Love...Live...Serve

Today was a significant day for our church family. After several months of prayer and preparation, we began to roll out some changes to help us better become a church whose members are rooted deep in God's love, who live and grow together in Christian community, who learn how to reach out and serve those around is in meaningful ways as the Body of Christ.

One change we made was to flip-flop our schedule, worship first at 9:30 and classes after at 11:15, leaving plenty of time in there for informal fellowship. The other major piece we implemented was our Shepherding Groups for adults, which meet during our class time and will also help us form and strengthen relationships, help the elders to better shepherd the flock, and encourage more people to be involved in class. I think all three groups got off to a good start today, and I'm looking forward to seeing how God works through them in the coming months.

Our desire is to implement biblical principles in simple and effective ways. That's what our Shepherding Groups are about, and that's also the energy behind reformatting both our small groups and ministry team structures this fall. Please pray along with us that we'll be discerning in seeking God's will.
