+++NEW T-SHIRT DESIGNS+++

Our new T-shirts should be coming in soon! It has a great new look!

Recap from Sunday

WWE Smackdown!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Division in the church is caused by a lot of different opinions.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Churches divide over.....
-Baptism (Which way is correct?)
-Worship Style (Hymns or Contemporary? Organs or Electric Guitars? In tune out of tune vocals)
-Version of the Bible (KJV or NIV or NAS? etc.....)
-What's heaven gonna be like? (have your own mansion or room?)
-Color of the carpet (blue .vs. red, green .vs. pink)

Is any of this worth dividing the Body of Christ?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What the church has avoided to address.....
-Judgemental ism
-The hungry
-False teaching
-Marriage
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 Samuel 30:1-8
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are a lot of thing not worth breaking a sweat over like the color of the carpet.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are some things worth fighting for like Jesus Christ died for people's sin and shame and was raised from the dead 3 days later.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The main idea here is that PEOPLE are the most important thing that God created.

Thrive Groups

Thrive Groups are a new way to reach out to your friends. It is easier to invite ones to a Thrive Group because its a group of people who have a similar interest in an area. It's like a first step for the one who is not sure about the church. We only have one Thrive Group that meets right now on Mondays at 6:30pm at the Anderson Creek Gym. We play 5 on 5 full court basketball. It's awesome and very tiring. If you know anyone who wants to play tell them to come out. For more info email me rmorton@reallifenow.net or Darrell at dbrown@reallifenow.net

Life Groups Starting This Week!

Life Groups start this Saturday with the Real Life Men meeting at 8am. The men will meet every 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month. If you have never been to this group don't miss it again. It is packed with discipleship and breakfast and just hanging out with the guys.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Women's Life Group will meet on the 20th of this month and will continue to meet every 3rd Saturday of the month. I'm not sure of the time right now. Get with Robyn or Nikki for times.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Marriage Life Group will meet on every Wednesday of the month starting next week on the 17th. This is a must for anyone who has been married for any length of time. God doesn't only want us to live an abundant life but to live an abundant life with the one He has created us to be with. Let God restore your relationship, rekindle the fire, and learn how we can actually worship God with our marriage. More details this Sunday.

It's Been a Year

This was our first sevice at the high school. We were setting up getting ready to launch. Good times!

I can't believe we are coming up on a year since launching the first service of Real Life Church. This is an awesome testimony of what God is doing in the Anderson Creek/ Spring Lake area!

If you would like to know anything about the church please email myself, (rmorton@reallifenow.net) or Darrell, (dbrown@reallifenow.net) with your questions. We will sort through the questions and during the meal on Sunday, we will have a Q & A.

Couch Potato

Are you considered a couch potato? Do you have friends or family that might be considered a couch potato? T.V. is a huge part of American culture and we watch a lot of it. Stay tuned to Real Life Church and see how God's word relates to some of the shows that we watch. You don't want to miss this!! If you have family and friends you need to get them to come.

Falcon Children's Home

We had an awesome time in worship yesterday afternoon at the Falcon Children's Home. A couple guys from Pleasant Grove helped lead worship. Raymond and Trey did a great job! This was honestly one of my top worship experiences. There was such a freedom in that place, and to hear everybody singing praises to God. It's hard for me to explain it. You just had to be there.

- Kaitlynn Byrd was baptized today after the 2nd service. Be sure to lift Kaitlynn up when you pray and to encourage her as she starts seeking Christ to be more involved in her life.

- Are you a Survivor, Grinder, Hoarder, or are you Full of Life

- Key Scriptures
- John 4:25-30,39-42
- John 21:1-3,4-6
- Matt 19:16-22

- Do you have lost dreams?
- Is there a goal that you haven't achieved?

**** The EXCITEMENT is still there.****

**** The FIRE has to be rekindled****

- Deut 30:15,16 (Remember this verse)

2nd service Tomorrow

Our early service will start @ 9AM our later service will be @ regular time 10:37AM. From 10AM to 10:37AM Help yourself to our breakfast bar.

-----ATTENTION-----

Their will be free gas cards randomly given out to the ones who attend our early service. To the ones who think this is a bribe, your right, it is.
We need some people to commit to the first service because we are starting to out grow our space as a whole. I believe come Fall we will have both services packed out and probably have to go to a 3rd service, Possibly on Saturday nights for the ones that might not get to make it on Sundays.

Be blessed!

Coffee House tonight!!!

Come hang out with everyone tonight at 7pm. We will provide smoothies and milkshakes and also funny skits. We will wrap the night up with praise and worshipful music. This will be a great time to get to know others within the church.
