Good Sunday morning. This is Mike Sereg, the voice of Vital Ministries. It is good to be with you on this Sunday. I tell you what, August is almost done. We are staring down looking at September Labor Day is on the horizon. It is amazing how fast time goes, but again hasn’t it been a wonderful summer. We have seen some incredible things enjoying the State Fair. All the activities, the fairs the the the different events that have happened amongst the different cities in our local area. It is great. I’ve just come from Florida and was gone for about six days to visit my son. And folks, I’ve gotta just tell you, I appreciate Iowa’s so much. I’m glad to be in Iowa and I’m glad I was born here. I know I’m going to die here and God is good. And we have a great place in the midst of our state and I hope the most of you have that you can appreciate the same things.

Before we get started this morning, we have a few things that we just want to get set up for you to know different events that are coming along the way and the first one is this this morning. I just want to remind you on September 8, we’re going to have the Vital Gathering. You don’t want to miss this. It is an event for everyone, men, women, children, everybody, it’s just going to be a great time we’re going to be at Debbie celebration barn. And again, that’s on September 8, we’re going to go from five to seven o’clock we’re going to feed you right the very beginning, we have some great food we have a vendor that has done a wonderful job and just encourage you to be a participate in that we’re going to have great worship music, we have a band that is just fantastic and allows the presence of the Holy Spirit to come. I will give you about a short 20 minutes teaching about what the application of how we can look at life, we’re going to look at what it means who are the real heroes in our life. So just some good things that are coming. You don’t want to miss that event again that September 8, from five to seven o’clock pm at Debbie celebration barn. What a great time for everyone to join as we gather together in the presence of God himself and allow the Holy Spirit to be with us. I just hope you don’t miss this great event. And it’s also a great opportunity to invite somebody who doesn’t know Jesus, but it’d be a great way for them to come to know Christ in a greater way. So again, what a great opportunity.

Also on 9/11 we are having our Vital men kickoff. Man, it’s hard to believe the ministry season is about to begin on 9/11. We’re going to be going from six to eight o’clock that’s on a Wednesday night 9/11 in Pella. Iowa. We’re going to be at The Well this year. We’re looking forward to that it’s gonna be a great time we’re gonna have barbecue out front. Guys are going to be barbecue and men, who doesn’t like BBQ meat? And we promise you great, great food so you’re not going to want to miss that event that again that’s on September 11. 9/11, we’ve picked that date for a purpose. And we think some great things are going to happen we’re going to have the worship band coming from the Bridge down in Ottumwa, It’s going to be great. They do a wonderful job and music and also to Marty Schmidt is going to be our guest speaker it’s all going to happen from six to eight o’clock kickoff for Vital men.
