JCU Chapter 6

1. Introduced memory work of Eph 3:20. Remember: we are able to ask and imagine, but He is able to DO it and MORE.

2. Prayer time - Mark introduced the prayer cards and the "super bowl" - good ways for us to be praying for one another during the week. Prayer time during the meeting focuses on specific church plant requests and the cards are used for personal requests.

3. Thanks to the Building Community Team for developing some great plans for the children's program. Upcoming projects include "Art Trading Cards" to be distributed to Christ Church as prayer reminders and also designing an "East Hills Map Play-Mat".

4. Making Friends Team met with Urban Family Ministries and will meet again to finalize summer projects. Possibilities include: Weed 'n Seed Survey, 1-day Kids Carnival, Wealthy Heights Project, and work at Congress School.

5. Session approved funds for Steve and Kris to attend a church planter assessment program.

6. Walter has worked with Presbytery MNA and the Credentials Committee and layed out a schedule for examination, licensing, call, and ordination. Steve will meet with the Credentials Committee at the November Presytery meeting.

7. Trolley Days - see note below. Will encourage CC to be involved again in August.

8. Brief discussion on the importance of having a church name sooner rather than later.

Remember THIS SATURDAY the Grand Rapids Trolley Co., LLC takes shoppers and diners on a free, and fun, cruise to shops and restaurants in the Eastown, East Fulton, East Hills and Wealthy Street business districts. Shoppers can hop on and off at eight stops along the way, with the first Trolley leaving the Fulton Street Farmer's Market at 10 a.m and the last trolley returning at 3 p.m.

"Lord, may your kingdom come and your will be done in Uptown - Grand Rapids as it is in heaven."
