During the summer, I spend time planning for the fall.  According to the Office of US Personnel Management, "Planning" means setting performance expectations and goals for groups and individuals to channel their efforts toward achieving organizational objectives.  It also includes the measures that will be used to determine whether expectations and goals are being met.  That’s just a fancy way to say that during the summer I spend some intentional time preparing for the fall. 

I’d like to share with you some of what’s coming up later in the year. Beginning September 7, I will be teaching the Wednesday afternoon and evening Bible study on the Shelter of God’s Promises.   God is the only promise maker who is always a promise keeper.  For 10 weeks we will explore the scriptures uncovering what God has promised us. 

Starting Sunday, September 11, Confirmation Class will meet in the office conference room at 9:45 am.  The members of the class will be confirmed on Sunday, October 16^th during the 10:55 am Worship Service. This class is for those that are in 6th grade or higher and have never been through the class.

This fall in Soul-utions, we will be looking at the spiritual treatment plan for the chronic life.  For those of us who find ourselves in the grips of unhealthy, chronic patterns, this plan will provide us with the opportunity to begin our recovery.  

I have high expectations for a fall filled with spiritual growth and fellowship with other believers.  So what is your plan for the rest of this year????  I pray that by sharing my plans with you it may help you start planning for your fall. 

Aim HIGH!
