or school supplies for the Back to School Fair until July 28th. The children need all the assistance they can get to start off with good esteem. August 8th is when Community Services plans the Back to School Fair.

July 30th at 6:30, Grant City UMC Ministries/Board meeting. Picking Bible Camp planning at the Thompsons 7 pm August 5th.

There are a lot of ways to get involved serving God. May the Lord bless upon us a double portion of His spirit within us as we grow in numbers for the Kingdom. Let's work together!

See you in church!
