Peace, Friends!
What does your fall season look like? Back to school. Fall garden harvest. Autumn color tour. Pumpkin patch. Halloween. Thanksgiving. Christmas. Winter vacation. New Years.
We’ve been planning ahead here at SCC preparing for a great fall season. Consider this newsletter your Fall Preview Edition. I’m going to give you a sneak peek at what great series and more are in store for you and your friends this fall.
Fall Kick-off: 3 Simple Rules
Just like back-to-school, fall is the busy season at any church. In September we’ll begin a new four-part series called 3 Simple Rules that will be church-wide and include small groups. Wouldn’t it be great if following Jesus could be as elementary as 3 simple rules? Well, the rules are simple, but following them isn’t always simple. Our big kick-off begins on September 13th. Kids Creek and StuRev will shift back into full gear for a full ministry schedule with our children and youth. As well, Group-link will be offered and will give you an opportunity to find the perfect small group to help you live out these 3 simple rules. Plan on attending worship and joining a small group for this back-to-school elementary 3 Simple Rules series.
Capital Campaign: 20 Years Deep
During the month of October and November we’re going to be wading into an exciting new adventure for Sycamore Creek Church: our first capital campaign, 20 Years Deep: A Campaign to Celebrate 10 and Plan for 10. The planning for this campaign is just beginning, so I don’t have a lot of information to give you, but the goal of the campaign is to put SCC in a good place to own a building three years from now! One of the exciting parts of this campaign will be the celebration of our 10-year anniversary on November 7th. Watch for more info coming soon.
Four Elements of Worship
Remember the periodic table of the elements? Or perhaps you’d like to forget that week of chemistry class! While you may or may not know all the elements, you’ve probably heard of at least four: carbon, hydrogen, copper, and lithium. Going into December we’ll be rediscovering these four elements and the help they give us in understanding four character traits of God: glory, holiness, mercy, and love. Worship happens most fully when the community gathers to encounter these character traits of God and respond with everything they’ve got (heart, mind, soul, strength).
That brings us up to Christmas, but I’ll keep you in anticipation for what the Christmas series is going to be. I hope to see you in worship as we learn three simple rules for following Jesus, celebrate 10 years and plan for 10, and encounter the four elements of worship. Don’t forget to bring a friend!
Peace,
Tom
