New Series in June - Kingdom Economy

Money. We all need it, make it, spend it and talk about it in some way. With the economy as it is everyone is talking about money. How to save it and how to spend. Funny thing, Jesus talked about money as much or more than anyone.
This June Mystery will be looking at Money from God's perspective. How does He see money? How does he intend for us to use our money? How do we keep from loving and serving money? These are important and timely questions for all of us. Join us as we look through the gospel lens at our finances beging Sunday Morning June 7th at 10am. 514 S. Main in the heart of downtown.

Causual Christians

"Casual Christianity is faith in moderation. It allows them to feel religious without having to prioritize their faith...Casual Christianity is the best of all worlds; it encourages them to be a better person than if they had been irreligious, yet it is not a faith into which they feel compelled to heavily invest themselves." - Barna

June Reminders and Opportuntities

Hello Mystery. Hope you guys had a great holiday weekend.

Wanted to let you know a few things for the week and get you thinking ahead to June.

Discover Downtown and Artwalk where a HUGE success. The artists and visitors we so thankful for and supportive of Mystery. To everyone who helped and participated THANK YOU VERY MUCH. If you did not get a chance to help we will do it again this month. The Third thursday June 18th is the show and the third Wed June 17th is set up. We will have sign ups for both. Please come support the arts and experience downtown. Its a great gospel time of serving and sharing.

As an added bonus Mystery will have its own space this Month!! Thats right we are asking anyone who is part of Mystery to contribute your work to display this month as part of the Artwalk! This is open to kids and adults. We are looking for photography, painting, sculpture anything you would like to contribute to the cause.

As part of the the Mystery space we would also like to do a silent auction to benefit a local charity. So please consider contributing to this as well by making one of your works available for purchase.

If you would like to be included in this event (and we know we have lots of talented people at Mystery) Please let Pastor Steev or Pastor Nate know ASAP so we can plan out our space.

* Please let any other regular attenders of Mystery who might not be in covenant know about this great opportunity by passing this along and sharing it with the artists you know at Mystery.


Enjoy Jesus and live on mission the week he has given you. You are loved, prayed for and appreciated.

Saving Time

Sometimes we think we are too busy to pray. That is a great mistake, for praying is a saving of time.
