I hope you are doing well as you head into this fall.
If you’re feeling too busy already, please give my sermon from last Sunday a listen right away! It is all about “Peace and Pace”. Thomas Merton said “hurry is violence” and Carl Jung once said, “Hurry isn’t from the devil. It is the devil.”
A lot of people have found it helpful already, so check it out!
This coming Sunday, August 29, our subject will be “Anxiety and Meditation”. Let’s learn about how Christian meditation can focus our minds, our emotions, and also our lives. Our own John Barbour will be preaching and Anne will be leading worship. If you’d like to read ahead, please take a look at Psalm 1 and Joshua 1:7-9. These passages are amazing!
As we begin fall together, we are launching new Community Groups and also a marriage study called “Complement” (click to watch a preview). Please reach out to groups@conejochurch.com to join a group. Remember: The Christian life was never designed to be lived alone.
We can’t wait to see you on Sunday. We are continuing to gather inside, outside, and online. Masks are provided if you would like one.
May God bless you as you seek Him this week,
Pastor Kirk
This Sunday Speaker – Pastor John Barbour
Family Friendly Service Opps!
Volunteers are always needed at James Storehouse. Contact them about ways you can serve our foster community as a family!
Have you considered bringing your spouse and kids together to PRAY as an act of family service? What an opportunity to model the most effective way we can act on behalf of one another! Set aside 30 minutes each week for a month and practice caring for people through prayer! How about adopting…
the medical staff at Los Robles Hospital
the firemen and women of a local firehouse
the homeless community in a particular area
the wait-staff at an eatery you like to go to
the teaching/admin staff at your kids school
the elderly who live in a local care facility
Next week, we will begin collecting restaurant gift cards to encourage hospital staff members who are going through a very challenging season right now.
Stay tuned for anther serve day at Thunderbird, and for the next serve evening at Hope Outreach Food Pantry.

Mike and Vanessa have been an important part of our Conejo Church family for a very long time!
