Welcome to the Weekly Word!
September 10 - Pastor Zach



Weekly Word
This Sunday is our Grand Opening! This will be a great day of celebration and gratitude for God's faithful provision. Invite others to come visit!
Teaching Journals - Gospel of John
This Sunday we begin year 2 of our study through the Gospel of John. For all you notetakers, we will have new teaching journals available this Sunday for sale ($5) in the Commons.
After each service, there will be inflatables, food trucks, and cake.
Ministry Fair - At the Kids end of the Commons, there will be a ministry fair showcasing all the different ministries at Freshwater and ways you can get involved.
Overflow Parking - We are able to use Crown colleges parking lot for overflow parking. There will be a bus shuttle running from 8am to 1pm, please utilize this when our lot is full. It's a good problem! And we're so thankful for Crown to allow this.
Ribbon Cutting - After second service, we will have our official ribbon cutting. We have invited our builder and other construction project team members to be present, as well as the Waconia Chamber and Crown College. It will truly be a great celebration.

Lobby Display
Part of our lobby display arrived and was installed this week. It is fun to see the space come together. Displaying our mission statement - our "why" - is so important newcomers to see and as a regular reminder for all of us.
Our logo will be over the blue portion in the middle, and we have other signage coming like - coffee shop sign, Kid Central sign, and a display for our Global Impact ministry.

Financial Update - July
Everything you give goes to everything we do, like our youth programs, support groups, missions work, and the new building.
July is the beginning of our fiscal year. Total giving in July was $153,463. That is a wonderful start to the fiscal year. That covered our expenses in July.
Giving in August was below our budgeted need. After our month end accounting process and elder board review, we will post the numbers here.
We ask you to partner with Freshwater to fund everything we do as a church family to reach and restore one more.
