Doug and I begin coaching another U-8 soccer team tonight. We will have all new children and parents that we will be connecting with.

Pastor Noel Meyers from Gearhartville Free Methodist Church contacted all the pastors in the area to have a community wide outreach to encourage people to get back to church. We are excited about this. It will be good to partner with the other churches to reach lost people.

This has also opened up an opportunity for us to advertise on Qwik Rock radio station. It is a secular station. We will be doing an interview along with 10 spot ads.

The Well

Hi Everyone!

Today we will be walking the neighborhoods with bottles of cold water and pop to once again invite people to the preview service.

Sept. 1st we will be walking the neighborhoods again to give out water and pop and continue to make contact with people in the community. Sept. 15th we will be hitting the local laundromats to give quarters out and talk with people.

Doug and I will also be coaching another soccer team this fall. We have a soccer meeting on Tuesday. Pray for the parents/children and the people of the association that we would be able to be Christ to.

Thanks for your support. This is vital to the ministry that God has for us. We are in this together. We so much appreciate you all!

Love,

Karen and Doug

July 18th Preview service @ The Well

Hi Everyone!

I hope you are able to stay cool. It sure is hot out there. :-) We are sponsoring a concert with the band "A Day Awaits" on Friday July 16th at 6:00 p.m. Pray that God will bring people out to hear the message that the band will be sharing.

Our first preview service is July 18th at 11:00 a.m. We are working hard to get everything together so that the service will be a good representation of The Well but most importantly that we will represent our Lord and Savior well.

Pray that God would raise up people to help us with junior church and nursery. We don't want our team to get burned out. We are also trying to plan our next preview service. With our team involved in mission trips to Haiti, York Mission and The Bridge we are scrambling for a date in August. If any of you would be willing to help us we would greatly appreciate it. We need help in a lot of areas - even if you would volunteer for 1 Sunday it would help. We are looking at August 22nd or the 29th for our next preview service. We are hoping to begin weekly services the end of Sept. Pray that God would raise up workers in the community to help us.

Thanks for your continued prayer. We can't thank you enough for your faithfulness.

Love, Karen and Doug

Live The Adventure

Church planting really is an incredible adventure, and there are a variety of ways you can join in this hard but exciting work:

...by praying

• for the multiplication of believers, leaders & churches;

• for current plants, planters, and mother churches;

• for God to raise up new planters and mother churches...

...by affirming publicly the need, value, and mission of church planting...

...by raising corporate awareness by promoting current church plants and planters...

...by providing various resources to current and future church plants...

...by giving/using permission to take part as a church planter, launch team member or other participant.

How will you take part in the adventure?
