What a fantastic opportunity is coming this weekend. Nine months ago the Missions Council began praying how this year’s World Outreach Week could be different. There were plenty of ideas that were brought forth in the next couple of months, but early in December an idea was created to go into our local areas and be the church. This coincided with our effort to turn our church more SIMPLE.

Everyone on the committee began to dream about what this may look like and this weekend we are venturing out in faith to do the work that God has given us. Every member of the Missions Council is excited to be doing these projects in the community, but more excited about meeting the people who these projects will benefit. Often times we talk about our “relationship” with God. We say things like, “It is about having a relationship.” We are going into the community to grow those relationships this week. Everyone is invited to attend and there will be something for everyone to do.

We will be meeting this Saturday morning at 8am for a continental breakfast followed by a time of worship. Worship is an important part of this weekend. Without our worship we are just another group doing a good deed. With worship as our priority we become a mighty force to be contended with in our community. Sunday will begin the same way. Breakfast and worship beginning at 8am then off to the work projects. Sunday evening we will celebrate that which God has done through us during the weekend. I am so excited to hear from many of you the challenges and victories that will come from these two days. What miracles will be worked before our eyes? What God-sightings will you have as we work alongside one another? I ask you to pray feverishly for the next day in preparation for the opportunity to Make A Difference in someone’s life. It will surely Make A Difference in ours.

One the Journey together,
Kirk
