Next week begins our BHCC Fall Open House! My favorite time of year! Even though our church is really an OPEN House every Sunday - there's something very inviting about calling it an "Open House" to the general public. We're all used to hearing the term and we know what it means - that this is a special time set aside that we WANT visitors to come and check us out!

People know that they won't be the only ones visiting and will hopefully feel more comfortable with that knowledge. They know they are WELCOME and wanted at our church! Our message series is called "Starting Over - Your Life Beyond Regrets." We all need to start over sometimes. Maybe a start over in your faith, maybe a start over in a new church. Is there anything more enticing than the thought of a FRESH Start? That's what we know God is anxious to give us. But in order to start over, first we must move beyond our regrets and make peace with the past. That's what this new message series will help you do!

Throughout this message series, we'll learn how to recognize specific regrets and release them to God as we learn to see our regrets as opportunities to start over. Finally, we can see God redeem our regrets as he takes the worst things in our lives and uses them for a greater good.

Your regrets don't need to keep you from the joy God has for your life. As you apply the recognize-release-redeem process to your financial, relational, and personal regrets, you will find new freedom in living out your God-given dreams.

Our church is a great place to start over! We believe the love of God and the grace of God are the most important aspects of being able to find joy and peace in our lives. It's about a relationship with Jesus, not about being religious. God doesn't care as much about where you've been as He does about where you're going. And He wants us all to have a God family to help & strenghten our faith - and that's what the church is - a FAMILY!. If you don't have one - we invite you to check out ours! It might just be the best decision you ever made! A chance to Start Over in healthy ways!

See you Sunday!
