Sunday Review & Weekly e-News

Hard to believe its already the second day of school here in Gwinnett County.  I hope you'll join me in prayer for all our students and educators.  This past Sunday we finished the series "Just Like Me" as we talked about the story of the poor widow who gave two small coins and asked, "What if everyone gave just like me?"  In this story, we see that Jesus looks at our hearts.  It's not so much how much as how.  We are not measured by how much we give or have but by how we give with what we have.  I'm excited about how God's people respond in the exciting upcoming season at Church of the Way.

Here's a look at what's happening in the next few weeks:
 

• One Way Student Ministry kicks off on Wednesday nights at Archer on Aug. 14 from 6:30-8:30.  Contact James Savage at james@churchoftheway.net if you have questions.
• Coming Home.  A brand new series begins this week.  It's a great opportunity to invite friends who somehow got a little disconnected from God or church.
• Serve Team Sign-ups.  You can still sign up to help serve on one of our Serve Teams.  It's a great way to get to know people and serve God.  You can serve in Hospitality, One Way Students, Kidz Way Children, Welcome Team, Set-Up, A/V, and Administration.  Check it out at churchoftheway.net.
• Baptism Sunday.  For children, teens and adults.  Whether this is a first time or if you want to celebrate a remembrance of baptism to mark a new beginning in your life, come to the Baptism Class this Sunday, August 11, at 4 p.m. at my home (1280 Bramlett Forest Trail, Lawrenceville, GA 30045).  RSVP and/or request childcare by contacting me.
• Community Fun Day.  Saturday, Aug. 17.  6-8 p.m. at Tribble Mill Park.  The Maple Pavilion.  Bring a picnic for your family and a dessert to share.  Come out for some games and just to hang out.
• LIFE Group Sign-ups begin Aug. 18.  Every group will be doing a study called "Starting Point" for people at all stages of the journey.  Contact Heather Haynes at heather@churchoftheway.net if you have questions.

In Christ,
