August is off to a great start! For starters, our staff just attended a two-day leadership conference called the Global Leadership Summit. I think I can speak for all of us when I say we were filled with encouragement, wisdom, and valuable learning for the season of ministry ahead. It was a special time for our team to be together.

This Sunday, we’re kicking August off with a brand new message series called Holy Habits. New fall rhythms and routines will soon set in and we want to encourage you, now, to begin pursuing some small disciplines that will have big results in you life and faith. I am really looking forward to kicking off Week 1.

And then, I’m looking forward to taking some additional time off.  After six amazing, and rigorous, years of church planting, we have arrived at place where I thought it would be good for me to call a quick timeout. The Lead Team has extended to me some additional time away this month to rest and refuel for what I believe will be a momentous year number seven at Midcurrent. Below is a note from the chair of our Leadership Team, Dave McDaniel.
