1 to Go

Hi Everyone,

Do you realize there is only 1 month to go before school starts?
I'm busy getting the next teaching series in order and making the creatives for it. And I have to be honest, I'm looking forward to it and I'm having a lot of fun. It's called Life at The U! Get ready for a great year!! I thank God for the privilege of being able to serve you and to serve with you!
A couple of things the staff will be working on this week are the fall newsletter, the welcome picnic, and ministry descriptions of various opportunities here at The Point.
Here are some items to put on your calendar if you don't already have them: August 23 after the 6:30 worship there will be a meeting of The Point of Grace family. Among other things in this meeting we will look at the opportunities that the LORD has given us and how we want to meet those opportunities with Grace. The Leadership Team is looking to gain consensus with this meeting so your input will be invaluable. Mark you calendar. There will be a meet and greet on Sept 3rd at 7pm at The Point. This is especially for the incoming students. If you can join the staff to welcome the new students that would be fantastic.
The Synod Convention was last week. The delegates decided to keep the ministerial education system in tact and keep the remaining missionaries in place. To do this they made drastic cuts in the areas of parish services, communication and technology.
Prayer calendars are also available at The Point. They are located just inside of the worship area on the clear table.
God's blessings on your week with Jesus! If not before, I will see you this weekend.

Bill
