WATCH OUT FOR ONE ANOTHER
Join us as we wrap up the book of Romans with a focus on watching out for one another. In these final chapters, Paul reminds us not to pass judgment, not to cause others to stumble, and to bear each other up in love. Let’s finish the summer strong as we pursue unity and support within our church family.
Join us at Tompkins High School at 10:00 am. The link to watch LIVE is on our YouTube Channel. You can go to our home page on our website or our App to connect.
God bless,
Pastor Scott

NEW MARRIAGE SERIES COMING SOON!
Starting Sunday, August 17th, we’re kicking off a brand-new three-week series called “Us > Me.” It’s all about what it looks like to build a strong marriage — one that reflects God’s design, chooses unity over pride, and learns how to stick together when life gets messy. Whether your marriage is thriving, struggling, or somewhere in between, this series is for you. Come laugh, learn, and get real with us as we figure out what it means to live Fierce Together.

A NEW CHAPTER IN OUR STUDENT MINISTRY
We want to share an important update about our Student Ministry. After two impactful years, Jinx will be stepping down as our youth pastor as we transition the role from full-time to part-time as part of our goal to move from portable to permanent. His last Sunday with us will be July 27th. This Sunday, we’ll pray over him and take up a love offering to show our appreciation — feel free to bring cash or check if you’d like to contribute.
While we’ll miss Jinx and his energy, we’re excited to welcome Jake Glass as our new Student Pastor! Jake, his wife Lori, and their daughter Daisy are part of our church family, and Jake has already been serving alongside our youth. Be sure to say hello and help us make him feel at home in this new role!

BLESSING OF THE BACKPACK
As a new school year begins, we want to cover our kids in prayer! On Sunday, August 10th, we’ll be blessing the backpacks of all our students as a symbol of God’s presence with them — in every classroom, hallway, and school bus. Have your child bring their backpack to church as we pray for wisdom, protection, and courage for the year ahead. Let’s send them back to school knowing their church family is cheering them on!

MOVING UP AND ROOTED IN THE WORD
Promotion Sunday is coming up on August 10th! All of our kids in Kindergarten through 5th grade will be moving up to their new classes in Children’s Ministry as we kick off the new school year together. Then, on Sunday, August 17th, we’ll celebrate a special milestone with our Second Grade Bible Presentation, where each 2nd grader will receive their very own Bible from the church. It’s a great time to support and encourage our kids as they grow in both knowledge and faith!
