Coming up
Please continue to pray for us as we are gearing up for our first domestic missions trip to Kentucky! This has been a big undertaking for JFB Duluth and God has been blessing us throughout the planning and prepping. Please pray for both the team leaving to the field as well as those of us staying behind tending to the church. This is Duluth’s inaugural trip, we’re excited but we’re also preparing for the warfare that comes along with any kingdom work such as this.
A Change
Some other pretty cool news for Duluth is that we’ve officially moved our Sunday services out of the coffeehouse and up into the sanctuary. This has been a good change for all of us. The shift in setting helps bring a new perspective and life to what had become the comfortable norm; change is good. The move has added a whole new dynamic to how worship goes as we are not using the stage. All the instruments are on the floor with the pews facing in on themselves around the front area.
It’s been great to have a tight knit, family feel with the worship and the teachings. It seems that we’ve been seeing a lot of new faces Sunday morning as we continue our study in 1 Peter. Therefore, the influx of new faces might be due to the move or perhaps because it’s finally getting warmer up here in the frigid northland; either way it’s been a blessing to us.
Coffee
Speaking of blessing, Curbside Coffee has begun as we go full swing in blessing the community. We’re giving away free coffee to commuters travelling on Wednesday mornings. It’ll be cool to see some familiar faces this summer!
On Campus
Street Level has been very active this summer even though a large portion of the students have left campus once the semester came to a close. Street Level’s latest adventures have consisted of… taking a walk. Where? We don’t know! It changes week to week as the group treks around the campus and throughout the city to predetermined, but undisclosed, locations and events. It’s been a fun ride so far and it’s exciting to see what God has in store for Street Level and all of JFB Duluth moving forward!
We’re continuing to learn how to hear the Spirit and respond to His leading. It’s been neat to see the growth that God allows us to see and be a part of, God is good. Thanks for all of your prayers!
