What's Happening? Week beginning 6/6/10

What an amazing start to June and the summer! Today, in addition to a wonderful time of worship at Emmanuel, we also had our first service at Chesterfield Heights in Midlothian. It was awesome...we even ran out of room and had to bring in extra chairs!

New Beginnings is partnering with Chesterfield Heights, offering a trial-run of worship services on Sundays at 4pm during the month of June. We'll evaluate time, location, and space as we go along, as well as community benefit. If all goes well, this may turn into an ongoing partnership.

Meanwhile, come and join us...Sundays in June at 4pm. You can find directions HERE.

And here's all the news that's fit to print...
