This time of year there is the temptation to give into the days of summer and the summer slump schedule at church. The summer temptation to say, “Let’s go to the Lake, the Zoo, the Ballgame, etc.”, we will go next week.

Let’s make this summer different. Don’t give in to the summer slump temptation. I would encourage all of you to take the challenge. No not the water bucket challenge….the Summer Weekly Church Challenge or SWCC for short. LOL

The SWCC is to challenge yourself to be regular in worship. It is there where you will receive the benefits of forgiveness, life and salvation that your Savior won through the cross and the empty tomb. It is only through Him that your will have true PEACE this summer.
