Between Sundays: THE LORD HAS PROVIDED!

Living Hope Family,

I am beyond words as I write these lines! The Lord provided once again as we signed the papers and closed on the property yesterday. What was once commonly known in Marysville as the Karen's Event Center is now Living Hope Church...to God be the glory!!! These past 6 months have been a faith stretch for us all and what a story we will be able to look back upon the rest of our lives and say the Lord allowed us to be a part of! October is shaping up to be an extremely important and busy month for us, so please read all the new events below. This coming Sunday, we begin Acts 2 with one of the most powerful events in all of Scripture...BE THERE!

Family Membership Meeting...we are asking that ALL covenant-signed members of Living Hope Church gather together on Sunday evening, October 9th @ 6pm for an informational meeting concerning the new property. In this meeting, we will unveil the plans, time-line, etc...concerning the next steps for us as a church family. We will meet there at the new property (16701 Square Drive). We are asking that none of our small groups meet that day in lieu of this important gathering.

Father & Son Camp-Out...on October 14th, the men of Living Hope will embark on a journey that will change the course of manhood forever... A CAMPOUT! That's right, the men of Living Hope will be getting together to live in the wild, to survive nature, to withstand all the natural elements... in the Comstock's backyard. We will be cooking out, shooting guns, learning survival technicians, growing together as men of God and yes, I am pretty sure will be smelling like men too. So make sure you get signed up for this event and get ready to have a weekend away with the men. We will meet out at the Comstocks around 6pm on that Friday and will pack it all up before Lunch on Saturday. The cost of each man is $5 or you can pay $10 per family. For more questions or information feel free to email Pastor James at james@livinghopemarysville.com.

Fall Outreach...be praying and getting ready for our annual Trick or Truth fall outreach at the end of October. A mission team of 10 adults & students from the First Baptist Church of Central Florida in Orlando will be flying up here and helping us for 4 days! More details to come soon.

Thank You from the Wiley Family

Dear Living Hope Church Family,

Words fail in trying to convey to you how much we love you all and have been blessed by the love, prayers, meals, and gifts that you have so lavishly poured on us. Worshipping our risen LORD together with you the last three years has certainly bound our hearts with yours and has been sweeter than we could have ever imagined. We hope you will keep in touch with us and continue to let us be a part of what God is doing in your lives. We are so thankful that in Christ there are never any good-byes, just "see ya laters". Even these though are still painful as we know that we will not see many of you again on this earth. The apostle Peter captures our desire for your lives and Living Hope best in some of his last words before he was martyred. "...according to His promises we are waiting for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells. Therefore, beloved, since you are waiting for these, be diligent to be found by him without spot or blemish, and at peace......take care that you are not carried away by the error of lawless people and lose your own stability. But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity!! Amen" (from 2 Peter ch 3)

Be there!!!
Gerry & Carol
