Blessings in Christ,
I trust that each of you are enjoying a week of praise and staying cool in this intense heat we have been experiencing. I trust many of you found yourself blessed to have Elder Steve Hernandez lead the Worship Service last week. Of course, we pray that he is having a blessed birthday, today! I look forward to being back in the pulpit tomorrow, as it seems like it has been forever.
A few beneficial announcements & resources to share.
Tomorrow, 7/16, we will have Adult Sunday School at 9am (wherein we will continue our study through Daniel), to be followed by our Worship Service at 10:30am. If the weather is appropriate – not too hot, not wet – we will gather for Worship outside. We will also consider whether we want to go out for lunch, since we missed last week’s opportunity. However, we also have a 5th Sunday this month, so look forward to the potluck.
Also, consider reviewing our Monthly Calendar for other events and announcements. Click on the following link, https://www.bluepointbiblechurch.org/peace/?page_id=11

We began our 4 part study on Pastor Dietrich Bonhoeffer this past Friday for the Bonhoeffer & Bonfires event. I am grateful for those who joined us. Each Friday, up to the 1st Friday of August, we will gather at 7pm to go through teachings of Bonhoeffer’s and enjoy a bonfire (if the weather is appropriate). See the attached graphic & consider joining us.

Lastly, regarding our Book of Daniel study, I will attach our last two study links, which are chock full of resources. We have been going through the study in our Adult Sunday School at 9am on Sunday mornings, however, we will also invite the “online community” into our study through Zoom or call-in on Thursday, July 20th at 8pm.
