LIFE TOGETHER: THE GATHERED CHURCH

cck+life+together+church+slide[5][5].png

There is still time to sign up for the Life Together conference coming up!

After more than a year of trying to figure out if we can gather as a church, how we gather as a church, & where we gather as a church, we think it’s the perfect time to remember why we gather as a church.

That’s why we are excited to gather with our region of churches (from Knoxville, Franklin, Louisville, & Arkansas) & the folks at Sovereign Grace Music to consider why we gather.

It is for you.

We will be considering why our gatherings are to be:

  • God-initiated & God-exalting.

  • Scripture-governed & fueled.

  • Gospel-centered & driven.

  • Spirit-enabled & empowered.

  • Congregationally-aware & prioritized.

HERE’S ALL THE DETAILS YOU NEED TO KNOW

  • WHERE: Cornerstone Church (1250 Heritage Lake Blvd, Knoxville, TN, 37303)

  • WHEN: Thursday evening (July 29)—Saturday morning (July 31)

  • HOW MUCH: $15 per individual / $35 per family

  • REGISTER HERE!

PRAY FOR OUR YOUTH GOING TO ADVANCE

Many of our middle & high-school students are leaving Thursday for several nights at the ADVANCE youth retreat!

It’ll be 3 days jam-packed with messages, meals, conversations, free time, games, prayer, & more!

Let’s pray for them while they are there—that God would do more than we could ask or imagine in these several days set aside.

Pray specifically for them to:

  • encounter God in specific ways through his Word & the messages

  • build stronger relationships with parents & friends

  • deepen their understanding of the gospel & who God says they are in Christ

  • have fun!

Please pray for them!

MEXICO+Mission+Trip.png

It was such a joy to hear all about the mission trip to Rancho 3M Orphanage in Mexico yesterday! And especially to hear from Rachel!

Taylor referenced several ways we can pray for the orphanage.

Please join us in praying for:

  • Salvation for the children, particularly for them to know God the Father’s love.

  • Good working relationship with Mexico’s children’s services (similar to DCS in the United States).

  • More short term mission trips to come to serve the orphanage & the children (COVID has unfortunately significantly reduced these trips).

  • Financial & other provision for the orphanage & staff.
