Our next church-wide study, Life on Mission starts on Sunday, April 7! 

This study is based off of a book written by pastor and author, Tim Harlow. And, I’m excited to announce that he will be here live and in-person to help kick-off this series with us (8:00AM, 9:15AM and 10:45AM service)! Our theme as a church for 2024 is “Let’s go,” and this study will be our “playbook” for how to do just that. It is our hope that every single person of our church will join us for these six weeks. LET’S GO! Let’s study together!

There are several options to join in… Grab a few friends and start a group of your own. Or sign-up to join a new group on Thursday evenings, after church service. (Our existing groups are welcome to study at their normal day and time). https://www.1c.church/lifeonmission

Note from Tim Harlow:

“Your mission, should you choose to accept it…”

Our backyard is now the largest and most diverse mission field in the world. It’s almost as if God said, “Well, if My people are going to slack off from going to the world, I’m going to bring the world to them!”

I can almost bet your neighborhood is multi-cultural. The people on your street may speak different languages and live different lives than you do, but they are exactly the people Jesus had in mind when He said, “Go and make disciples of all nations” (Matthew 28:19).

Now we know that “all nations” means the world – to the very ends of the earth. But I think we’ve forgotten that it also means the house next door, the end of the block, and around the corner.

It’s time to refocus our lives and redefine what it means to live a life on mission. We haven’t been given a new mission.

We’ve been given a chance to re-engage with the longing of God’s heart – to transform lives by bringing heaven to earth today, and earth to heaven for eternity.

Take this opportunity to meet with other Christians and to encourage one another to lovingly reach out, in word and in deed, to the people around you.

Ask God to help you discover what He has planned for you: a Life on Mission.

Glad we’re doing this together!
