Hello,
Thank you for all of your prayers and support so far.  

There will be several upcoming church planting events in the weeks and months to come.  

• You are all invited to Brookside (36th and Kalamazoo) Sunday, Aug. 16 for a mini-presentation called, “Why Church Planting, Why Brookside, What’s the Plan So Far?” We will be meeting briefly between services from 10:15-10:22. I’ll be available for questions and comments after the 10:30 service.  

• On Sunday, Aug. 23 A local church plant is holding it’s first service geared specifically for launch team members. I spoke with Randy, the pastor, and they would love if we joined them for that service. There’s a lot we can learn from them.  

• Be on the lookout for a church planting table at Brookside’s Ministry Fair on Sunday, Sept 13. More to come later.   God has blessed us with a lot of really great ideas for how best to reach new people for him. We ask that you pray for us now as we define further just where God is leading us.   If any of you would like to hear more specifics, feel free to call me (Dirk) at 635.7005 or stop by Brookside for a visit. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~   If you know someone who would like to receive these updates respond to this email with "add: (email address) in the subject line.
