Men's Ministry This Sunday

Last week it was the Women’s Ministry in the spotlight and this week Men’s Ministry comes to the fore.

This Sunday, May 3rd, we have our end of season BBQ at Bob Tripp’s house immediately following the worship service. It will be a great time. We always have outstanding food. Richie Henson will wrap up our season-long prayer curriculum and you will get all of the 411 on the upcoming Men’s Ministry Road Trip and season. I will look forward to seeing you all there. As always you can find Men’s Ministry info at there blog at http://www.venicemensministry.blogspot.com/.

The following Sunday, May 10th, is Mother’s Day. Don’t forget to honor your mom, wife, and mother of your children on that special day. We will be honoring all of the moms in our worship service.

And finally…on Father’s Day, June 24th, we are encouraging everybody (men, women, boys & girls) to wear their favorite sports jersey or shirt to the service. We are giving away a family four pack of Dodger tickets in the all-you-can-eat pavilion (plus parking) to one lucky dad in attendance that day.

For Women Only

Hey! How are you doing?


This Saturday at 10:00 AM is our Women’s Ministry Career Building Seminar. Our speakers will share these topics: prayer, leadership, goal setting, & discipline. Our speakers will share these topics in the context of home, work, and church.


If you have not signed up and you are planning to attend, please respond to this email. We are preparing a light breakfast and gift for each lady in attendance. The cost is $5.00 per person.


If you are an amazing woman and have all of these areas of your life together already…just come and enjoy the fellowship with the other ladies of Venice that are struggling.


With Love,

Amy

Rejoice!

I am rejoicing over the wonderful blessings of this past weekend! We had a total attendance of 360 in our three services and we handed out over 50 gift bags to first time visitors. Some of our visitors have already expressed a desire to come back again. We praise God for His wonderful works. We continue to pray that God would call many into His family and into our church family.

Special thanks to our Communication Team for their smarts and hard work in promoting our Easter services. We are truly blessed to have so many talented people using their talent for God.

Over the last couple of days our Panama Missions Team has returned home safely. We can look forward to hearing their stories and testimonies over the coming weeks.
There is so much exciting stuff going on that it is difficult to contain myself. It is a joy to share in all of it with you. I look forward to all that God has planned for us here at Venice Church.

This Sunday we begin a new series called Leaving a Lasting Legacy. I look forward to seeing you then.

Doorhangers!

It is Easter week. Many of you probably already know this because you got an Easter Service invite on your front door! (The attached picture is from the Cope's home.) Please continue to pray over the next few days as 25,000 households are invited to our services this weekend. Pray that many will attend and that God will call some to faith in Christ and into His family.

If you did not get a door hanger…here is this week’s lineup. There will be a Good Friday Service @ 7:00 PM. Studio Green (nursery) and Studio Blue will be open on Friday night. We will have two services on Easter Sunday at 9:00 & 10:45 AM. Rockstars will run during both services.

Our Panama Missions Team will be in Panama until Sunday. Please pray for their safety and that God will continue to work through them. We look forward to a wonderful report upon their return.

It is an exciting week. I am thrilled to be sharing it with you.
