CONNECTION FELLOWSHIPS
Connection Fellowships will begin with a leader’s meeting on August 19 at 6:30pm. If you are interested in receiving leadership training or being a leader at some point, please see Pastor Doug. Being at the leader’s meeting does not mean you will need to lead a group!
The groups will officially begin September 2 all together with a pitch-in meal in the gym at 6:30pm. The theme of the pitch in will be a summer picnic. The church will provide drinks & hot dogs. Please consider bringing a side or dessert to share.
Sign up HERE so we know how many to expect.

A NEW CONNECTION FELLOWSHIP
FOR YOUNG ADULTS
We're excited to introduce THRIVE, a Connection Fellowship for recent high school graduates, singles, and young couples not yet parents.
THRIVE exists to help young adults build Christ-centered friendships through intentional gatherings. Our desire is to create a place where friendships are formed, faith is strengthened, and Christ is honored.
Join us for our THRIVE Luncheon on Sunday, August 30, immediately following the morning service. This will be a great opportunity to enjoy lunch, learn more about the ministry, meet others in the same stage of life, and begin building meaningful friendships.
Please register HERE so we can plan for our catered lunch.

CHURCH DIRECTORY UPDATE
It’s time to renew our Church Picture/Address Directory. This is a helpful tool for us to get to know each other and love and pray for one another. Here is how you can help us update the directory:
Stop by one of the four directories (in the adult Sunday school classes, North Foyer, and Children’s Welcome Desk) and update one physical copy with any new family, address, cell phone changes.
If you want your picture changed or updated, please email a digital copy to info@lifewaybaptistchurch.org or stop by on your way out of church. We will have people available to take your picture.
We will be accepting updates and changes for the month of August. New & updated directories will be available for pick up on September 20.

MOVING HELP
We are excited to welcome back Daniel, Alayna, and Kate Overly!
They will be moving into their new home on Saturday, August 15, and could use some help unloading and unpacking their moving truck.
Because we will not know the exact time assistance will be needed until Saturday morning, we are looking for volunteers who are willing to be on standby. If you are available to help, please email info@lifewaybaptistchurch.org, and we will add you to a contact list and reach out with details on moving day.
Thank you for helping us welcome the Overly family back to Lifeway!
