CAMP
In June, Lifestone sent 20 students to a camp near Park City, UT. The kids had a blast connecting with their peers from other churches and learning about God's love for them! Most of our students attend school and live in neighborhoods where they are the minority because of their faith, and so they found it especially encouraging to be at camp surrounded by tons of students their age who also follow the Jesus of the Bible! Check out these pics from both the High School and Middle School camps!We love the bungee swing! |
Camp culminated on the last day with a hike and a mountain-top worship service! |
VOLUNTEER BASH
In July, we threw a Backyard Bash to celebrate and show appreciation to Lifestone's 60 Volunteers! Lifestone would not be making the impact it is here in Herriman without the faithful service of our amazing volunteers who greet, teach, set up, and tear down week after week! Check out these pics from the bash!
SUMMER LIFEGROUPS
This Summer, Lifestone facilitated 5 LifeGroups who met in homes throughout the week and participated in a study called Christianity Explored. Through this study, we have examined exactly who Jesus was and is by reading through the gospel of Mark. Life-long believers and skeptic seekers alike have enjoyed discovering the Jesus of the Bible, His humble heart, His sacrificial service, and how big His love is for us even today!
BAPTISM CELEBRATION
On August 23rd, we will have another Baptism Celebration! Already, 7 new believers have asked to be baptized on this day to publicly share their decisions to allow Jesus to be Lord of their lives! Please join us in thanking God for the courage of these new believers, as Biblical baptism is a huge statement of faith in this area where Biblical Christianity is still very foreign. Please also pray that the hearts of these individuals' family members will be softened and that ultimately they, too, will come to trust in the Jesus of the Bible!
AN ANSWER TO PRAYER!
And now for our big announcement! We will meet at the local Recreation Center for only 3 more Sundays! Beginning on Sunday, August 30th, we will begin meeting at Providence Hall High School, a beautiful charter high school right here in Herriman! We will have access to the gymnasium-complete with a large stage, a cafeteria-where our elementary students will meet, a band hall-which we'll use for our nursery, and a large classroom where our 4 & 5 year olds will meet. We'll post pics of these amazing spaces soon! We are ecstatic about this opportunity to provide "more space for grace" as we seek to share the good news about Jesus with ALL of Herriman! This is such an answer to prayer! We know that many of you have prayed for more than a year now that God would provide more space for Lifestone to meet on Sunday mornings. Please pray that God uses Lifestone's new meeting place to reach this community with His awesome love!
