Living into the Vision: A Dinner Event
Pastor David shared with our church family that, “Last year, I met with several hundred church members in home groups, 15 to 20 at a time. During those gatherings, I shared some of the challenges I believed we were facing as a church. And I listened to feedback.” Read more of his remarks from this impactful event regarding the four key opportunities our church is facing this year.
Unity Prayer
Loving God,
We are grateful for this community with such a diversity of gifts and stories that make us who we are.
Keep our focus on the mission to make disciples of all people. Guide our hearts as we worship together, strengthen our relationships, and fortify our devotion to Christ-like service as a church family.
Allow us to embody unity as we move together to participate in God’s kingdom.
Remind us, God, that we are each a needed member of this church family and that we have an individual responsibility to respond to the calling you have placed in our lives.
Let us sense your grace and presence as we face the future together as a vibrant family.
Amen.
