We took a short summer break from our mid week services but THIS WEDNESDAY NIGHT, AUGUST 7th @6:30 we are excited to RELAUCH all of our MID WEEK SERVICES!!! And we have some EXCITING CHANGES TO announce! OUR Student ministries are GROWING, and we’ve got the BEST pastors in place to connect with our kids and students…check out our Pastors!

Our Kids ministry, ages birth – 3rd grade will be led by Cayla Brown and they will have their own time of worship and teaching! Our Fuse Ministry will be for students 4th-6th grade! These students will be led by Pastors Manny and Rose Awuku! And our older students, ages 7th – 12 grade will be led by Pastors Zach and Tristen Burks!!! For our Fuse and Merge Students, they will come together for a time of worship but after that, will go with their pastors who will lead each group in exciting and life changing teachings! By splitting these two groups up after worship, they will be able to dive into relevant and age appropriate topics, with pastors who are committed to being there for them through each stage of spiritual development.

But Wednesday nights aren’t just for students. There are small groups for all ages, we have in depth topical studies, currently led by Pastor Steve, our NextGen Young Adults class, led by Pablo and Christa, where the focus is on discipleship and finding friends to do life with, and a Thursday Night home group.

The MCC Grinder is also open from 5:30-6:15 each Wednesday so you can come early, get a great cup of coffee and hang out! We can’t wait to see you on Wednesday Nights! This is a great time to get connected and really go deeper in your walk with Christ!

About This Month’s Study:
The Awe of God by John Bevere
Do you long for an intimate relationship with your Creator, but He seems elusive? Perhaps it is because something utterly essential is missing—the fear of the Lord. Don’t let this frighten you. Fearing God is very different than being afraid of God. It’s the key to everything.
Holy Fear is not a topic you’ll hear much about these days. But if you want to build a faith that stands strong through troubled times, you cannot afford to ignore this book.
In The Awe of God, John Bevere invites you to take a fresh look at what it means to work out your salvation with fear and trembling. This healthy, holy, and largely forgotten virtue is the uncommon path to a more fulfilled and fruitful life. In this book you will see why godly fear is the foundation of:

Wisdom, understanding, and knowledge
Foresight, clarity, and divine direction
Maturity and conformity to the image of Jesus Christ
Building an eternal legacy
Confidence, fearlessness, and security
Freedom from the fear of man as all lesser fears are eclipsed

We encourage you to purchase the book to supplement this study.
“let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:16
