"The Good Stuff" - News for 6/27/10

Summer is in full swing at New Beginnings Church...and I'm not just talking about the heat!

Today we kicked off our summer series that will carry us all the way through August...and let's just say that it's not just the weather that's HOT! We going to spend the summer turning out attention away from the negative stuff in life, and focusing on the positive, wonderful, beautiful, amazing things that life has to offer. We'll explore what the New Testament refers to as "fruits of the Spirit," and fruit is always good for you...right?! Join us on Sundays for "The Good Stuff."

Our Wednesday night summer series is in full swing. We're learning more about the story and structure of the Bible, using the book "30 Days to Understanding the Bible." Come and join us!

And if that wasn't enough...we're continuing New Beginnings Church @ Chesterfield Heights in Midlothian through the summer months...4pm on Sundays. We had so much fun getting to know our new neighbors in June, we've decided to keep it going!

God is good, folks. Come join us.
