Dear
Fellow Servant, “I saw the face of God and
survived” If
you were in worship this past Sunday you know what this means.
I value your presence, whether you were in the building or on
the Internet; I appreciate your walking with me as I worked
through that message. I want to commend the men for “holding
it down” in a mighty way. Dr. Leo Davis always does an
excellent job and I am continuously blessed to witness
it. Our
worship service at the Midtown campus will be abbreviated
beginning this Sunday,
July 4. Don’t
dress up! Come in your cook-out ready attire so that when you
leave worship you are already dressed for relaxation. We
recognize that it is a holiday and we will respect your desire
to connect with family and friends. However because the devil
doesn’t take holidays, we want to make sure you get the
celebration started with the Word. Come out and help me kick
off our summer series, “Seven Deadly Sins”. I
can’t wait to share this liberating message with
you. If
you haven’t heard, we are giving away a few
“tools” to help your summer sizzle including some very nice barbecue grills at both locations. You must be present to
win. Come early and we promise to get you out
early. If you are
unable to attend Sunday you can watch our live stream online
at www.theblvd.org. While you are
there please remember to generously support the ministry with
your tithes and offerings by clicking the “donate”
button. I
am excited about Wednesdays in July
because I am taking the opportunity to teach about and explore
the life of John the Baptist. I love teaching and discovering
truths as well as uncovering myths about the great leaders in
the Bible. If you are ready to go on this journey with me come
out next Wednesday and each Wednesday in July for “That’s Just My Cousin
John”. In the words of the younger crowd, “It’s going to
be hot”. In
closing today I want to send a special shout out to THE BLVD East as they
begin their new Life
Groups. If you are interested in joining the group, there
will be a meeting following worship on July 11. I also want
to congratulate all of the Boulevard Facebook Family
(our BFFs) for
reaching our 1000+ friends goal before July 4. The total
number now is almost 1020. If
you haven’t joined yet, check it
out. Remember
to tune in to 15 Minutes of Faith Wednesdays at 6PM on 95.7.
Remember to come out on Wednesday at 7PM for Mid-week Worship
or watch our Live Stream online and don’t miss the
opportunity to worship with us this week. I
look forward to seeing you this Sunday! |
