Proverbs 11:25 A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.
This verse makes me think of those that serve in our church! I don’t know about any of you, but I always feel refreshed when I see Life Church happening on Sunday morning!! It is exciting to see God at work from set up, worship, LifeKIDS teachers and kids growing closer to our creator, host team, Patrick teaching.... every aspect just amazes and renews my spirit! I think of a line in a song “Renew a right spirit in me”!

“ Refresh Others”’
This Sunday Patrick spoke of renewing and refreshing, and most of us experience this through taking a break either at work for a bit of time or even for an extended time through vacation. We are to rest in him daily though! He is the ultimate refresher and renewer! Mark 6:31 says “Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest“ It is in the word! Take some time to rest and be refreshed so we are ready to refresh others!! I never thought of it in this way! I do need to rest, and this is why!

Those who serve in the church do give of their time for others!!!
LifeKIDS is all about “others”. We strive to serve others by pouring into the lives of the kids, and at the same time allowing others to become fully devoted followers of Christ! Our LifeKIDS schedule is ideal with being able to be a part of corporate worship for 4 weeks and then serving with the kids for two weeks. Although, I do hear from some of our volunteers that they sure do miss the kids in between their volunteer days!

We have many opportunities to refresh others and I know when you do, you will in turn be refreshed and renewed yourself!!

Looking forward to seeing you Sunday,

- We are now 3 weeks into our series RE. It's been an incredible series and I'm looking forward to our final week this Sunday. We have covered: Remember, Repentance and Renew.

- In less than 2 weeks we will begin our ever popular summer series, At The Movies. This is one of the most exciting series of the year. We will look at truth found in popular movies. Each week is a one time only message, so if you miss it there is no way to go back and catch it again. We start Sunday, July 3rd!

- At The Movies is a perfect opportunity to invite friends to church. This is a very non threatening, fun, exciting environment that present the Gospel of Jesus very clearly. Be sure and invite everyone you can!

Have an awesome week!

LifeKIDS has been amazing! So much is happening and God is in control!! A few weeks ago we hit our highest week with 99 kids in attendance! That was wonderful!!! A week or so after that we didn’t have as many children but it seemed like it and one of the host team said she thought the families just kept coming in with more kids! Our volunteers just keep loving on those kids and helping them to see Jesus on their level! This past week we did a volunteer drive and I am excited to say that as God grows the number of children he continues to provide volunteers as well!

We had a fun kick off this week with our new series “To The Depths” curriculum for our pre-K through fourth grade classes and brought in a real slushy machine for the kids!!! It was perfect for the heat we have been experiencing around here lately! The All-Stars have been enjoying playing Marco Polo in class and the Motion class have had fun fishing for their scripture!

The Loop class took part in one of our outreach projects this past Saturday and brought “free” quarters to feed the machines at the laundry mats in town. People were so surprised to be given money and it touched both the givers and receivers! What a blessing it is to see these kids be the hands and feet of Jesus!

It gives me great joy to serve this group of families, volunteers and kids! I am so glad God has me here at such a time as this!

Have a great week,
Lisa

One of our awesome volunteers made this video to promote our fast growing Mens Life group that meets Tuesday mornings at the Sunset in Franklin. If you are a guy you need to check this out!

- Our new series "RE" began yesterday with a great message on remembering what God has done in your life. What a great reminder that we need to write down and remember God's faithfulness in our lives.

- We had our first ever Life Groups picnic last night with all our groups attending. It was a ridiculous amount of fun. Life Groups are really about doing life together, exploring faith and learning who Jesus really is through His word.

- Here's a look at the picnic:


- If you haven't joined one, I'd really encourage you to try a Life Group.

- What a great weekend! Our worship pastor Jason Nicholas took the reigns this past Sunday and team taught with Craig Groeschel from LifeChurch.tv for an awesome message. I have to say I'm so grateful for such a great staff and group of volunteers that help make LCF such a great local church.

- Even with the Memorial Day weekend activities the turnout for worship was huge! I love that people don't want to miss worshiping together and learning from God's word. I actually heard a story of a teenager from LCF who got pretty made about missing church a few months ago!

- We are starting a new series this Sunday called RE.
Here's a glimpse of what to expect:
Souls refreshed. Relationships restored. Hearts reborn. God is the author of incredible stories of change, and is ready to do the same in our lives. Learn how we can open the door to transformation in our upcoming series, RE.

- Don't forget to return the Coins for Christ piggy banks that we are collecting for our Servolution team missions work. You can bring them back this Sunday!
