Dear Faith Family,

As I make visits to senior adults, many have asked “What’s Next?  Scripture teaches that God has a purpose for every person.  His purposes for us are lived out over a lifetime, not just when we are young and healthy. 

I have learned that God wants our availability over our lifespan.  God uses those who make themselves available to Him, no matter their age or physical ability.  God is already in our future—calling, waiting, ready to lead us on a new and exciting journey.  God guides us by sharing His plans with us and asking us to join Him in those plans as He opens doors to serve others. 

It is never too late to begin something new.  God empowers us and we are never too young or too old.  If God prompts you, engage what He has put on your heart to do!  Acknowledge it and say yes because it is never too late! 

Each person has a calling.  It might be to lead children or to lead a new Bible Study class.  It might be to be a part of our care team, reaching out to those that are lonely, in the hospital or nursing home.  We are all called to pray for the needs of our faith family, for those serving as missionaries around the world, and for those who do not know the saving grace of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! 

“Keep our eyes on Jesus, who leads us and makes our faith complete”. Hebrews 12:2a. 

My prayer is that we will all follow God’s prompting, no matter our age or ability, and we will be amazed at what God does through us. 

See you Sunday!

RE:GROUP
Sunday, September 11 @ 5:30 PM

We truly believe that life is better together! One of the ways we encourage deep community in the life of our faith family is through Life Groups!  These groups meet on a weekly basis for the purpose of fellowship, intentional time in God's Word, and praying together.  Our life groups are designed to be representative of the entire body of Christ, including men and women of all ages, married and single, and families with and without children in the home. Groups will meet in all kinds of places and will likely be all different sizes, although they will typically range from 3-20 people.

RE:GROUP is a simple way to learn more about the small group ministry of our church.  All our host homes and group leaders are coming together to share more about their groups and how to get involved.  Whether you are currently in a Life Group, looking for a new group, or just interested in learning more, we invite you to join us!
