I’m here to tell you our “Keep Growing” studies have been wonderful! In our first lesson Amy Jo gave us an excellent lesson from Philemon on how we grow in grace and peace as we show compassion for others. This past week Mikki taught us what Biblical encouragement looks like. I don’t know about you but I’ve never thought about Biblical encouragement. Both lessons reminded us that we are called to extend Jesus’ love to our brothers and sisters in Christ; that is done through our acts of compassion and encouragement.

If you haven’t joined us yet we hope you will clear your calendar for next Friday so you can be a part of “What’s Next”.

This will be our final lesson for this month. We will come back together August 16th and 23rd.

EXCITING NEWS-SAVE THE DATE

We have a special event planned for Friday, August 30th. We will be traveling to Lexington (can you say BBQ?) to launch a new Chapter of Heart2Heart! We will be organizing a carpool from the Charlotte/Iron Station area. If you are able we would love for you to join us and help welcome our new Heart2Heart sisters. We will be posting more info early August so keep watching.

Grace and Peace,

You don’t need me to tell you…it’s summertime in Carolina.

Amy Jo and I were at the farmers market a couple weeks ago. Visiting the vegetable stands and admiring the beautiful produce gave me an appetite for a good ol’ tomato sandwich.

The days of summer tend to change our lifestyles, we become more “laid back”, less intentional. There is one area however in which we do not want to become lackadaisical, that is in our attention to and hunger for God’s Word.

Heart2Heart is excited to once again bring you the “Keep Growing” Bible Study Series. As you will see in the flier posted below we have planned some exciting and thoughtful lessons for you. We invite you to join us as often as you are able.

Until then,
Sandra
