this weekend @ sfbc - August 9th

sfbc family,

It's today. Returning to school, well, it is today in LaRue County. Where did the summer go?

Pray for students today. Pray that they will adjust to their new schedules, pray that they will have a great and safe school year. Pray for teachers. Pray that our students will make an great impact for Christ during this school year. Our student ministry is an the verge of exploding in growth. I believe we are ready to make a real difference for Christ through our students. We could easily see 100 students in Bible Study (Sunday School) this fall and see our Wednesday worship attendance reach 150 or more. These are not out of the reach, impossible goals. We have passionate leader, a great group, and parents who are involved. everything is ready. Pray that today are students will begin not only a journey in another year of education but a year of living for Christ!

Kids Choir did a great job Sunday night with the musical, " I am a Promise". Thank you Randy and Machelle for working this summer with our children. I hope you are excited to see so many kids and youth at our church each week. We are seeing new families each week who are looking for a church with active youth and children's ministry. We are blessed to be able to provide these ministries and have a church that supports them so well. Thank you for loving kids at South Fork.
I want to encourage you to join a small group Bible Study. There are several options for groups. First, is Sunday School. We have Sunday School class for all age groups and life stages. These classes meet each Sunday morning at 10am. Second, in September we will offer several small groups that will meet at different times during the week and in different locations. The groups will be studying the book Crazy Love by Francis Chan. Our goal is to have 10 groups with 8 - 10 people in each group. We will begin with a Crazy Love Kick off on a Sunday night in September to form our groups. Then groups will meet for 10 weeks. These should be awesome times of sharing, studying, and fellowship. They don't replace Sunday School but do offer additional opportunities for growth.

Schedule Change
Men's Prayer Group meets tonight. There has been a change in the schedule. Please meet at the church at 6pm.

Hope to see you this weekend,
Bro Norm
