Hello Everyone! <\/strong>Summer is officially almost to an end here in the Twin Ports! Well, not entirely over, we\u2019ve still got a bit of sunshine left on the docket, and we\u2019ve definitely been making the most of the beautiful weather and heat while it lasts!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of heat, one nice cool update we\u2019ve added to combat the blistering temperatures is an AC unit in the balcony of our Sanctuary. If you haven\u2019t checked out the construction upgrades that have been made, I highly recommend it viewing the handiwork! Some of the other fun things and updates happening in Duluth are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bike Trip And Fun Times<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once a year (sometimes more) when the weather complies, we like to break out our bicycles and hit the streets. This year we biked over 30 miles from Duluth all the way to Carlton and back where we stopped for food and fellowship. We even got to help a gentleman out with a flat tire on the trail. It was cool to have the tools, equipment, and know-how to bless a community member in need. The trek back to Duluth went much quicker than the ride down, and it culminated in getting ice cream together. Halfway through the bike ride, we stopped at a waterfall and did a bit of hiking together. Unfortunately, we only saw one penny-farth on the trail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to our bike trip, since the nice weather is so fleeting, this past month we also made a trip out to Gordy\u2019s in Cloquet. Another great time of fellowship, food, and good conversation with family and friends from the community. This is another Duluth favorite, we like to at least make it out here for great food once a year (sometimes more).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rainy 4th of July didn\u2019t stop us from playing with fireworks and eating chicken. Our coffee house was opened up and we spent the drizzly day playing board games in fellowship and eating some very delectable entrees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Church<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re continuing our study through Matthew on Sundays, recently going through Matthew 6 and looking at the issue of our motives. Our Wednesdays have been consistent with rewinds which have been great! Small group discussions revolving around the previous Sunday\u2019s message have helped to keep what we\u2019ve been learning on Sunday in our minds, as well as getting the chance to learn new insights and perspectives from others all while connecting deeper and being vulnerable with each other. On non-rewind Wednesdays, we\u2019ve continued through our Men\u2019s and Women\u2019s book studies (Disciplines of a Godly Man \/ Godly Woman) along with finishing up the Book of Jeremiah on the more traditional Wednesday services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking Ahead<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Please keep missions in prayer both local and foreign as we have members of the family here going on mission soon! A team is set to travel to New Orleans very soon, please keep them in prayer to stay flexible and remember that God is in control. We\u2019ve also got people planning to head out to the Philippines and India in the near future so please pray for their safety, protection, and nearness to God as they prep for the good works ahead of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please also keep Street Level and our Campus Church in prayer as we continue planning and seeing how this Fall shakes out. We\u2019ve got a lot of exciting changes on the horizon and we\u2019re looking forward to seeing what God has in store for this community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s all for now folks, God has continued to bless us and we are grateful to be a part of his kingdom. Thanks for praying for us and we\u2019ll see you in the next update!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
