Hello, Church!

Tomorrow, I head to Las Vegas for a few days of vacation. Before you get too jealous, keep in mind that the temperature there is expected to reach 115 degrees!

My trip also means that this Sunday will be a special morning of worship. You will have the opportunity to see and experience God’s Country Community Ministries through the eyes of our South Lyon mission team. We have created a special sermon video that shares what the team experienced, the work they accomplished, and the ways they were changed through serving others. We hope you’ll join us for this meaningful morning of worship.

I also want to offer a note about a change to our church doors. A few months ago, we adjusted some of our procedures to help keep our building safe and secure. Until now, Janis has remained at the back door to let people inside for up to 15 minutes after worship begins. Going forward, she will be at that door until worship starts, but the door will be locked once the service begins.

If you plan to enter through the back door, please arrive before worship starts. After that time, we ask that you enter through the front doors. Thank you for helping us keep our church safe while remaining a welcoming place for everyone.



Have a wonderful week, and I look forward to seeing you when I return!

Pastor Nick
