e-Church Plant News:Flipside

Hey Flipside Family,

I pray your week has gone well. I am currently at a conference about “Doing Church as a Team”. We certainly have a great team of people of which you are a part. By the way, the conference I am at is on Oahu in Hawaii. It was all paid for by an individual who believes in what we are doing and wanted to bless us through the learning I am receiving. It is really good. We get up at 5:00am, do an exercise program, devotions, and breakfast. It is regimented but very beneficial.

I pray you realize what a blessing you are to so many others who are looking for Jesus.

I pray you realize how significant Flipside is already and what a great start God is doing through you.

I pray you realize what a significant part you are in the Flipside team.

I am excited to be with you all again at our next Preview Service on June 26th! It is coming up very quickly.

Next Sunday is Father’s Day and I want to remind you that you are all invited to Millerton Lake with Flipside. We are just going to be relaxing and fellowshipping together. Here is some info about our lake trip that Amy got for us.

*For a map go to: http://www.parks.ca.gov/lat_long_map/

*A day pass per car is: $7.00

*Meet on the Fresno side... just take Friant all the way up staying right until you see the Millerton Lake Recreational Park sign. Enter the park... you'll pass a guard booth... pay the lovely fee... then follow the road around until you see the Flipside signs.

*Regarding toys for the lake, CMS Toys (559-255-6592) is the jet ski rental that is right at the Fresno side boat launch.

*We are thinking about a time frame of 10:00am - 4:00pm (or however long you want to stay)

*Bring your own lunch, drink, sun screen, etc and toys to play with (unless you want to rent some there)

Let’s take a Sunday to play together before we work and worship together the following Sunday. Thank you to those of you on the set up/tear down team. I look forward to seeing you Sunday the 26th at 8:00am. My kids are excited about going back to Flipside for Sunday School. Thank you to those of you who are doing such a great job teaching our children about Jesus. So many of you are giving and working so much for the sake of others. I am proud of you for continuing to invite people and help others get connected to Flipside. I am so proud of you! Please continue praying for God’s blessing on our church, our preview services coming up, and our launch on September 11th and 18th. Be inviting all those you know to our Preview Service on Sunday, June 26th at Valley Oak Elementary at 10:00am. Let’s set a goal of 250 people for that service. I know we are all connected to people who need a church and I believe in you all!

I am bringing back some things for all of you that will be great for turning our world upside down. I’m excited for what God is doing. Thank you for being a part of it. You are a blessing.

Love and blessings, Karl
