Vision Night & Seek Week
On Sunday we heard from Mike in the Worship Center and Austin in The Commons about the first part of our vision on Follow. The two new worship services in The Commons got off to a great start. This is an exciting adventure!
Both Mike and Austin preached on Follow Jesus as a Disciple. In the coming two weeks, September 14 and 21, Mike and Austin will preach on the other two parts of the vision, Connect and Go. All together, the three-part vision comes straight out of the Bible:
• Follow Jesus as a disciple.
• Connect with others as part of a spiritual family.
• Go into our world as a missionary.
This is a vision that we want to wrap all of our ministries around. Already, we are organizing our Ministry Teams in line with our vision. Here are most, if not all, of the major ministry areas of our church aligned with our vision:
• Follow: Worship, Creative Arts, New Community (Rooted) and Prayer
• Connect: Children, Students, Community Groups (and Adult Fellowships), Re>Store Groups, Special Needs and Host Serving Groups
• Go: International Outreach, Global Initiatives, Local Initiatives, Go Groups, Compassion and Training
Mike is going to share the details of the vision at Vision Night on Monday, September 22 at 7:00–8:30 pm in the Worship Center. The Elders of our church have unanimously come together on the vision; on September 22, we can all hear about it publicly. This event will be streamed live online for those who are not able to attend in the Worship Center. Childcare (birth–Kindergarten) will be available.
Leading up to our Vision Night, we will have Seek Week from September 15–22. This is an opportunity to pray, read Scripture, fast and consider what God is doing in our church.
• Morning prayer times each weekday at the church in the Chapel from 7:00–7:45 am
• Corporate prayer services on September 15, 17, and 19 in the Worship Center. (Monday and Friday times are at 7:00 pm and childcare (birth–Kindergarten) will be available. The Wednesday service is at 12:00 pm. All services will last one hour).
• A daily devotional guide. We are offering a daily devotional/prayer guide as a way for you to engage on your own each day. For you subscribers to eNews, we will send out daily emails with this content. There will also be a limited number of paper copies available at the office and at Guest Central on Sunday. The guide will also be available on the website as a PDF.
It will be wonderful to worship, pray and fast together.
