40 DAYS !!

Yep, it is here. 40 Days of Community

Fall Series at the Vineyard Church.

STARTING NEXT SUNDAY AND THROUGHOUT THE WEEK IN SmALL GROUPS.

What is it?
This is what Rick Warren says.
Community doesn’t happen automatically. And joining a church doesn’t guarantee fellowship! You can attend church services your entire life and still feel lonely and disconnected. The Bible says, “You must learn to be considerate of one another, cultivating a life in common” (1 Corinthians 1:10, MSG). Notice that fellowship is something we must learn how to do. It must be intentionally cultivated. The focus of this 40-day journey is on fulfilling God’s five purposes together. We’ll do this two ways: first, by deepening the community of love within our church family, and second, by reaching out in love to the community around our church family. Both are essential for a healthy, balanced, purpose driven life.

For those of you who do not know, Kim DuPree is Eisley's MOM, and she leads worship here at the Vineyard. Boyd DuPree is Eisley's DAD, and he plays the drums with the worship band when he is not on the road. What an AMAZING couple they are! Hey y'all, thanks for giving us Eisley and thanks for also sharing your own personal gifts with us. When Eisley is in town, they are in the worship band. (How fortunate we are!) Who does what: Chauntelle DuPree: guitars/vocals, Stacy DuPree: keys, lead vocals, guitars, writer, Weston DuPree: drums, Garron DuPree: bass/guitars, Sherri DuPree: guitars, lead vocals, writer.

Pray for God's continued blessings on them, and "buy" the way, "buy" their CD!

My son, Levi, has been enjoying Eisley's sound for, I don't know how long... almost 7 or 10 years? I lose track of time. Anyhow, when we moved to Tyler from Dallas 2 years ago, bam! here they were in the Vineyard! WOW.
