Hey Friends,

Summer is here and school is just about out. Summer is when we slip into the slump of lazy days of hanging around. We all need some rest and a vacation. We need down time. As Christ-followers we can see Jesus take time away. It is critical if we are going to stay sane. I hope you can take some time to unwind from the rat race and enjoy our Lord.

Some thoughts as we plan to disconnect:

1. Don’t disconnect from Christ’s Body – the Church. Summer is a great time to win the lost and see some great victories. If you are a part of the FPC family you can take us on vacation with you by visiting our Internet Campus. It is key that you stay connected.

2. Don’t disconnect from your small group. It is harder to meet in the summer. Plan some outings, cook out, go the the lake. Don’t skip the saints in the summer.

3. Don’t disconnect from your spiritual growth plan. Summer is a time to catch up on reading or Scripture memory. I am a little behind, O.K. a lot, but I will catch up.

4. Don’t disconnect from ministry. The church will continue through the summer and you are a vital part. Lives still hang in the balance.

Churches and saints prepare for a summer slump. We are going to keep growing and reaching people. We are going to have our best summer ever.  A bold declaration of faith – see my blog from yesterday!

Hope you enjoy your summer and you experience the greatest spurt in your spiritual growth to date. Be blessed and let’s turn the heat up.

Just a thought,

Pastor Chris
