Tychicus will give you a full report about how I am getting along. He is a beloved brother and faithful helper who serves with me in the Lord’s work. I have sent him to you for this very purpose—to let you know how we are doing and to encourage you. – Colossians 4:7-8

“You’ve Got a Friend in Me”

The Christian life was never meant to be lived alone. Jesus knew this, he had twelve disciples, three closer friends within those disciples, and one “best” friend in John.

Paul knew this as well. Paul was the “man out front,” leading the charge for the gospel, but Colossians 4:7-18 lists many supportive friends who loved Jesus and served Him together with Paul. What kind of friends were they? We’ll talk about it today. Pray for me. Thanks!  

Fall Kickoff and Pancake Breakfast, September 7

This year I have asked our men to prepare pancakes in lieu of our regular Café Central. The goal of our Fall Kickoff this year is to promote and invite people to our Connect Groups.

We encourage every group to have a classroom full of members and visitors that morning. Just say, “Please come with me to our pancake breakfast and Bible study on September 7.” How easy is that?

Think about it…

“Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: ‘What! You too? I thought I was the only one.” ― C.S. Lewis
