On June 19, over 60 people interested in the launch of our new 11:00 worship service attended a breakfast gathering. At that gathering 28 people committed to attending the 11:00 worship service regularly when it begins in September. In addition, 10 people agreed to attend as "missionaries" from other worship services for 3 to 6 months. Six others who attended the event indicated that they are prayerfully considering whether or not to commit to attending the new worship service.
If you intend to support the new worship service with your attendance, and you have not yet made that commitment, please contact me HERE.
As we move forward in planning for the worship service, I give thanks to God for the people who are stepping up to form the core of this new congregation. I have never started a worship service from "scratch" nor been a part of a new congregation. I am very excited about the possibilities ahead.
There is much to do this summer and I encourage you to take part in some way in the development and creation of the 11:00 worship service and its congregation.
- Continue to pray for the new congregation and its leaders
- Encourage musicians to contact Mike Tooman at mike@brightonfumc.org. This includes musicians who are not connected with our church, but would love to play in a band.
- Actively seek to invite friends and neighbors to come to a preview of the worship service on Sunday, July 24 or August 21 at 11:00 a.m.
- Attend Worship Launch Gatherings on July 17 and August 7 at 10:45 for more information.
