Hey everyone.
Well another week ends and another opportunity begins.
Two Things:
1. Saturday is another work day. We may be meeting at the new building but there is tons to still do. There is something for everyone and there is something for the next two saturdays and several weeks. Lets remind ourselves of the gospel and what Jesus has done and our mission to seek and save the lost. All the work we are doing is so that some might come to know him and out of lives changed a church will grow and impact Joplin for years to come. Its a great time to grow as community, in discipleship and ownership. My encouragement is that it is a great time to love, live and enjoy.
Please join us Saturday beginning at 9am. The more people participate the more gets done and the less there is to do later.
2. Sunday service. One word - Momentum. We had our largest gathering this past Sunday ever. There were new faces and familiar friends. Lets not waste this opportunity to share the excitement of what Jesus is doing with our friends, family and strangers. Connect with someone this week and invite them to come share in the excitement and even commit for a time to join our community. This is a great gift from Jesus that we can use to bring others to hear and share the love of Christ. It's bot simply Sundays either. Community groups begin next week. In our efforts to reach the lost we want to bring them into community completely. Invite to a service but also into the homes we gather in during the week and into our lives and families all week and everyday. We want others to experience relationships not just events. We want them to hear the gospel but also process and investigate it during the week with others. So gathering disciples is an invitation to walk with someone not just once but for a time among others on the same journey in the same context.
See you this weekend.
