2 From Donnie s Desk; One of the most well known and, I might add, most ignored passages of scripture is found in Matthew 28: After His Resurrection and having appeared to the disciples and many others, Jesus leaves these explicit instructions for His followers. And not just for the disciples who lived in that moment, but for all who follow Him in any era of history. Here is what He said Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. We have tended to relegate this passage to those called to missions or to those with a special gift of evangelism or to those bold souls who knock on doors and share their faith. The truth is, Jesus tells us to be ready and willing to share our faith, to tell others of His love and grace and salvation as we are going in our day to day lives! And that scares most of us! As we are going For each of us our as we are going moments happen every day! We may be going to the store or going to work or going to the gym or going to a ball game or going to dinner. But, in each setting there are opportunities to talk with others, pray with others, minister to others, invite others to come and see what this faith and this Savior is all about! And that is the challenge for us this summer and every season! You may not feel comfortable sharing a detailed presentation of the Gospel. You may not have all the in s and out s of how to engage someone in a gospel conversation. But all of us know how to invite! Research keeps telling us over and over that the single most effective tool for church growth and evangelism is this inviting friends and acquaintances to join us at church. It is simple, non threatening, and can become a natural part of our conversations. So this summer I challenge you to Look for the opportunities Take the initiative Invite folks to join you at HSBC You may be surprised at the results! You may just have the joy of seeing someone become a Follower of Christ because you took the time and the initiative to simply invite! This is going to be a great summer at HSBC! Can t wait to see you this week as we gather to worship! Sharon and I love y all! Blessings, Donnie

3 Important Dates June Newsletter Information: Ignite Students and Families, On Wednesday Nights, June 6th - 27th, we will be diving into the series Crew, a series about wisdom in friendships. Who are the people you enjoy hanging out with most? Your friends, right? They laugh at your jokes, reply to your Snapchats, invite you to the movies, and hang out with you, even when you smell bad or show off your terrible dance moves. And whether you have a huge group of friends or just one BFF, they can have a huge impact on who you are now and who you become later. But have you ever thought about how you got those friends in the first place? Maybe their family just happened to move in down the street from yours or you ended up in the same ballet class. Maybe you randomly sat next to each other in Chemistry or you just happened to play the same sport. While none of those are bad ways to make friends, it s strange that we leave such an important part of our lives to chance. Perhaps that s why the Bible has so much to say about how we choose and treat our friends. As we look to the Bible for advice about our friendships, we ll discover that one of the best things we can do for our crew is to be their friend on purpose. June 6: Your friends can make you or break you. June 13: Pay attention to who you re listening to. June 20: No WED Night (Camp Anderson) June 27: When it comes to conflict with your crew, relationships > revenge.

4 of destruction by the time school starts again. That s why its important to think about how to How to Find Refreshment in the Middle of Summer By Sarah Bragg Think back to what summer was like before you had kids. Do you remember the glory of it? The late start to the day. Creating your own schedule. Taking actual vacations? (Because let s be honest, a day at the beach with kids is not really a vacation. It s more like an episode of Baywatch minus the swimsuit body.) Summers used to be about recharging. Taking time off from the daily grind in order to come back refreshed. I think the people who need refreshment the most are parents, yet it s sometimes most difficult for parents to find it. Instead, you find yourself just trying to hold on to your sanity as you try to figure out how to entertain your kids now that they re out of school. You become a constant referee in sibling warfare and get lost in a never-ending state of laundry (how do they wear so many clothes)? And if you hear the theme song to a Disney show one more time, you may lock yourself in a closet. As parents, you have less of most things time, money and ability. But just because you have less time, money and ability to find refreshment like you once did before kids doesn t mean that you shouldn t try. Summer comes and goes quickly. And much like a hurricane, your emotional, spiritual and relational state of being can be tossed around and left in a state safeguard your soul for the storms of summer. Think about one thing you can do in the coming days and weeks left of summer to help refresh yourself. It s easy to talk about needing to be refreshed, but it s difficult to actually do something about it. Here s your challenge: - DAILY Think about what you enjoy doing that doesn t cost you anything. Maybe it s drinking a cup of coffee in the morning all by yourself. Or maybe it s having your favorite drink on the patio at night under the twinkle lights at night. Or maybe it s taking 15 minutes to sit outside to soak up the sun. It s important to do something every day that refreshes you. For me, I drink my first cup of coffee alone. It allows me to have space to think before interacting with the demands of my kids. - WEEKLY Think about what you enjoy doing that doesn t cost much. Maybe enlist the help of your spouse or friend or sitter for an hour or two. Maybe you could go to Target alone or to Starbucks. Or maybe it s taking a walk on local trial or greenway. This shouldn t cost much. You would be surprised at how much $5 at Starbucks can bring a sense of refreshment. For me, I treat myself to Starbucks once a week (clearly, I have

5 a love affair with coffee). I sit there alone, or sometimes with a friend, but getting a small time away from the kids breathes life back into my weary soul. - MONTHLY Think about what you enjoy doing that costs a little bit more time and money. Maybe you go to your favorite restaurant. Or maybe you even book a hotel for a night or a spa treatment. For us, date night doesn t happen weekly but instead monthly. Having that on the calendar gives me something to look forward to. And I always come back home feeling refreshed. Not only is it good for your emotional, relational and spiritual well being to take care of yourself, but it s good for your kids to see you care for yourself. Some of the best advice I received when I was single was to guard your time off. My boss said, Take care of yourself. No matter how busy you are, you must rest. Because if you don t do it now while you have a freer schedule then it will be hard to start when you have kids. You aren t the only busy people in your family. Your kids are busier than you were at their age. Model for them what it means to take care of yourself. Let them see you relax. Let them see you enjoy refreshment. Let them see you prioritize time away with your spouse so that they will learn to find ways to be refreshed. I can t cure the sibling fights or the mounds of laundry, but I can promise you that you can experience refreshment in the middle of summer.
