In the coming weeks, as we prepare to go on a missions trip to Casa de Luz in Mexico and run our Summer Soccer Camp, we will begin looking at what it means, and what it might look like in our personal lives as well as a church, to begin Reaching Out. The title of the series is People of the Open Door and we will be exploring the themes presented in a book by John Ortberg, All the Places to Go, both in our worship service as well as our adult Sunday School.
