ServeWell
As we look forward to a luxurious stretch of summer ahead of us, we wanted to encourage you to consider spending some of that time fellowshipping through service at one of many local outreach opportunities.
Invite a friend or group to help sort or serve food at the South Hayward Parish. Join a project on Project Peace's Summer Serve Day on June 21! Both of these opportunities require little prep aside from signing up and showing up on the day of. Many opportunities through Project Peace welcome all ages. Join Neil Kwon on his next outing on 7/19 to serve the homeless with Hope 680. Take a look at our ServeWellp doc for the places Wellspringers have served to help you make a more informed decision. Or email Margaret Chiang with any other questions you might have.
We'd love to see what you're up to, through any of these or your own service opportunities -- post it to our Happenings page on WhatsApp!
Points of Connection
The "Points of Connection" surveys completed at the Retreat are being shared in the WhatsApp group "Points of Connection" (formerly "Retreat 2024). The link is below for those who want to have not joined already.
The purpose of the survey is to help make a connection resulting in “You, too?” and possibly start a conversation. Surveys along with the photos requested prior to the retreat were posted on the “Wall of Connection” in Wellspring Café (that is, Brookside Room at Mount Hermon Conference Center).
Surveys will be shared online only after the "Points of Connection" team reaches out for permission unless you are submitting for the first time now.
We are migrating from our church Forum to a WhatsApp community as a means of connection and online community. To find out what type of WhatsApp groups there are for Wellspring, click HERE to find out more info to join our community.

Gospel Summer
Gospel Summer: Intentional Discipleship (Continued)
As the gospel bears fruit and grows in the believer "since the day you heard it and understood the grace of God in truth" (Colossians 1:6), Jesus and His gospel impacts the home and beyond. The implications of the gospel is worked out into three areas: marriage and parenting and its proclamation.
