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, 8/30, 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 by 8/24 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 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.
