Two events over the past few weeks have caused our city to pause and consider the reality that every day could be your last day. There is no guarantee that tomorrow will be like this one.
"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For as we share abundantly in Christ’s sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too." (2 Cor. 1:3-4 ESV)
A few of our small groups joined forces last week to create one big "super" small group. We heard from Steve Shank, Western Regional Leader for our denomination. We sang, we prayed for our church, we ate yummy food.
Join the women of Sovereign Grace Church for 2 days of friendship, study, and rest. Women 18 years and older who attend our church regularly are invited. Meals included. Financial assistance available. Let's grow together into a community of women who help other women.

But! To those willing to wrestle, I humbly submit four ideas to hang your thoughts on.

Each year we battle every the other groups in California for a summer campsite at Refugio State Beach. Some years we get great dates. Some years not so great. This year we've been able secure a Monday through Thursday reservation.
That's Labor Day (Monday) through Thursday. Not exactly the best time for everyone to take vacation. And with this in mind, we'd need to hear from you. Would you go? No commitment right now. Just help us decide if we should go for it or not.
Some info for the newbies: The cost is approx. $100 per household, there's no agenda, the beach and fellowship are to die for :)
This past Sunday we celebrated our newest church members. They are gifts from God to us, people who will enrich our lives and make us a stronger. May Jesus be glorified as we love one another as the family of God.
