Discipleship Groups Begin!

Hey Christ Church,

I was so richly blessed seeing a few pictures and hearing a few testimonies for our first discipleship group gathering on Tuesday evening. What a precious gift these living room moments are going to be for our body! I strongly believe God’s going to use YOU as the church to do exactly what we have been hearing from Ephesians, to lovingly build this body up in love and to serve each other’s progress in Christ, who is our head and our treasure. What an incredible calling to participate in salvation together!

Nothing Sweeter

It’s hard to describe how excited I am about this upcoming Sunday and the launch of Christ Church Kids! It brought tears to my eyes as I remembered Paul’s eagerness to serve the Philippians’ progress and joy in the faith, because I have seen that same heart at work in you as you serve our children. Few things are sweeter than that.

For now, we plan to have the younger class (8 months- 2 yr) each week and the older class (3-7 yr) every 1st & 3rd Sunday. If you have children participating, please come a little earlier to get a security tag before the service. And please join in praying for God to pour out His grace through this ministry, asking that all they hear would take deep root in their little hearts and minds and would bear lasting fruit in the years to come.

Countless Blessings!

Hey Church Family,

As Thanksgiving approaches, it’s a wonderful opportunity to remember the countless things we have to thank God for, the greatest of which is the gift of His only Son so that we could be saved from our sins. We don’t ever want that to become common place to us.

And, in God’s providence, it just so happens that the next two Sundays are going to be on that glorious reality from Philippians 2:5-11. If you think of it, please pray for those messages. I feel inadequate to even begin to scratch the surface of this “Treasure”. Words fail. But I know He is eager to honor Christ and to richly bless us as His people. And because of that, let’s ask and come anticipating an encounter with Him!

I can’t wait til Sunday,
Bart

Asking God’s Spirit to Meet Us

I want to tell you how thankful I am for the clear grace of God on display each week. Eyes to see, ears to hear, and hearts to apply God’s Word are a divine gift. And that’s what is happening in our gatherings every Sunday. God is moving!!!

Towards that end, we have begun getting together in the library every Sunday prior to the meeting from 9:45-10 to pray over all aspects of the services, asking God’s Spirit to meet us as only He can. Anyone is welcome to join in that, we would love to have you! And even if you can’t make it then, let me encourage us all to use at least part of the drive in each week to pray along those lines. He is eager to bless us as we gather. So, let’s be asking!

If for some reason you miss a worship service, just know we’ll miss you, but Ron does a great job of getting the service uploaded quickly so you can stay connected. And in all things, as you’re doing so excellently, let’s press on in serving each another well!

I love this church body!
