Service Time Change
Due to the changing of work schedules, our services will now be Sundays @ 10:30am - 12:30pm. The next service time will be October 31st. This change shows the heart and the commitment of the church. People would rather not get up early on a Sunday, but were willing to do so in order to allow more people to come to The Grove. This is advocacy at its finest!

Tour De Fat
Part of our mission is "Living Out" and we did this at Tour De Fat. Decked out in THE GROVE t-shirts and carrying a banner, we rode the five mile loop around town on our bikes. We had a few conversations and passed out a few fliers, but more than that we did what the Bible says, ... "Go Forth..." I am so honored to be a part of a church that cares about the community!

Beth Moore Women's Study!
Hey everyone!
We are going to be starting a women's study this Wednesday. We will be studying Beth Moore's Esther: It's Tough Being A Woman. The individual study takes about 45 minutes a day, 5 days a week, delving into God's word in the book of Esther and how God's hands are all over it, even though He is never mentioned(which is very close to reality for many people's lives today!) We will meet as a group once a week, on Wednesdays from 4pm-6pm in Loveland at Nikole's house.

Love and Light
Jesus said, "if any of you is without sin - let him throw the first stone." Shockingly enough, everyone walked away. The standards that we judge by are human and are incomplete. We need to love people, not condemn them. Jesus also said that He is the light of the world. Light illuminates the path before us and shows us the way we should go. It takes away the darkness and keeps us from running into bad situations that we can't see.
We want to be less judging and condemning of those around us. We want to have the mind of Christ and the heart of Christ when viewing other people. We want to take a flash light into those dark places in our soul that we keep hidden and allow ourselves to be changed by Christ.
How have you been better at not judging people this week? How have you loved others through your actions and words? How are you letting Christ light your way?
