Loving One Another, the second part of our vision statement, is an emphasis my family and I have been blessed by in big and small ways by the body of Christ at SGC over the years. Perhaps you have been too. But it's easy to forget when life gets busy or when we're struggling.

When Mark Prater preached on Gospel Growth a few weeks ago, he mentioned our church vision: Loving God, Loving One Another, Loving Our Neighbor. As Mark talked about our vision statement, I was filled with an intense reminder of how much this church means to me and why.

Sometimes it's helpful to know what's coming with our Sunday sermons. In case you want to read ahead in the Bible or plan a Sunday to invite a guest, we wanted to pass along what's coming. Here's our schedule, understanding that the Lord often has plans different than ours!

The college group (CG) is an outreach-focused small group within Sovereign Grace Church. We believe that as young men and women we are called to "go and make disciples" (Matt. 28:19).

War, romance, anger, depression, dancing, judgment—it's the stuff of history, especially Old Testament history in 1-2 Samuel and 1-2 Kings where we will be for our new sermon series beginning in September. Here are some over-arching aspects of this exciting history.

Last week a few of us from SGC went to the SG Worship God East conference, Called to Be Faithful, with about a thousand other people from inside and outside of Sovereign Grace Ministries....The conference was a great time of instruction, fellowship, worship, and all the joys a 9-hour road trip can bring!

Michelle Alston wrote a testimony that wonderfully captures how God meets us in a variety of ways through the body of Christ. Sometimes that grace comes to us through a counselor, sometimes a patient friend, sometimes a friend who gives an afternoon to fix our car, and sometimes through singing hymns with our brothers and sisters in Christ. All of that is the body of Christ in action and the grace that comes from it!

Over the last months, and years, our youth leaders and pastors have been prayerfully considering changes to our youth ministries to make them more effective. This includes our Sunday children's ministry and our youth group(s). We believe we have found the will of the Lord for our church for the foreseeable future.
