SUMMER ACTIVITIES in EVBC-MESA

Lot's going on in Mesa this summer - check these opportunities out!

Summer Prayer Summits:

Prayer Summits are being held to give each part of the Mesa Area the chance to come together and seek the Lord's face for His blessing and guidance for the ministry in Mesa, Apache Junction and Gold Canyon. We hope you will prioritize these events, and join us for these important times together.

Apache Junction & Gold Canyon:
- - - Friday night, June 15th @ 7:00
- - - at the home of Ed & Ann Kress, 6065 E. Siesta Rd., Apache Junction

East Mesa (east of Power Road)

Men: Dodgers - Diamondbacks on Monday, June 25th!

Men of Mesa, we're going to hang out in the bleachers, and watch the Dodgers take it to the Diamondback (okay, now you know where my allegiances lie!). Ticket's are only $7.50. Give me a call, or drop me an email, if you'd like to plan to go (billhartley@evbc.org - 480.889.3490).

Summer Home Group

Kevin & Laurie Rymer are hosting a summer-long Home Group on Monday evenings. They are meeting at the home of Ken & Helen Brannon, 7548 E. Glencove Circle, near Red Mountain Park (Power and Brown), and are going through John Piper's book "Don't Waste Your Life." This is an ideal opportunity for those who have never participated in a Home Group, or those whose regular Home Group is taking a hiatus for the summer. If you're interested, give Kevin a call at 623.202.7029.

Las Sendas Area Women's Circle

We've learned that summertime is not the best time to launch a new program opportunity! We are still looking to have a Mesa Women's Circle group that will meet at the home of Sebastian and Kimberly Lourier. This group will be primarily for women with small children who want to connect relationally. If you are interested in such a group, please give Kimberly a call, and let her know of your interest, and the best times for you to meet. The group will officially begin when a core of participants is determined.

Concerned Christians Summer Classes on Mormonism

Concerned Christians is an organization dedicated to understanding and evangelizing Mormons. They are offering Thursday night courses on Mormonism this summer, beginning June 24th. The classes take place at the Concerned Christians office at 525 E. Broadway Road in Mesa. For more information, contact EVBC's own Bob Betts at Concerned Christians, at 480-833-2537. You can also check out their website at www.concernedchristians.org.

The Men Are Still Meeting!

Our Tuesday morning men's fellowship continues to meet this summer. Join us at the Paradise Cafe, on the northwest corner of Val Vista and Baseline, for some good time in the Word together on Tuesdays at 6:30 a.m. We're wrapping up our study of the book of Ephesians, and will then launch into 2 Peter.

Lots of plan are being made these days by the Area Pastors of EVBC, as we plan to formally launch our Area Ministries focus this fall. Pray for us, and keep your eyes on the website and blog for more information as it becomes available.

God's best to you all!
