Welcome to the INBOX!
We look forward to seeing you in worship this weekend as we hear the final message in our LIVE THE LIFE worship series and welcome new Director of Music JK Posey to worship--Ginghamsburg style. We'll also get a preview of the upcoming worship message series - ODYSSEY - that begins September 11/12.
While we're making plans for the end-of-summer Labor Day weekend, let's not forget about the New Path Food Drive, clothing collection for Anna's Closet and can collection this weekend. Leave your donations behind your car during worship on the Main Campus and New Path servants will collect them. Or, bring them into worship with you at the Fort. Thank you in advance for your generous donation.
Enjoy this week's issue of the INBOX…
This Week in Worship
LIVE THE LIFE: It's LABOR Day
September turns a corner in our life-rhythm. Moving into a new season of mission we present ourselves afresh to God as living sacrifices, ready to work for kingdom purposes in the days ahead. LIVE THE LIFE: It's LABOR Day.
Join us at Ginghamsburg's Main Campus as we celebrate the best of summer and prepare ourselves for the fullness of fall. OR if you're looking for a more urban worship experience consider worshipping at our Fort McKinley Campus where the messages are powerful, the community is contagious and the music rocks!
Away for the weekend? Watch the message online, or purchase a CD ($2) or DVD ($5) at the Vine bookstore.

The INBOX is proud to present -
serving with children at Ginghamsburg!
Check In Welcome Team! Serve at the Children's Ministry check-in station before worship to welcome families and help them use the automated system to create nametags. We want to ensure a smooth transition to the automated check-in system for all Ginghamsburg families. This servant opportunity will require you to be at the check-in station 15 minutes prior to the worship hour you are serving/attending. To serve, contact Joelle Sawyer at jsawyer(at)ginghamsburg.org or 937.667.1069 ext. 260.
SURGE: Cell Group for Kids! Build lasting relationships with children in grades 3-5 as you lead them in developing spiritual maturity through provided curriculum and service projects. Our sessions always begin with large group time together and then break into smaller cell groups. This is a time of learning, listening, sharing and praying for one another. SURGE is a great opportunity for kids to build lasting relationships with other kids who are following Jesus! Passionate about the elementary age group and understand the importance of growing young people into disciples of Jesus Christ? Contact Emilee Hermon at ehermon(at)ginghamsburg.org or 937.667.1069 ext 280.
Ginghamsburg offers more than 280 ways to serve across all ages. Visit the online servant catalog.
