This Sunday, we are beginning a four-week series on our mission as as church before officially starting our Building Fund on November 21.
WHAT YOU WILL NOT NEED THIS WEEK: YOUR CHECKBOOK.
As you can imagine, starting our Building Fund will include receiving an offering. However, that will not be until November 21.
So, don’t bring your Building Fund check. In fact, please don’t even begin thinking about money!
(Now, obviously, you may be planning to bring your tithe check on Sunday. If so, please do!)
WHAT YOU WILL NEED: YOUR PRAYERFUL PARTICIPATION.
Instead of a checkbook, bring a prayerful heart.
We want this series to go slowly.
We want these to be slow moments for us together.
We will look back to remember how God has been at work among us. We will look out to consider where God has placed us. We will look forward to consider what God has called us to do.
We will do this by hearing testimonies, watching videos, & praying together!
In addition, we will studying the following passages together:
Oct 31 | Galatians 2:11-21 | The Church’s Message
Nov 7 | 1 Peter 2:4-8 | The Church’s Ministry
Nov 14 | Haggai | Guest Speaker Bill Kittrell!
Nov 21 | 1 Peter 2:9-10 | The Church’s Mission
HOW TO PRAY IN PREPARATION.
Pray for God to be with us each of these four Sundays with a clear sense of his presence & his goodness towards our church.
Pray for God to give us wisdom as we officially begin this Building Fund.
Pray for God to provide a permanent location, a place we could call “home.”
Pray for God to prepare our hearts to sacrificially give.
Pray for God to open our eyes to the harvest in our community & give us a greater resolve to labor in the fields.
Pray for God to bless our church for generations to come, including positioning us in a permanent location that would allow us to train up future generations.
