[All Church] Hello from Estes Park!

[Mike Klunke]

Hello church!
 
            The fall of 2010 is coming soon!  Now, I know that summer isn¹t
even half over and that there are 62 more days to swim and grill and hang
out and relax.  I¹m not trying to get ahead of myself but rather I¹m hoping
to be prepared.  The crew out here has been learning and growing and truth
be told, basking in God¹s radiant creation!  We¹ll bring back stories of
glacier sliding, polar bear plunges (Andrew and Evan!) peaks bagged, lives
changed and fun had by all.  But we¹ve also been preparing ourselves for
what God is going to do in and through us this August.
 
            Rob and I shot a video for the website that new students will
check out.  Bear Lake, half frozen on June 4th looks nothing like Illinois.
But the shots are totally amazing!!!  This week the staff are traveling out
and we¹ll be spending some time planning and dreaming together.
 
(The freshman are coming!  Can you hear them?)
 
            In preparation for this coming school year I want to invite you
all to fast together as a church for this next school year.  I am planning
on fasting on July 15th and August 15th to get my heart ready, my prayers
lifted up and to communicate to God that we desperately need him.
 
            So on July 15th I want to encourage you to fast and while
fasting to pray that God would be glorified on campus through us!
Specifically, that we would meet and come to know as many students as
possible this year. That many would come to know Jesus because we are doing
our part.  That lives would be changed and spaces would be touched and that
God would do the amazing among us.  That Home Groups would be awesome places
to connect!  That the Rock would...ROCK!  That our planned events would
bring people in.  That the different ministries would lift up high the name
of Jesus!
 
            On August 15th let¹s pray that we would be a radically loving,
unified, relationally whole church.  That nothing would keep us from being
united in the Spirit through the bond of peace (Eph 4:3).  That we would
have Christ-exalting love in our relationships and that many would see and
come to know Jesus because Cornerstone reflects the Father¹s great love.
 
            Get ready.  They¹re coming.  Lives are changing.  God¹s on the
move.  He wants you.  He¹s spreading a passion for His name!
 
With love and hoping you¹ll join me on the 15th¹s,
Mike
 
PSA on fasting: Fasting is a way for you to submit your hunger for food for
a hunger for God. Typically when I fast, I¹m aware of my hunger which makes
me aware of the reason why I¹m fasting which causes me to pray for God to do
something.  Some of you can¹t/shouldn¹t fast for health reasons. That¹s OK.
If you¹ve never fasted before, please, please drink fluids.  When you break
a fast, don¹t break it with fried chicken or greasy food or Taco Bell,
you¹ll regret it.
