Hi <<First Name>>,
Five Things….
1. You can’t fill a moving cup. There’s something to be said for resting.
2. This weekend, in our “Flourish” series, we’ll consider the role rest plays in the process of flourishing in our lives to the glory of God. Hunter Wheatcraft (Farmers Branch) and Josh Brake (Vista Ridge) will be bringing powerful and helpful messages in this regard.
3. If you’re new to The Branch and want to learn more about us or are ready to dive deeper into the community and mission of The Branch, Branch Orientation is for you! Lunch is included! Join us Sunday, February 5th after the late service at either of our campuses. Register here.
4. The whole church is invited to our annual Chili Cook-Off hosted by our Celebrate Recovery ministry on Saturday, January 28. If you have a chili recipe you want to show off, bring it! If you are a chili connoisseur, we want to know what you think about all the entries. If you just want a free meal on a Saturday night, we would love to have you!
We need to know who’s coming and who’s bringing chili, so please register today.
5. Thank you for your continued prayers on behalf of Tara in regard to her two weeks in Nairobi, Kenya. This past weekend she was able to visit the work of Tony Mauldin, who many of you already know, and also Dr. Will Caire who we’ve recently begun to support in our foreign missions initiatives. It’s a much longer story, but doors also opened for Tara to spend time with the First Lady of Kenya.
Grace and Peace,
Chris
