Summer Sunday Nights 2009

Now that the first Sunday Night Engage semester is complete, we would like to provide a Sunday night schedule for the summer that continues to meet the needs of the congregation in a different way. Sunday evenings during this summer will hold a variety of events and some purposeful free time. Each month will have one worship service, one church-wide fellowship, one slot for Sunday School parties, and one Sunday night off so that members can spend time with the people of their choosing.

Resignation Letter

May 24, 2009

Precious church family,

My family and I have enjoyed a seven year walk with the Lord together as Canyon Creek family. In the previous months we have realized that God has invited us into some new experiences. He has made it clear that the next step for our family will be in missions. We will be working with other missionaries to start new churches in Wisconsin. We hope to be sent by a congregation that well knows the need for every person to have a good church family; a church family whose dream it is to see that new churches are planted in all sorts of places especially those with less of a Christian witness than we have enjoyed. The Turner family has been blessed by such a warm and wonderful church as Canyon Creek has been. The blessing of this church staff and lay leadership has made me a better Christian, I could not have found better partners in ministry. They have also laid a strong foundation for my family. We pray that the next chapters of Canyon Creek’s story continue to be a tribute to God and his faithfulness. We will make July 12th, 2009 our last. May God truly guide each new step.

With sincerest love and prayers,

Trey Turner

Building Relationships, Making Disciples

The strong and lasting connections made during deliberate fellowships are undeniable. Many families who have participated and served alongside us had their beginnings at Canyon Creek as a direct result of these special times. We wanted to give opportunities for those this summer and grow into a new Fall schedule. You will notice the summer schedule includes, time for worship as a group, time for whole church outreach and fellowship, and time for class outreach and fellowship. The newsletter says:

Not only will the Sunday morning schedule change for the summer, but the Sunday night schedule will changes as well. Canyon Creek has enjoyed a great first semester of Engage discipleship and looks forward to beginning a new semester in September. But for the summer, the schedule will look as follows:
  • June 7 Worship Service
  • June 14 Sunday School Parties
  • June 21 No Services
  • June 28 Church-wide Fellowship
  • July 5 No Services
  • July 12 Worship Service
  • July 19 Church-wide Fellowship
  • July 26 Sunday School Parties
  • August 2 No Services
  • August 9 Worship Service
  • August 16 Church-wide Fellowship
  • August 23 Sunday School Parties
  • August 30 To Be Determined
  • … look forward to a great summer of fulfilling our mission statement.
