Hey everyone, this is a season filled with potential! I don’t know how to say it any other way. I can’t recall a time in the last few years when I’ve had such a spirit of anticipation and even expectation for what God is going to do in the lives of our faith family. Rethink Leadership was like getting a “coffee red eye” – that’s a shot of espresso. The theme “I Will Follow” was so evident and as we sang I Will Follow to end, I could sense that we were saying, “We’re on board God. Show us, and we’ll go.” If you missed Rethink, you can watch it online and get in on this inspiring day.
So, here’s what’s happening as we ramp up to our 20th anniversary celebration on March 4. We began 28 Days of Fasting that will end as we come together in our evening service on February 26. If you missed Sunday, make sure to go online and catch it. Pastor Mark did a wonderful job of defining and explaining fasting. We all agreed to fast from some food, substance or activity that we know is keeping us from fully engaging with God. While we fast, we are asking God for His direction in the life of our church and our part in it as we begin D3 – our third decade of ministry.
We’re also asking everyone to Read the Bible and Pray the 5/5 Lord’s Prayer challenge each day of 2012. We want to seek God’s presence and hear His voice as we step out together toward a new decade.
On Sunday, we’ll talk about the idea that God made church to be the place where we GATHER TOGETHER. I look forward to being with my church family as we celebrate Communion.
Getting in rhythm with you,
Pastor Ron
