Hello, Friends and Family! Thanks for stopping here to learn what’s happening at Revolution Church this week:
Songs today were “Your Grace Is Enough”, “The Stand”, “God Did It”, “We Fall Down”, “In Christ Alone” and “Create in Me a Clean Heart”. Today’s message, “Blasphemy”, was delivered by Pastor Billy using text from Romans 2:17-29. (You can watch this and past messages by going to the home page and clicking WATCH.)
Parents’ Afternoon Out was today after service. Joe and Jamie and their volunteers put on an educational and super fun pizza lunch event for the little ones. Thanks to all who attended and to all who helped make it successful!
Ladies, Penny Knott will be leading a Bible Discipleship class beginning in the fall. You can preview the book, “Women of Noble Character” at the Connect Table. Info for ordering is available on the church website by clicking “Ladies’ Fall Study”. Cost is $44 for the book.
Summer Connect group meets at the Burnett home in Elwood on July 18th, 1 pm. Their pool will be open, so bring swimsuits and towels if you wish. This is potluck, so make your favorite dish to pass. Today is the final day to RSVP as we must be courteous to our hosts so they can plan the seating and the meat to purchase.
August 9 after service is a Fall Brunch planning meeting for interested ladies. There will be light snack provided.
Who wants to take a turn keeping the church safe during service? Speak with Jason Hippenhammer who is seeking helpers for the Security Team.
Deeper online podcast is Tuesday at 6:30 pm. This week’s topic is “Cussing/Swearing/Coarse Joking”.
Happy Birthday to Samantha Getty! Happy Birthday wishes going across the miles to Penny’s stepmom, Bobbie Stack, who watches our services from WA! Enjoy your birthday week, ladies!
Have a blessed week! We appreciate all you do to keep this church functioning smoothly.
