Summer Groups

Every week throughout the year at Second Chance Church we have what are called House Parties which are exactly how they sound fun, food, and fellowship. Each House Party is constructed and operated differently but all have the same thing in mind; spend time together reading, talking, and pondering various religious points. (scripture, questions, events of the week etc.) However, due to peoples schedule change during the summer (i.e. vacation time) House Parties do not meet, enter Summer Groups. Summer Groups are not necessarily about studying the bible or praying at every get together, they are more centered on just getting together and having fun in a family friendly environment. So if you've got some free time this summer but aren't so sure about going to church just yet give our summer groups a try, even if you decide not to come to SCC I guarantee you will have a good time!



You can sign up and get more info here, or you can just check out our website here.

Independence

     At what age should we, as humans, become totally independent? Making our own decisions, providing for ourselves, and leaving the nest. When should we, as parents, allow our children (not that I have any) to become independent? At some point we, as both children and parents, need to make a mutual decision to move out and grow up, however even though our earthly parents have to come to terms with and make plans for allowing us to move out and fend for ourselves in this world there is one parent that is not planning for the day we leave the nest, but the day that we return. (John 14:1-3) Independence is great, but at the same time it is comforting to know there will be someone to turn to in times of need and even though friends and family may no longer be with us there is someone who will never leave our side, He goes by many names but one that is consistently known is Jesus Christ and He loves us more that anyone can imagine. Reach out to Him and see what He is capable of, spend time with Him today and feel His presence, read His word and hear His voice, it is truly comforting.

We are intentional.






     This has been on my mind for a few days now and I can't help but ask myself "Am I intentional?" I mean yeah I intentionally wake up and go to class then intentionally go to work but aside from that. Am I intentionally spending time with the father? Am I intentionally speaking life into those around me throughout my day? Am I intentionally showing on the outside what I believe on the inside? How can I work on these areas and be a constant messenger for The Lord? What do you feel you should be more intentional about, how do you work on those areas?
