Five
members of our team return to NC Monday afternoon. The rest of the team
is now in Cambodia with Kit, Avery, and Lucas.
The missions trip has been awesome. During our 20 events, our team held
worship concerts for over 3000 people, trained around 700 worship
leaders in three countries, and led Sunday morning worship for over
3000 people. We have so much to report to you soon. It is amazing at
all we saw God do during these days.
Everyone on the team stayed very healthy throughout the worship events.
The team worked together so well in everything they were required to do.
We are so thankful for all those that filled in for us while we were
away. It's great to know that we have so many capable people at Front
Street. We all look forward to being back with you this coming Sunday.
Thank you for your prayers,
Pastors Tim and Kenny

Last
Monday we studied SANITY, about making the right decisions based on
God's truth. This week, August 10, we have a special guest speaker, our

cocaine addiction, and the miraculous healing powers of God, which led
him into full time ministry with Teen Challenge. Also, we will have
Kindred Spirit entertaining us with their unique talents and music.
Please plan to join us for this exciting worship time to see what God
is doing. You can be a part of this ministry as well. Please contact

How to Become Part of the Front Street Family
First, we would like to thank you for your interest
in Front Street. Before
becoming a member, we feel that you should truly understand our heart
and vision before you join our church family, and the new member's
class is designed to help you have a clear understanding of your new
church family.
Please note that you are not required to join Front
Street after attending the New Member's Class.
In fact, you will not be pressured in
any way to join. We
want to encourage you to continue to seek God's will on whether He
desires for you to plant your life here with us.
The new member's class is a four week class, held
during the Sunday School hour. The
next class will be held in
October. Those
dates for the adult class or for the children's
class are October 4, 11, 18 and 25. To sign up for the
adult class (which includes youth), or to sign your child up
for the children's class, please contact the church office at
(704) 872-7623 or email Pastor Tim at tim@frontstreet.org.
