If you were here at The Springs a few years ago, you probably remember when we first introduced Realm. Realm is an online tool we use to help update and stay connected with our congregation via our newsletter, announcements, event signups for certain events, digital directory and more. When we first joined Realm, we helped walk much of our congregation through the process of getting connected. Since that time, we've had many new families join the church, and questions from many about services that are available in Realm.
In the weeks ahead, we're aiming to get more folks connected so we can make the most of Realm. If you're a member or regular attender and don't currently have a realm account, be on the lookout for an invitation email in your inbox, as we'll be sending these out early next week. If you don't receive an email or need help getting connected, we're happy to help! Just check in with our welcome team, call or email our office, or contact Pastor Rob.
Once you get connected, you can update your information and settings, add a photo for your directory listing, and access the directory, newsletter, signups for certain events, and more. To make it one step easier to add your picture to Realm, we are planning to schedule a few Sunday mornings where one of our members will be available to take your picture. Keep an eye on the newsletter for more details!
Women's Ministry's "Summer Spark" || 7/11 || 7:00 PM || Liz Logan's Home
Ladies, join us for this fun, joy-filled gathering where women can spark new friendships, ignite their faith, gather to connect, grow and support each other. Information cards are available in the Lobby! Please bring a camping chair and a dessert or drinks to share!
Summer in the Psalms - God's Playlist
Did you know that the Psalms are actually divided into five books? Now through August 30th, The Springs will be reading through the fourth book of the Psalms, which includes chapters 90-106. This initiative will be a great way to spend some daily time in the Word and will be a great study for new to seasoned believers alike. We are also excited to spend time in the same book together as a congregation!
Bookmarks for the summer reading plan are now available in the Lobby!
Summer in the Psalms Sunday Morning Class || 7/12 - 8/30 || 10:30 AM || Rm 120/122
Over the summer our church family will be working our way through the fourth section of the Psalms by using a summer reading plan & through our weekly sermons. To enrich our experience in the Psalms we will be providing a 7 week discussion based class from July 12 - August 30 at 10:30 AM. The focus of this time will be to discuss both the Psalms from the previous weeks readings as well as process the sermon from the 9:00 AM service. This class will be led by Pastors & Elders. Whether you’re new to The Springs or have been here a while, this is a great place for discussion, growth & fellowship. We hope you’ll stop by!
Challenge Conference 2026 || 7/13 - 7/18
Our student ministry will be taking a group of 21 Students & Chaperones to Kansas City for Challenge Conference the week of July 13th to 18th! This nationwide youth event, which takes place every other summer, is put on by the EFCA and our group is excited to be a part of this amazing week! We appreciate your support to help our students be able to go to the conference & know you will be praying for us as we are there! Please be praying for God to move in powerful ways in the lives of our students as they worship, learn, and serve together in KC.
Veteran's Coming Home Lunch || 7/15
We are in need of volunteers to serve at the luncheon. Please bring donations to the church by Sunday, July 12th. You can drop donations off in the cabinet located next to the Local Missions counter, by the Worship Center doors.
Men's Ministry's "Thriller from the Griller" || 7/17 || 6:00 - 9:00 PM || The Gym
What's the "Thriller from the Griller" you ask?? It's an event for men at The Springs to enjoy an epic movie together while eating some incredible BBQ. This year we will be watching Angel Studio's "Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Spy, Assassin" and having our annual Grilling Competition! The movie details the life of WWII era German Pastor Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a man who showed incredible faith and commitment to Christ in the face of great evil. The movie is PG-13, so guys feel free to bring your sons that are 13 and older. We hope you will plan to join us on Friday, July 17th from 6:00 - 9:00 PM in the gym! Be sure to look for the sign up in the lobby to let us know you're coming and if you'd also like to contribute to the grilling and compete for the chance to be crowned champion of the grillers!
If you have questions or are unable to sign up in the lobby, please contact either Josh Zinner (816-550-1615) or Trent Moberly (309-830-8094).
