KEEP MOVING FORWARD

Every week we have another opportunity to keep pressing forward in spite of anything that comes our way! This is our word and we must keep believing it!

If you have ever ran in a race, you know that starting is the easy part, the challenge is to keep going! The battle is to keep running even when your legs are hurting, your lungs are tired and your mind is telling you "STOP!!!!!!!!!" But the person who finishes the race is the one who ignored the pain, pushed through the fatigue, and silenced their quitting thoughts. That is what champions are made of, a mind over matter will to win!

We charge you, don't look back, keeping moving, keep praying, keep believing! When life tries to compell you to stop, refuse to give in! When circumstances try to tell you "It's not going to happen," press past the doubt and grab a hold of God's promises! We can go FORWARD and we will!  God is faithful to us and we will be a faithful people to Him! If He said it, we believe it and that settles it! 

Don't miss this weekend as we continue our FORWARD series! And remember, it's not only about us, invite someone with you!

NEWS AND EVENTS

 

HALLOWEEN BASH!!

We are 3 weeks away from our BIG HALLOWEEN BASH!! We are so excited to be able to provide a safe place for you, your families, your guests and our community to come and have a blast on Halloween night! This is such a great opportunity to invite people to church! Although it is not a service, it is still on our campus and it will be facilitated by our awesome volunteer teams!! People will feel the love of God and want to come back!

So we need your help! In order to make this night a blast we would love for you to get involved! Consider one or more of these ways to be a part of this event and outreach!

1. Donate Candy: Bring candy to any weekend or wednesday night service and drop it off at the Halloween Bash table. We will be giving free candy to all of the kids as they walk through our candy lane, so we will need LOTS AND LOTS of candy :)

2. Volunteer at the Bash: We will need plenty of help to facilitate all of the different activities that night.   The Bash will be broken up into shifts. This will allow you to enjoy the event with your family and friends and still be a part of helping as well! Sign up this weekend at the Halloween Bash table.

3. Host a themed DOOR on Candy Lane. Similar to "trunk or treat" we will have a walk through spot where kids will go door to door and get candy! Each spot on candy lane will have it's own door and area that you can decorate in the theme of your choice! This is one of the highlights of the event! This is a great opportunity to gather some people you know(maybe your team members, or word works table,or friends) and get creative together! If you are interested in hosting a DOOR please sign up at the Halloween Bash table this weekend!

MORNING PRAYER

We want to invite you to join us Tuesday through Friday from 8:30am to 9:30am at our Morning Prayer. The staff, G4:2 students and anyone else who wants to come, gather together for a time of prayer and seeking God every week. If you have this time available in your schedule we encourage you to come and be a part of what God is doing in these times of prayer. It will change your life, and start your day off right! In this garden season we are pressing forward in prayer! We hope to see you!
