I love the words of Psalm 126. They are so encouraging.

It seemed like a dream, too good to be true, when God returned Zion's exiles. We laughed, we sang, we couldn't believe our good fortune. We were the talk of the nations— "God was wonderful to them!" God was wonderful to us; we are one happy people. And now, God, do it again.

There is something unique about being happy. It puts a bounce in your step. It creates a genuine smile. It brings laughter. When God does something for us that cannot be explained, it’s like a good fortune. Are you ready for that?

Sometimes I allow life, schedules, and circumstances to steal my happiness. It can easily happen because life can be rough. In the middle of challenges, God wants us to choose Him. He wants us to choose joy. It may not feel right, but it’s what He wants. What will your choice be today? Go with the God who is “wonderful to us”. And then…smile!

To help with that, please join us on Sunday, July 25th. We wrap up the "Lists" series by talking about how a life touched by God always ends in touching others. We'll have the opportunity to be involved in a simple project that could put a smile on the face of someone!

You'll also get the chance to grab a snack after the experience, chat with friends, and catch up on summer events. This is just a fun and simple "summer time" way to say thanks for being at Fellowship. A full children's program will be offered this week during the worship time for kids ages birth through 5th grade. Bring your family, invite some friends, and we'll see you on Sunday!

My favorite day of the week is Sunday. I love everything about it! It’s a day where we get the chance to really focus on God and His amazing love for people. God loves everyone and that is a very humbling thought. Sunday is also a day where we get to see the church in action. The church is God’s plan to provide hope, give love, and serve others. At Fellowship, we talk about redefining church which means that we want to provide hope, give love, and serve others in ways that surprise and delight!

This Sunday, June 6, 2010, is going to be an experience that will surprise and delight! Do not miss this Sunday. We will be sharing with you the big plans God has for Fellowship during this next season. I would also encourage you to invite someone to fill the seat next to you as we dream about becoming a church of irresistible influence.

See you on the 6th! I hope that you can be there so we can share this day together.
