LEADERSHIP NOTES
Grow Deep - Reach Out
Growing Deeper in your Faith?
Over the next year, this column will be dedicated to “spotlighting” one of the five new ministry teams formed by the congregational council over the past year. During the months of August, September and October, we’d like to feature the Spiritual Development Team.
The Spiritual Development Team exists to help people discuss Jesus in scripture and support people in their life of faith.
Congregational member Dan Ficken chairs the Spiritual Development Team which is made up of men and women with a heart for seeing people transformed by the good news of Jesus Christ.
In September, the Spiritual Development Team is excited to announce that they will be kicking off several opportunities to grow deeper in your faith. Watch the worship folder and website for more information coming soon.
See you in church.

CHURCH LIBRARY
Reading is important for us adults. We must read to learn and grow in our faith. We read for inspiration. For help in difficult times. For enjoyment. To keep mentally alert. There are countless reasons why reading is so good for us. Take advantage of the convenience of your Church Library. Stop in today—a volunteer will assist you.
