UPBEAT SUMMER

Some pastors just give up on summer. Once Memorial Day hits they go into neutral, facing the coming weeks of lower attendances as though they are a necessary evil in the church's year.

Summer has been very positive at CATM - we were not about to sit around for three months as if they don't matter, and wait for Labor Day to come. We have taken some time to re-cast vision, increased involvement and have welcomed quite a number of new people.

This constructive approach continues throughout August with a series on worship that starts this coming Sunday. The climax of the four weeks series will be a morning given to worship on August 27th, but it's the beginning of this teaching that will set us on track.

See you Sunday if you're local - or listen to the message on our podcast if you're one of our regular readers from across the country and in other countries too.
