Hello all!

This Sunday, August 10th, from 4-6:15, we’ll all meet in the Fellowship Hall for our annual Sunday School Leadership Rally. Please make sure your Sunday School team is here.

Our special guest this year will be Topper Reid, a long-time Sunday School leader from Alabama. I know you’ll enjoy his sincere and passionate heart for Sunday School small groups and gain insight from his wisdom!

We’ll have a snack dinner for you, and the SS handbook for this year. Childcare is provided, and if you can let me know who your kiddos are that will be coming, that would be great!

I am so excited about the year ahead. LOOK WHAT GOD IS DOING!

Hey Leaders,

Remember that we will meet Wedneday night at the “new” old time, 6:15, in B110. I look forward to meeting with you as we near Round UP!

Spread the word to your team about the meeting. You’ll have time to meet and plan and pray for the weeks coming up.

I am thankful for all of you and I am praying for you! See you at the meeting!

Hello all from beautiful Glorieta, New Mexico!

Thanks for allowing me to come to this place to spend some away time with family, but also to spend some concentrated time with some of the SBC’s most influential leaders. One leader, Ed Stetzer, has challenged us to press on in Sunday School/Small Groups with a clear and intentional purpose to Go and make disciples. To be on mission.

I hope this sounds familiar, because our purpose at QSBC in Sunday School is to Reach and Teach, but at the same time, I have been challenged to refocus! To recommit! To commit to the strategy of each of us in Sunday School to connect with our own mission fields every week, personally.

Who are you praying for and/or reaching personally this week? This is a call for you and me to not do something new, but to press in to what we know is true: people are looking for authentic relationships with God and with a people who love Him and each other. Where is your harvesting field?

I am praying for you all in our mission to reach our community and the world with the life-changing Gospel of Jesus Christ!

At Wednesday night’s prayer meeting, the pastor encouraged us to be careful to give thanks to the Lord for all the ways He continues to bless us. His text was Psalm 44. Remember that our cry is “Not to us o Lord, not to us, but to Your Name give glory!”

As you think of the ways that we are blessed as a church family, as a Sunday School class, in our families, and individually, let us speak that praise and thanks to the Lord.

The pastor encouraged us to take time on Sunday to do that very thing. Please plan for time this week for individuals to share how the Lord has blessed them and to offer thanks for His great goodness!

Round Up is coming, begin now making preparation for contacting all the souls on your Sunday School Ministry roll to be here August 17th. Be planning your Round Up fellowships in August. And, be praying!

I love and appreciate you all!

Hello!

I am so thankful for an awesome week of Vacation Bible School here at QSBC! It has been so much fun, and so many have ministered to these special kiddos.

Many families are represented by the kids in attendance this week. In particular, many of these families have no church home.

Would you make a special effort to come by this Saturday morning at 9:00, rec center, to pick up family information and take a packet to them about QSBC? There are approximately 50 families! Wow!

God bless you as you minister today!
