Good Summer
I must begin the Touching Base today by commending you for your faithfulness. Your love for Venice Church is displayed in an awesome way by your attendance and giving. Our attendance has been very good this summer and God has provided for us in wonderful ways and He has used you to accomplish it. Your faithfulness to give has allowed us to pay down principal on our building loan and make some improvements to our property like the new sign that will be installed in the coming weeks and some much needed renovation to our offices that will begin very soon.
In addition, we have had many first time visitors this summer and the ones that I have spoken to have all commented on how friendly you are and how “it feels like family” here at Venice. It would be easy to say that is how it should be, but I know that not all churches are as warm and friendly as ours. Thank you for loving and caring for each other. Thank you for welcoming our guests with such hospitality.
There is a long list of upcoming events below, but let me remind you of a couple that are coming up fast.
Sunday September 14th Jerry Thorpe will be here to speak to us. Jerry is a vibrant communicator and I know that you will enjoy hearing him. It will be a great day to bring a friend. Let me encourage you to come a little bit early and enjoy a drink in our coffee bar. Every drink that day will be served in a complimentary Venice Church mug that will be yours to keep. Come of the fellowship and take home a free mug.
That evening at 5:00 PM Jerry will be speaking all of the leaders and ministers of Venice at a Leadership Seminar. Dessert will be served and I know that Jerry will inspire you and encourage you in your service to God and Venice Church. Child care will be provided.
And…men…the road trip is coming up. Get signed up and paid up at the information center this week. Guys, it will be a blast. You don’t want to miss this great trip.
