Well, good morning. Welcome to Real Life Church. My name is Brayden. I am the youth pastor here. And we just want to say welcome. If you are our first time guest, we do this at youth. If you are a first time guest, would you raise your hand real high this morning? Raise it real high. Everybody look around. Come on, give it up for our first time guest this morning. We are so glad that you are in the room this morning. Come on. If you would, if you are a first time guest, go ahead and take out your phone and you will see in the seat back in front of you, there is a disc. You can go ahead and tap that disc and a digital connection card will go, it will pop up on your phone like boom, it's there.
And we just ask that you would fill it out. We are not going to blow up your phone. We are not going to blow up your email. We just want to say thank you for coming and that we care about you guys. And if you would, on your way out after service, you can stop by Next Steps. We'll have a free gift for you that you can pick up on your way out. I got a couple announcements for you. This Friday is the Summer Fun Night. So if you have kids, kindergarten through fifth grade, this is the night for them. There's going to be water. There's going to be obstacle course, water games, all the fun stuff, worship.
We're going to have a message from the Bible to encourage the students. And we just ask you, go ahead, sign up on Church Center. That deadline is coming up, and we want your kids to be involved. We want your kids to experience this night. They can build friendships and have a great time. I know last year was a blast. They had like this foam thing, and we were just running through it, and it was so much fun. You would have thought I was a kid. But if you're not a kid and you don't have a kid going, maybe you do have a kid going, you can also serve at this night. You can sign up on Church Center. It'll say Volunteer Registration. You can sign up to serve because we need volunteers, right? We need volunteers that are gonna go through the obstacle course with some kids and have some fun, all right? So get out of your comfort zone. You can sign up on Church Center if you're interested in serving. RLC 101 is next week. How many of you are serving around here at Real Life Church?
Come on, what are the rest of you doing? That's like 10 hands, man.
We encourage you, RLC 101, if you're new to the church or you want to get plugged in to serve here, you can come to RLC 101 next week. After third service, you'll hear the mission, the vision, the values of Real Life Church. And you're not just, when you step in to serve, you're not just serving somebody else, right? But when you serve somebody else, that is actually attached to your spiritual growth. And we want to partner with you. We want to help you not only serve others, but walk into all that God has for you as you grow in your spiritual growth. Amen? Amen. So you can sign up on Church Center, RLC 101, next week after third service, food and childcare will be provided.
It's almost time for school. Who's ready for school to start? The parents are like, get my kids out of here.
So we're going to, as Real Life Church, and as the church, the body of Christ, we're going to bless some teachers in our community. So you'll see in the lobby, you can grab a tote. It's called Totes for Teachers. Grab a tote, sign up. There's only 13 left. First service absolutely knocked it out of the park. So second service, we can't be slacking, all right? We can't let first service win, all right? Grab a tote, there's gonna be a supply list. Fill that supply list, everything that they need, put it in the tote and bring it back here by August 2nd. And we will be passing out to those teachers when school starts. Are you ready to give this morning? Come on.
