eWeekly 10.26.25

This Weekend

Our kiddos are really moving up in the world! Or at least to the next chapter of their lives. This Sunday, May 31st, we're going to celebrate our high school graduates and our 5th graders making the move to middle school from the stage. Be sure to have yours in attendance!

After service, there will be a photo op in the lobby so you can capture the memory of the day and resources that parents, grandparents, and guardians can take home to help with these transitions.

Next Week

Every Wednesday from 10-11 AM, Pastor Elijah would love to sit down and have coffee in our lobby for all our 55+ folks out there.

Right now, we're diving into the book Remaking the World, an interesting look at the year 1776 and how it shaped our modern Western World. Come hang out with us, grab a book, and join in the discussion!

Not 55+ but still want to attend? No worries, we'll see you there!


Calling All Weary Moms!

You are invited to be encouraged through "Mothering on Empty: How Mom's Like You Found God's Joy"

Motherhood is beautiful—but it can also be exhausting, lonely, and overwhelming. When the weight of it all starts to dim your joy, it’s easy to feel like you’re running on empty.

Mothering on Empty is a newly releasing book that offers heartfelt encouragement for weary moms, reminding you that God’s joy isn’t reserved for “someday”—it’s available right now. Through relatable stories, biblical truth, and gentle guidance, this book meets you in the middle of the chaos and points you back to lasting joy.

You’re invited to celebrate the launch!
Join us for a special book launch event on June 4 from 6:00–7:30 PM at Overflow Church. This open house-style evening will include a brief message from author Ashley Durand around 6:30 pm, opportunities to get your book signed, a giveaway for a free copy, and space to connect and be encouraged.

To learn more about the book, or to pre-order your copy go to https://www.motheringonempty.com

Come join us to hear some of your favorite songs and support your church!

The Jamaica Missions team is holding a massive silent auction at the Hartford Speedway on June 13th from 3-7:30 PM! Even if you're not into racing, come bid on some amazing items donated from businesses in our community. You could walk away with an item for less than retail price, and all proceeds go directly to the team heading down to Jamaica this August!

Expect to find everything from new Whirlpool appliances to restaurant gift cards, massages, golf packages, zoo tickets, salon packages, and a whole lot more.

It's time to celebrate summer! Join us on Sunday, June 14th from 12:30 to 2:30PM for a fun (and wet) afternoon for the whole family! We'll have water inflatables, a dunk tank, games, food trucks, and some cool treats. You and your family won't want to miss it!

Open Table is your opportunity to get plugged in here at Overflow. Join us in the Lounge for refreshments and to learn about Overflow’s direction as a church and ways you can get involved. We’ll also walk through the aspects of church membership and what it means to call Overflow your church home.

Our next Open Table is June 14th after both services.

Other Important Info

Our end-of-fiscal-year reports are here! Click here to view and/or download your copy, where you can see what Overflow has been up to and where we're headed from here.

It's worth a read whether you attended the Town Hall meeting or not, since we didn't have time to cover everything at the meeeting.

We've launched our Freedom Prayer program here at Overflow! Freedom Prayer is a personal prayer ministry designed to help overcome the hangups that keep us from a stronger relationship with God. It deals with wounding, sin, entanglements, and ungodly beliefs that can cause continual struggle with God and others.

It doesn't matter if you have big hurts, little hurts, or maybe even something you're not aware of. We'd love to pray with you all the same.

Sign up for a 1-2 hour session here and break free of the burdens holding you back from a more intimate relationship with God!
Overflow now has the beginnings of a member directory! You can find it on our website at https://overflowchurch.org/directory using GenerateHope as the password.

We'd love to get even more families on here, so please navigate to our form so we can learn more about you as well!
