New Ministries. We are busy building a stronger Men’s Ministry and getting new ministries off the ground: Pursuit Ministry (follow-up with visitors), Connection Ministry (helping new members get connected with the life of our church), and School to Church Bridge (helping unchurched school families connect with our church). Some of these ministries are up and running and others are still being formed, but we are getting there.
Love Works. Our first ever series focusing on compassion ministry—that is, God’s call for us to reach out to the helpless and hurting in our world—is planned for May 22 - June 5. The series is titled “Love Works” and will include a fair trade fair, a well-building opportunity through Living Water, and a community service project. We have lot’s of love to give, so let’s put it to work!
Facility Stewardship. Now that congregational Vice President Rick Grenz has educated us on the need to raise 150k (only 16k given so far) to replace our Heat/AC system in the gym, we will likely be holding a mini capital campaign asking members to make one-year commitments. More on this later.
School News. We are currently very busy interviewing candidates to fill our 7th and 8th grade positions in our school. Keep us in your prayers. Our new principal Anna Hu will be visiting us over spring break and plans to arrive here and begin serving July 1st.
Small groups is where it’s at. What’s “it”? A growing, serving, personally invigorating life in Christ. We have an outstanding Small Group Leadership team working overtime to help all of our members hook up with a small group. Already in one? Been in the same group for 2, 3 or more years? Try starting a new group. In Revelation 21:5 and II Corinthians 5:17 God talks about creating “new” things. God likes “new” things. Consider something new in your life.
