Free Burma Rangers Movie Showing – THIS Friday @ 8PM – Five Stones Fight Club is back with the Forge! Shane Manney from Five Stones will be sharing his testimony and will be hosting the showing of the movie, Free Burma Rangers at the Southside Fire Company in their outdoor pavilion (inside if weather is bad). Free Burma Rangers is a documentary film exploring the extraordinary 20-year journey of missionaries, Dave and Karen Eubank. The film follows Dave, Karen, and their three young children, as they venture into war zones where they are fighting to bring hope. Dave Eubank is a rare hero of the faith. He is a former U.S. Special Forces soldier turned missionary to conflict zones. The film is a real life adventure movie. Viewers will follow the family into firefights, heroic rescues, and experience life-changing ministry. In the midst of this unprecedented journey, you will witness amazing lessons of faith from one of the most inspiring families in the world.

Recap of Last Sunday’s Announcement – The deacons and pastors have come to the difficult decision to cancel the Wednesday evening fall
ministries for the rest of this year. They’ll be revisiting this decision in November to see if we can start things back up in January. While there are many differing opinions, we appreciate your understanding and unity as we continue to grow in our personal walk with the Lord and reach out to our
community in Christ. We’ll be starting a new sermon series soon on 1 Peter and encourage you to read through this book and take notes.

 

Blanket Collection for Africa! Locust swarms in Africa are enormous this year, causing record-breaking destruction of crops and widespread famine.

The collection point will be in the main foyer thru September.

 

American Gospel Showing at the Drive In! Thursday, August 20 @ 8:15PM – Bring friends and family to see the showing of American Gospel: Christ Alone. Is Christianity Christ + the American dream?

Featured Read of the Week (Free at the Borrow-a-Book Box & Tract Rack) – How Good is Good Enough? Surely there’s more than one way to get to heaven? Bestselling author Andy Stanley addresses this popular belief held even among Christians. But believing that all good people go to heaven raises major problems, Stanley reveals. Is goodness not rewarded, then? Is Christianity not fair? Maybe not, he says. Readers will find out why Jesus taught that goodness is not even a requirement to enter heaven – and why Christianity is beyond fair.
