EncounterFest2 and Beyond

Hey Everyone...
EncounterFest2 went Great !!!!

We want to thank the boys and Girls Club of Cypress. We had such a great time serving them, their families and staff. There was a lot of good food, good fun and good conversations.
God is definitely at work in the community and it is awesome to be a part of it!

Lets Do It Again!!!

There is also more we can do to serve the Boys and Girls Club.

ALSO........... Don't forget to bring all the bottles and cans you can get your hands on so we can provide as many warm thanksgiving meals as possible to the homeless in the area.
It is a good way to GIVETHANKS to God !!!

HEY YOU...

SO HERE IT IS:®  Friday Night Brian taught about Luke 6:11-17.  We looked at the compassion of Jesus and how He was willing to touch others considered “unclean”.  We looked at what Jesus does out of His compassion and love for people.

 

            Question:  How has Jesus’ compassion impacted your life and are there things you can do differently to share Jesus love and compassion with others?  Please comment.
