Welcome Team
Do you love meeting new people? If a warm smile and friendly eye contact come naturally to you, we'd love for you to serve with the Welcome Team!

One sweet blessing of being in our new building has been seeing more new faces walk through our doors each Sunday! In just the first few services, our Welcome Team has had more opportunities than usual to connect with guests who are looking to learn more about the church and get connected. To help serve these newcomers well, we're looking to add a few more people to our Welcome Team. Please reach out to our hospitality deacons if interested: Alyssa Brewer lyssa.brew@gmail.com or Andy Schmitt andyschmitt17@gmail.com

NEW: Midweek Manna, Elders & Staff Edition. This week from Pam:

• The Deep Dish: Time Management Wisdom Every day, we face choices about how to invest our time—deciding what to say yes to and what to decline. I found this episode incredibly helpful. Courtney Doctor and Melissa Kruger share practical guidelines and wisdom for making intentional, wise choices with our daily schedules.

• Java with Juli: Why Sex Feels Hard (& How to Make it Amazing Again) I HATE the title, but don't let it dissuade you from listening. I love Juli Slattery's insights into marriages where one spouse struggles with or even dreads physical intimacy. She does an excellent job explaining the underlying reasons, offering hope, and providing practical next steps. If this is your reality, please know you are definitely not alone.
