A Look at the Second Half

Our first six months as the Cumberland Trace church of Christ are in the rearview mirror. Truly, a lot has happened to and for us as a church during that span. Not just the apocalyptic weather events and baptistery malfunctions, but so many wonderful events! There have been souls saved, our highly successful Equipped workshop, our Friends and Family Day, and a slew of visitors and new faces.

As we look ahead to the second half of the year, we have some incredible opportunities. These constitute ways to be involved, encouraged, and excuses to invite others to visit.

• July 12th–door knocking for our Vacation Bible School
• July 13th-16th–Vacation Bible School
• August 22nd-24th–Free Marriage Seminar with John and Carla Moore (for all members and guests from the community)
• August 24th PM–Question And Answer Session with Neal and Hiram
• October 18th–Trunk Or Treat & Chili Cook-Off (at the church building)
• October 24th-25th–Cumberland Trace Family Retreat (Big Reedy Christian Camp) (Guest speaker: Tim Lewis)
• October 26th PM–Question And Answer Session with Neal and Hiram
• November 30th PM–Neal And Hiram Discuss The Bible
• December 28th PM–Question And Answer Session with Neal and Hiram

This is in addition to a host of other fellowship activities that take place every month, like the “Cultivating Connections” Ladies Class (last Tuesday of each month) , the monthly “Young At Heart” meeting, and the Friday night singing (first Friday of each month). There are ways to be involved with the CREW young adults program, several youth activities from now to the end of December, and other activities that seem to pop up on the calendar. What can you do?

• Attend (much time, money, and effort are going into these events; see it as “yours”) •
• Invite (see everything as an evangelistic opportunity)
• Engage (submit questions to Hiram and me; bring your interest and enthusiasm to each event; help in some way)
• Pray (that God will use every activity to help people go to heaven

With every activity and event, to God be the glory!
