His Grace Our Hope

Hi,

This weekend we will be continuing our teaching series on the Lord's Prayer entitled, "His Grace Our Hope." Our specific emphasis this weekend is "your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven." It is going to be really cool to see what God's will is for our lives. Worship times are 10:30 am or 6:30 pm. this Sunday.

This Saturday is the 4th of July. As we celebrate our independence with cookouts, fireworks and fun I encourage you to celebrate safely. And as we celebrate our nation freedom, please don't forget to celebrate our freedom won for us by Jesus Christ. Feel free to go nuts over this one. It's going to last forever!

I already had two really cool meetings this week. One with Tom Trapp, the campus pastor at UW and one with Dan Oberer, pastor at Hope in Farmington, MN. What a neat thing to explore God's Word and ministry with these two guys. Keep them, their families and their ministries in your prayers. Just a reminder you can send your prayer requests to pray@tpog.net.

Mike Westendorf is back after two mini-tours, one to southwestern Minnesota and one to the Pacific Northwest. It is amazing what God will do as we make it our goal not to bless ourselves but to bless others. When you get a chance, talk with Mike. He has more than one "God story" to share.

As pastor at The Point, I want to thank all of you for all that you do to make The Point a place where Jesus meets all people. I hope you are enjoying the journey as much as I am! It is so great an honor to be connected with you and God's ministry here at The Point.

I have to share with you a YEAH GOD moment. I received a phone call yesterday (Tuesday) informing us that The Point of Grace is the recipient of an award: The 2009 Best of Milwaukee Place of Worship. Join with me in shouting - YEAH GOD!

A reminder to wrap up: The DVD focusing on The Point of Grace will be shot on Sunday, July 12. We will be having a cook out at 5 pm and follow that up with our worship service.

See you at worship!

Bill
