3. God Sightings
Many people have a feeling of anticipation. God is on the move. Something is coming; He has something in the works. Keep praying for this next season of North Heights.

A longtime North Heights member that left has come back recently. It is so exciting to see her back with us.

The Twin Cities Mission Trip is this week. Youth from many area churches are gathering together here.
They are based out of North Heights and then going out to do ministry in various locations throughout the Twin Cities during the week.
The number of students projected to participate has been reached.

Backyard Bible Club took place last week at Roseville. It was really beautiful. Thank you to Jane Tramm and her team.
There were 80-100 kids participating daily. A significant number are from the neighborhood, who were invited in a door-to-door effort.
God is doing something amazing.

4. T J’s Report
Unity in the staff is growing. They are working on how to move forward. This is the first time in nine years that a staff person
has worked out of an office in Roseville, and we will grow that in the near future. There is now excitement and commitment by
the whole staff and it is getting better and better every week.

We have received good leads for the Kid’s Ministry Coordinator opening.

Bob Burmeister’s Jubilee Year Celebration will be Sunday, September 7.

The Fall Kickoff will be Sunday, September 14.

An emphasis on Small Groups will be coming in the near future.
