July 12 RUN for Your Life – I Kings 19:1-8
The image of life as a race is used throughout the Bible. This Sunday we will see how the prophet Elijah ran for his life. We can learn some lessons here that help us in the life of race as well.
July 19 – Encouragement along the Way – I Kings 19:9-18
When running the race of life and trying to reach the pinnacle we are not alone. It sometimes feels that way. However, God is always with us. Let’s see if we can hear Him this Sunday.
26 July – Providing for the Race – I Kings 17:7-24
Energy, Provision, Supply those are God’s words and what He wants to do in our lives. It’s hard to see how God can provide but He always does. What is your need?

Curious about the Virginia Conference last month?
Watch this video to experience the 233rd Virginia Annual Conference held June 19-21 in the Berglund Center in Roanoke. Attendees elected 2016 General and Jurisdictional Conference delegates and voted to petition General Conference to remove the “incompatibility” statement from the Book of Discipline. You can also view highlights of the memorial service, ordination, mission worship service, Imagine No Malaria report, “fixing” of clergy appointments and more.
Pastor Dan was definitely there!
From Chuck Knows Church: An Annual Conference is a regional body that governs much of the life of the “Connectional Church.” Sound confusing? We agree. Chuck will try to make sense of “Annual Conferences” when he makes a conference call.
