Testificari Sermon Series

When Peter comes to visit with Cornelius, he finally sees why he had seen the vision he had and he understood what it was referring to. His heart and mind are opened and he sees that Christ’s death and resurrection has extended beyond the Jews to the entire world. In this third sermon of Peter, he again bears witness to Jesus Christ, this time to a houseful of Gentiles. During this series we will be dig into Peter’s proclamation of the Gospel, both to receive it and to follow it as an example for when we are similarly called to speak about what we’ve seen and heard.

Sunday, September 1st: The Response

After Peter bears witness to the Gospel, how will the house of Cornelius respond? Peter has been faithful and obedient to the call of God, unknowing what He will do in and through Him? Will the Gentiles come to faith and be filled by the Holy Spirit? Peter doesn’t know… Join us this week as we look at the Gentile Pentecost and the change in trajectory for the entire world moving forward.

Daily Prayers, Digging Deeper Guide and coordinating Life Group Curriculum are available each week on Sunday to further explore this Sermon Series. You can find those resources (for this week and ALL previous weeks) HERE or at the Welcome Center on Sunday.

Adventure:Kids News

A reminder that this Sunday is Family Worship. While the kids in kindergarten and up are upstairs in worship, our preschoolers will continue their lessons focusing on the names of God. This week they will be learning about another name for God, Good Shepherd. 



We can't wait to see you this Sunday!

Sermon notes and challenges for families are available on the Adventure:Kids Facebook page, OR click here for a pdf version.

Connection Sunday

NEXT Sunday, September 8th

Connection Sunday is a little over a week away! Every year before we start in the fall, we take time together as our Adventure family to equip people in connecting well to our church body as a whole, to our various ministries, and to each other as individuals.

This year it will be held on September 8th after church and it will look a little different than years past. We’ll have a provided lunch in the Friendship Center which allows space for fellowship, individual connection, and breaking bread together, followed by some intentional activities that foster connection. Our hope is that this shift will allow more accessibility for all to experience connection and learn about different ways to connect at Adventure! Please come be a part of what we are doing!

SAVE THE DATE: Fall Church Clean-Up

Saturday, September 21st from 9:00am-Noon

All are welcome! Stay for as little or as long as you can and help us as we steward what God has so generously provided. More details soon, but save the date!

This section is a weekly reminder that God is Good!

He is good to us every single day & we will praise His name!

Recently Emmanuel's Clothes Closet received a bunch of donations and were overflowing with that generosity. After our Outreach Night a few months ago they had connected with a local ministry, Mercy Mobile. So in their overflow, Emmanuel's Clothes Closet reached out to see if Mercy Mobile could use some of our clothing to bless the homeless in our community, and they expressed the need for coats now that the weather is cooling off. So on Sunday the clothes closet was able to donate a bunch of coats to Mercy Mobile and help fulfill a need in our community. What a blessing it is to partner with others in our community to love those in need.

God is Good!

This space in the newsletter is a small way we continue to celebrate the goodness of God all year long, and practice being aware of His presence in our lives. So, if you have stories of God's goodness big or small, hit reply to this email and send them our way. We would love to hear them, pray in praise over them and talk to you about sharing them.

To spur your thoughts to God's goodness start by asking yourself these questions:

What Good have you witnessed recently?

What Good has God brought into your life?

What Good has God prompted you to do for one another?



God is Good!!
