First, a slight apology. We are trying to update the look of our blog and, as you can tell, we are still working out the kinks! Patience, please, but I wanted to go a head and send an update before we got it looking all pretty. : )
Once again, there is much to discuss so I'll try to keep it short and sweet.
Redeemer Church Update
Things are moving one step at a time. It is most definitely a roller-coaster ride. Some times are incredibly energizing and exciting - and other times can be super difficult and defeating. But God is moving through it all and we have seen Him do great things in the lives of people in our Church. Keep praying for the Spirit to move powerfully among us! Here is a list of some things that have happened in the last month and a half.
- Women's Bible Study is growing: both in numbers and in depth!
- Started a weekly Men's Bible Study (to catch up to the ladies!): The Spirit is most definitely at work!
- Faith and Culture: We've had one of these with two more scheduled this summer
- That means Redeemer Church McKinney is officially a 501c3 non-profit! Woo-hoo!
- We are waiting to receive a few more documents before we can set up a bank account and start accepting contributions. But stay tuned!
- Vision Events - While our June event didn't have as many attenders as we hoped, we have many more RSVP'd for our BBQ in July. Pray the Spirit will move!

- Continued wisdom, support and guidance from the Acts 29 Church Planting Network
Prayers
- That the Spirit would grow us deeper and bring more people alongside us to launch Redeemer
- We will be fundraising starting next month and need many partners to join us in the gospel
- Jesus would be glorified in us as disciples making disciples
Other Opportunities
Not only are things moving in our church but God has brought other opportunities also. Here's another short list of other ways God is moving.
- Led worship for a Baptist Church around the corner from us. Praying for a strong relationship.
- Along with our neighbors, we had a community BBQ in our front yard to reach out.
- We were part of the Chamber of Commerce's New Member's Showcase
- Preaching at Mercy Church in Frisco on July 14th and July 21st.

Mike and Erin
We also have some fun stuff coming up! Erin and I will be celebrating our 2 year anniversary on Monday and are spending the day together. Erin's best friend is getting married next weekend and so we are very excited about that.
I, Mike, have started working part-time for WelcomeMat Services. A gracious fellow believer in the Chamber of Commerce reached out to me and so I am learning about life on commission! : )
Pray for You
Please let us know how we can be praying for you! Email me at mike@redeemermckinney.com and let us know how we can be lifting you up!
Thank you everyone for your love, prayers and support. Pray that God multiplies what He has already done in the lives of the people here!
