I hope you all are having a great weekend. I wanted to remind you of a few things happening at The Gathering THIS weekend.
• Tonight from 7:30-8:30 pm The Gathering Webster has rented out the Webster Groves Aquatic Center for a pool party. Everyone is welcome, your kids can invite some friends, and it is all at no cost. Come on over.
• Tomorrow I will continue our sermon series Fire and Brimstone: The Book of Revelation. It has been fascinating to study the most misunderstood book of the Bible. You can listen to the first part of the series here. If you want to read ahead for tomorrow, check out Rev. 6 and 7.
• Don’t forget, The Gathering has launched new worship times. Webster worships at 10 am and we have two services, at 9 am and 10:30 am at both McCausland and Clayton.
I hope you are enjoying these last weekends of summer. This is a great time to reach out and invite someone to join you at worship. We are still asking everyone to wear a mask for worship and we will have them available at the door if you forget yours. I can’t wait to see you in church.
