Pastor Mark Bryant
PastorI want to take another opportunity to say thank you to our church family for your
prayers, cards, emails, texts and Facebook responses when my dad went to be with the
Lord. It reminded me once again how incredible God is and how effective His plan is as
the body of Christ ministers in this life. I had lost my grandparents and some very close
friends through the years but losing a parent has been a very different experience. So
I want to say for myself, Tonda and the rest of my family, you have blessed us in many
different ways and words cannot describe how blessed we have been.
In retrospect, I have to say that this loss has given me a clearer understanding
regarding the Sermon Series that will begin in September. In June I was praying, ”Lord
show me what You want me to say”. In the days that followed there were two verses
that constantly came to my mind. (Colossians 3:2 and Matthew 25:34-46). The focus
of the series will be Next Level Living. We will listen to what the Word of God has to
say about Jesus influencing our lives so that we live at the next level.
I know that the summer break has been hectic, but I am praying that we will all get
back into the habit (a good habit) of gathering together to worship and study God’s
word. I want to remind you that we have adjusted the Sunday evening worship time.
We will begin worship Sunday evenings at 6:00 pm. This is an excellent opportunity
to be a part of another time of corporate worship. We will also be opening the
ROC after the evening services to play volleyball or basketball and to spend time
fellowshipping together. I am praying you will take advantage of this opportunity.
Last but not least, I want to share a brief word about our youth ministry. First, I want
to emphasize we have no plans to merge Middle School and High School youth
groups. That idea has never been a consideration. Heath will be providing leadership
and oversight for both youth groups as we prayerfully search for our next Middle
School Pastor. In this time of transition, we are encouraging parents in both divisions
to step up alongside of Heath and Karen to help them as we move ahead. Pray for
Heath and Karen as well as praying for the individual the Lord has already begun to
prepare for the middle school ministry.
Be Blessed! Mark
