The LOOP at Sycamore Creek Church 9.15.11

It seems like we are constantly trying to find ways to make our lives more convenient…and why not? What’s wrong with making our lives better? If we make life more convenient, then we have more time to spend doing the things we enjoy with the people we love. It may come as a shock to you, but when it comes to following Jesus and being a true disciple…there is no path of convenience. It’s not about finding the easier, quicker, faster, express route to be a committed disciple. Being a follower of Jesus is INCONVENIENT. Join us this weekend as we begin this challenging 3-week series. This weekend’s message: DENY SELF.

Meet the Pastor Potluck…
This Sunday at 6pm, Sycamore Creek is hosting a potluck dinner to give you an informal opportunity to meet my family and me. We look forward to the opportunity to meet more of our church family. Come out with your family and bring one of your favorite dishes to share!

E-Give…
You can pretty much do everything electronically this days…even giving to the church! In case you are not aware, SCC offers e-giving. This is an excellent safe and secure way to be consistent in your regular giving. My wife and I have been using e-give for about 5 years and it helps us to keep our giving a priority by setting it up on automatic draft. Check it out here: https://www.egive-usa.com/account/login/
