ACCELERATEThe church of Spirit-filled disciple-makers of Jesus Christ always moves forward. Not because of man's great strategy and agenda but because Jesus is very much alive and at work today as He was two millennia ago. The Gospel of Luke and its sequel, the Book of Acts, are summarized as "Jesus' ministry on earth, exercised personally and publicly... followed by His ministry from heaven, exercised through His Holy Spirit by His apostles" respectively (Stott). This is one book that is still being written to this day. It awaits new chapters to be added as far as Christ's disciples, His Church, are Spirit-filled and led. In this series of Moving Forward, we will find the church ACCELERATE and sail through HEADWINDS in the power of the Spirit as it pushes its way to the ends of the earth. The church of disciple-makers should expect nothing less because the same Jesus who walked and worked 2000 years ago walks and works to this day through His Holy Spirit and by His disciples. So church, are you ready to move forward to walk and work with Jesus?

PHILOXENIA PROJECTIn the New Testament, philoxenia is normally translated to "hospitality." In Greek, it would be spelled as "love for strangers". As a community of Christ-followers, we encourage you to embark with us on this faith commitment to renew our campus. We ask that you prayerfully consider supporting our project through pledging to give financially. Let this be a means to a further end as we reach out to more neighbors, familiar or not. Let us seek to be a church that fosters a welcoming environment that effectively serves our community for the glory of God.
For those who were not able to make pledges last November 25, you may still do so and drop the pledge cards in the offering plate. |
WHO'S YOUR 1: FRIEND DAYOur church will be participating on North American Mission Board's newest evangelistic effort, "Who's Your 1?". We will be launching this campaign on June 30 as a key element of our "Moving Forward" theme for the remainder of 2019, with multiple Friend Days (special days dedicated to evangelism) to follow throughout the year. Baptism will follow immediately after service.
