Weekly Update September 21

Hello ,

As we journey deeper into the fall season, we're excited to see our community flourishing. Our connect groups are back in action, providing a wonderful opportunity to explore new horizons in our faith walk. Remember, we're not just a congregation; we're a unique community connected daily by our shared commitment to God's kingdom. You can explore all our fall connect groups and their details on our website.

Here's a quick overview of what's happening this week:

• Friday Night Games Group: Join us on September 22nd at 7:00 p.m. for a night of fun and community.

• Kingdom Wholeness Course: Dive into spiritual growth every Sunday at 7:00 p.m.

• Connect through Knitting & Crocheting Group: Unwind and connect on Mondays at 7:00 p.m.

• Prayer & Worship: Join us in seeking God's presence every Thursday at 9:00 a.m.

• Elev8 Youth: Our youth meet on Thursdays at 7:00 p.m. to grow in faith.

As Tracy, Colby & Heather are attending various conferences, let's keep them in our prayers. Beth Alves suggests a guide for daily prayer for spiritual leaders:

• Sunday: Favor with God (spiritual revelation, anointing, holiness)

• Monday: Favor with others (congregations, ministry, staff, unsaved)

• Tuesday: Increased vision (wisdom & enlightenment, motives, guidance)

• Wednesday: Spirit, Soul, Body (health, appearance, attitudes, spiritual & physical wholeness)

• Thursday: Protection (temptation, deception, enemies)

• Friday: Finances (priorities, blessings)

• Saturday: Family (general, spouse, children)

Together, let's uplift Pastors Tracy, Colby, Freddy, and Heather in prayer.

Josh Hoffert is currently in India, dedicating himself to empowering local pastors and fostering thriving ministries. India is experiencing remarkable spiritual growth, and Josh plays a pivotal role in shaping these narratives. Throughout September, 10% of all donations go toward supporting Josh's mission, working alongside Benito and New Life Fellowship Church in India. Your contribution is more than financial; it's a catalyst for transformative impact. Together, we're actively advancing the Kingdom of God in India, leaving an indelible mark on countless lives. This particular trip has some unique things happening. Please keep Josh, the work in India and his family here (Erin & the kids) in your prayers. Thank you for being part of this extraordinary journey.
