A Note from Todd Haymans
Hello Church Family!
As I think back on all that’s happened this past Summer, I can’t help but smile at God’s faithfulness. We have seen many people give their life to Christ through VBS, camps, mission trips, Sunday mornings, outreach initiatives, personal conversations, and more. The Lord has also impressed upon many to draw near to Him and take their next step of obedience. As we wrap up this summer season and enter a new Fall rhythm, I want to challenge you to consider finding your spot here at Green Acres. Perhaps you have been traveling and are now settling back in. Perhaps your child will begin a new school year. New seasons mean new rhythms and we desire to be a part of your life. We want to help you find community, join a Connect Group, pray with you, help you find a way to serve, be discipled, and cheer for you as you disciple others. Consider stopping for a moment to ask God to reveal what He’s calling you to do next. I believe He will answer that prayer.
This Sunday, we are delighted to have Dr. Richard Blackaby in the pulpit. Dr. Blackaby is a respected author, speaker, and leader, known around the world for his deep commitment to helping people experience God in fresh and powerful ways. As the president of Blackaby Ministries International and co-author of Experiencing God, he has encouraged countless believers to grow in their relationship with Christ and respond to God’s call with faith and obedience.
We are truly blessed to have him with us this Sunday to share from God’s Word. His wisdom and insight have been a source of inspiration to churches, leaders, and individuals across the globe.
Lastly, take a look at some exciting gatherings happening over the next few weeks:
Multiply Conference
Join us for the Multiply Conference on Sunday, August 10, at 4:00 PM! This conference is designed to encourage and equip leaders across our church family as we step into a new season of ministry together!
Whether you’re currently serving or exploring where God might be calling you to serve, this night is for you. Come be inspired through prayer, vision-casting, and fellowship with other leaders in our church. Sign up HERE today!
Promotion Sunday
On Sunday, August 17, our Kids and Student Ministries will celebrate Promotion Sunday! Students will move up to their new grades, meet their new teachers, and begin a new year of discipleship and fun.
Prayer Gathering
Beginning Wednesday, August 20, we’ll gather every week from 6–7 PM in the Worship Center for a focused time of corporate prayer. As a church, we want to be a people who are desperate for His Spirit, hungry for revival, and aligned with the mission of Christ. Bring your Bible. Bring your burdens. Bring your faith and come seek the Lord with us.
Starting Point
Are you new to Green Acres or considering church membership? Starting Point is the perfect next step! This brunch is designed to help you get to know who we are — our heart, our mission, and our values as a church family. Our next Starting Point brunch will be on Sunday, August 24, at 9:30 AM in Crosswalk C, located just above the café. This is a free event; we just want to know you’re coming. Please register HERE.
