Community Groups kicked back into high gear last month after the August break, including several new or reorganized group. The most significant change has been the creation of 3 new CGs designed for single adults as part of our Resolved ministry. Tim & Gail Emerson, who lead one of the singles CGs, shared the following encouraging testimony with me from a recent meeting!
“Our new singles community group has been meeting for a few weeks now. We’ve been excited to see God at work, especially around the Resolved message series, and the idea of thinking rightly about God. A few weeks ago we met to discuss Keith’s message on the Holiness of God. Thinking about God’s majesty, I was convicted that my life was spent more focusing on the shiny trinkets of life. We ended up praying for the last 15 minutes of the meeting that God would reveal himself to us. It seemed like everyone left wanted to know God in a deeper way.
Last week we one of the members asked for prayer that they would know God personally and not just intellectually. We had a good discussion on how God wants to reveal himself to us in our day-to-day lives. We’re praying that God continues to work in our hearts, and we’re looking forward to seeing what he does over the next few months.”
Thanks for your leadership, Tim!

During my first few weeks as a summer intern at Kingsway, I was welcomed to the office with all the kindness and care that you would expect from your church staff, by having my desk pranked and half of my lunch stolen. After being assured that this was a sign of affection, I was able to settle in and Matthew got me started on my summer reading list, which was heavy on theologically rich christian classics like Stephen Covey’s “7 Habits of Highly Effective People.”
My work varies from week to week, but pretty regularly includes making progress on my book list, studying different issues in scripture and asking lots of questions, whether it’s to a pastor about church doctrine, or to a receptionist about how the phones work. As an intern, I’m not given total responsibility over any specific “sphere” of the church, but rather I get to come alongside and play a support role in different ministries that go on over the summer. For example, I was given the job of helping to administrate a portion of the worship team banquet earlier this summer, and I’ve been able to participate in a weekly study of the book, “Just Do Something” with Matthew and some dudes from the church. I also spent time developing and conducting a “good neighbor” survey for the neighborhood behind our building, which gave me a chance to interact with folks and see what they think about “the church down the street.”
Overall, this internship has been a humbling taste of how God’s power and grace make service for Him an experience of rich blessing and encouragement to our own souls. I thank God for His kindness and for this church. Thanks for your support, and God bless you all.
Thanks for your prayers during our time away this week! Please continue to pray that the Lord would give us clarity, insight, and wisdom into how He desires His church to be led.
Also, that God would help us to accomplish all that He desires for us during our time away. For instance, you can see in this picture that Doug has some deep rooted anger issues that we’d love to get to the bottom of. You can’t imagine the tension and angst this brings to the whole group dynamic. Keep praying!
