What's Happening
PRAY FOR OUR STUDENTS AT BREAKAWAY
July 10–14, 6:00 p.m., Asheville, North Carolina
For BREAKAWAY 2023, we are headed to Asheville for Student Life Camp from July 10–14, 2023. Grant Staubs is the camp pastor, and The Exchange Worship will be leading us in worship. At camp, we are going to unpack one of the world's greatest mysteries, the Holy Trinity. We will be diving into the identity of God through the Father, the Son and Holy Spirit. As we learn about the Trinity, we will discover more about who God is, and as people made in the image of God, who we are. Please pray for the 147 students and leaders who will be attending Breakaway this week.

SUMMER BOOK REVIEW
Monday, July 24, 10:00 am, 100 West
Please join us for the Summer Book Review on Monday, July 24 at 10:00 a.m. in room 100 West. Dr. Andrea Mullins will review the book We Really Do Need Each Other by Reuben Welch. This is a beautifully written book leading readers to understand "that in Christ we belong together, and we really do need each other." When Welch, a Greek professor, became a college chaplain, the themes of First John–life, light, love–took on new meaning. Our pastor's sermon series on 1 John provides a perfect context for us to explore what it means that we share a common life in Jesus.
