I Love My Church Sunday

Psalm 126:3 says, “The Lord has done great things for us; We are joyful.”  The Lord has indeed done great things for ABC.  Our church has always been a testimony of God’s grace.  The Lord continues to bless our church family with growth, unity, and testimonies of life change.  It is important for us to not look past these blessings, but instead to pause and give thanks for all that God has done.

Sunday October 22^nd will be a special day of celebration.  We are altering the schedule for one weekend to bring the entire church together as one family of faith.  That day will be themed as “I Love My Church Sunday.”  We will offer 9am BFGs, a 10:30am worship service, and an 11:45am FREE cookout and carnival for all.  Our BFG’s will be hosting a friendly dessert competition during the luncheon, and all our classes will be on display for those who are searching for a group.

I Love My Church Sunday will also provide you a couple unique opportunities.  First, we will have a special baptism emphasis that day.  Baptism is meant to be a celebration for the church, so we are planning to make that an integral part of our celebration Sunday.  If God has put believer’s baptism on your heart, I encourage you to take your next step of faith on October 22^nd.  Contact our staff, and we would love to discuss it further with you.

Secondly, October 22^nd will provide the perfect opportunity for you to invite a friend to church.  I hope you are praying over the names you listed on your “Go Card” last Sunday.  Immediately following our October 15^th services, we will leave church on mission to invite those individuals to join us the following week.  The invitation is simple: “I love my church, and I think you would too.”

I encourage you to continue to look outward because the mission field is all around us.  God has given our church a great opportunity to make an impact in our city and our world.  May each of us be available to the Lord this week to love, to serve, and to share the hope that is in us.  I look forward to seeing you this Sunday in worship.

Onward and upward,

Jonathan Spencer
