Here’s the story: Monday night was a success. You came. We ate. We learned. We grew in community.
An awesome handoff to the next level for 24.seven.
Stay tuned for more updates.
Monday is…Tonight!
Tonight @ 7:30pm
24.seven
REAL Church
be a part of the change.
(and…there might be food..)
BBQ Glory!
With only a hint of rain, me and 12 of the fun-est and funniest people I know converged on my backyard for BBQ glory. Ballparks, brats, and kielbasa, and the faint smell of matchlight charcoal in the air. Panera Bread. Crazy Eddie Bauer croquet. Wiffleball shenannigans. Marshmellow (or is that mallow?) fights. Andrea and the American Flag… I could go on. If you missed it…you missed out.
Pictures to follow.
Don’t forget, 24.seven transitioning to MONDAY NIGHTS @7:30!! REAL CHURCH.
(don’t show up at my house, please…I won’t be there. and if I am there, I may not let you in.)

A month gone bye!
Wow, it’s been a month since we last updated! Well, let’s get up to speed with everything going on. God has been doing some exciting things in 24.seven!
God has challenged us to step out of our comfortable living room and put some action to our words. Over the past several weeks we’ve visited Royal Oak, Wayne State, and our very own Hamtramck to meet people, smile, share the Good News, and invite them to church. We’ve challenged ourselves to get out of our “comfort zones” and have been surprised at how “not scary” it really was. Wow!?! So let’s keep it up! Whether in the grocery line or across a backyard fence, let’s be aware of opportunities given and missed every day to share Christ with a word, with a smile, with a hug.
We’ve also welcomed back our friend Steve from Vietnam. Last week he shared with us what Christ taught him during his trip. It was awesome. He met many people, encouraged and was encouraged. Ask Steve to tell you about his trip - I couldn’t do it justice here. But we’re really glad that he’s back!!
Last night studied mostly in 1John, and we talked about Truth, and living a life full of it. Anthony shared what God had been teaching him about Truth and action.
How can our faith be free and True?
- Recognize who we are, and who God is: 1John 1:8-9
- Do not love the world: Matthew 6:24, 1John 2:15-17
- Live Differently: 1John 3:4-10
- Love Others: 1 John 3:23, 1 John 4:7-15
- Find Victory and Freedom: 1 John 5:4-5, 1 John 4:4
I encourage you to look up the verses we went over, and see what the Holy Spirit wants to speak to you about living a life full of Truth.
Next week BBQ!! Check your email for details and a food signup.
