Dear Memorial,

What a pleasure it was to kick off our new sermon series, "The Gospel According to The Beatles," this past Sunday! It was wonderful to gather with you in worship as we explored the big theme of God’s everlasting hope hinted at in the timeless  Beatles classic Here Comes The Son and professed in Revelation 21:1-6. I believe this series is a fun and accessible way to see how the gospel shows up in surprising and unexpected places.

This is also a fantastic opportunity for us to share Christ's love beyond our walls. I'd love for you to consider inviting a friend, neighbor, or family member to join us this Sunday as we continue the series. It's an easy "ask" and a great way to introduce someone to the grace-filled and welcoming church family we have here at Memorial.

I'm also excited for the return of our Wednesday night dinners and classes on September 10th! This is a great time for us to gather, connect, and enjoy fellowship together. Our evening begins with a delicious dinner at 5:30PM, followed by our classes at 6:15PM (with choir beginning at 6:00PM).

Gathering in this way through the week give us an excellent opportunity to catch up with each other, grow in grace through our study, and to enjoy a wonderful meal at a great price: just $10 per person, and kids eat free! It is truly outstanding value for an outstanding meal.

See you there!

Blessings,

Charlie
