'40 Days of Community' to come!

by Mark Jappe - September 2, 2005

In our last campaign, the 40 Days of Purpose, we leaned about God's five purposes for our lives. These purposes were designed to answer the question, "What on earth am I here for?" Well get ready to start another awesome campaign!

On September 18th, we begin 40 Days of Community, a 7-week journey that is designed to answer the more specific question, "What are we here for?"

Together, our entire church family (yes, even our children) will expand outwardly on God's five purposes to focus on Jesus' power to change us, our church, and our community. This campaign is a great opportunity to serve our community--to make a life-changing impact! Let's show others in our community our faith in God by what we do.

To receive the full benefit of these 40 life-changing days, you will want to participate in each spiritual emphasis:

1. Hear all seven weekend messages.

2. Read the 40 day devotions from the workbook, "What on Earth Are We Here For?" Based on the "one anothers" of scripture, your workbook also provides daily Bible readings, weekly scripture memory verses, and pages where you can journal as you go.

3. Join a 40 Days of Community small group Bible Study. If you are not already part of a small group, what are you waiting for? Visit The CommUNITY Center in the church foyer to find a host home in your area today.

Will you commit 40 days of your life to participate in this great spiritual journey? Imagine the impact made if we deepened the community within our church and served the community around our church. Get ready for another life change! Please join us.
