Community and Mission Team First Meeting

Mark your calendars!

On Sunday, November 10, from 6:30-8:30 PM, in the church sanctuary there will be a first meeting of the Community and Mission Team. Anyone with an interest in, or curious about, outreach to our local community and beyond is invited to attend. We will be exploring the topic, What Is the Missional Church?

Among the issues explored will be "The Missional Paradigm," "Eras of the Church," "The Times They Are a-Changin'," "Becoming Missional," and "Next Steps." Lots of interesting insights for all.

Along with the program will be a variety of potential projects from which we may choose how to move forward, including material from a guest speaker.

For more information, please contact Jeff Snyder.

See you Sunday, November 10th!

Isaiah 58:5-12

Will you call this a fast, a day acceptable to the Lord? ⁶Is not this the fast that I choose: to loose the bonds of injustice, to undo the thongs of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke? ⁷Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, and bring the homeless poor into your house; when you see the naked, to cover them, and not to hide yourself from your own kin?
⁸Then your light shall break forth like the dawn, and your healing shall spring up quickly; your vindicator shall go before you, the glory of theLord shall be your rear guard. ⁹Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer; you shall cry for help, and he will say, Here I am. If you remove the yoke from among you, the pointing of the finger, the speaking of evil, ¹⁰if you offer your food to the hungry and satisfy the needs of the afflicted, then your light shall rise in the darkness and your gloom be like the noonday. ¹¹The Lord will guide you continually, and satisfy your needs in parched places, and make your bones strong; and you shall be like a watered garden, like a spring of water, whose waters never fail.¹²Your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; you shall be called the repairer of the breach, the restorer of streets to live in.

Will you be the restorer of streets to live in?
