This Sunday at SLAC

As we gather this Sunday, we’re looking forward to being together as a church family—worshipping, learning, and following where God is leading.

Join us in a time of worship through music, lifting our voices together and creating space to refocus our hearts on Him. 

We will be watching part 1 of a sermon series titled "Renovate"-"What Are You Building Your Life On?"

For families, Kids’ Ministries are available during the service, with Nursery for newborns to age 5 and Kids’ Church for ages 6–11. Children will be dismissed after the music portion of the service.

If someone has been on your heart lately, this could be a great Sunday to invite them to join you.

We’re grateful for each of you and look forward to gathering this Sunday again.

As we look ahead to the fall, we're excited to begin exploring new ideas and opportunities for our Kids' Ministry!

If you currently serve in Nursery or Kids' Church, or have ever considered becoming involved in children's ministry, we'd love for you to join us for a special planning meeting following the service.

Together, we'll discuss our vision for children from newborn through age 11, share some new ideas being considered for the coming ministry year, and explore ways we can continue helping our children grow in their faith and knowledge of Jesus.

This meeting is open to all current volunteers, parents, grandparents, and anyone interested in learning more about serving in Kids' Ministry.

Whether you're a longtime volunteer or simply curious about what the future may hold, we'd love to have your voice, ideas, and input as we plan for the fall.

Come dream with us about the future of Kids' Ministry at SLAC!

One of the most memorable moments from Sunday's message was the picture of the sheep staying close to the shepherd.

Not because the sheep were foolish, but because they needed guidance, food, and protection. Left on their own, they were far more vulnerable. Together, near the shepherd, they were safe.

The same is true for us.

In a busy world, it is easy to drift. We become distracted by work, responsibilities, activities, and endless demands on our attention. Before long, we may find ourselves feeling distant from God without ever intentionally choosing to walk away.

The good news is that the Shepherd has not moved.

This week, consider this question:

Am I intentionally staying close to Jesus, or am I simply hoping proximity will happen on its own?

Faith grows when we remain near the Shepherd. Not through perfection, but through daily attention, trust, and obedience.

The invitation this week is simple: stay close.

Stay Close

Each day this week, set aside five minutes to be alone with God.

Read a few verses of Scripture.
Pray.
Sit quietly.
Take a walk.
Listen.

The goal isn't to accomplish something.

The goal is simply to spend time with the Shepherd.

At the end of the week, ask yourself:

Did I notice God's presence more because I intentionally made space for Him?

Small moments spent with God often have a bigger impact than we realize.
