THE LOOP



Finding Hope @ God’s HOUSE will be a series at VERGE LIFE that defines the church as a place of rescue, report (diagnosis) and recovery. We’ll be spoofing of the hugely popular TV medical drama HOUSE. This will be a great time to bring the un-churched and de-churched. There will be invite postcards available on Saturday night.

OLD NEWS:

VERGE ONE Spring Worship Experience-
On Saturday, May 6 we had an incredible time of worship as all the Verge ministries gathered for our third Verge One service. On Sunday, Bryan Thompson and Jeremy Pinkerton brought the sound and lights into the big house and the Verge Life team brought the worship. What an awesome time of bridge-building. We’ve only heard good things about that service! Where else have you seen 70- something's dancing to All Day?

ALIEN YOUTH ACADEMY
Didn’t all of our special speakers do an incredible job?!!! And all of our team captains! Special props to Tierra, Kendall and Bryan for stepping out of the boat and bringing the Word.

CONGRATS TO TIERRA SPRIGGS and CLIFFORD the Big Red Dawg – for being chosen “King of the Moment” by our leadership staff.

TESTIMONY:
Sam & Laura were in an interstate accident with their big rig. Several cars were involved as were a few Kansas cows who decided to walk onto the road. Praise God- NO ONE was hurt, their camper was unscathed and their truck is being repaired for reasonable cost. God has provided miraculously through it all and the ministry is movin’ on! Keep ‘em in prayer as God opens new doors of opportunity!
