Event Details

GIFT – Growing in Faith Together – means Goin’ Fishin’!
Our GIFT time following worship in Lent will focus on the imperative of invitational evangelism – on inviting others to the good news of God’s love in Jesus Christ that we have experienced.  As Jesus called his first disciples with an invitation they couldn’t refuse, so He calls us:
            Follow me, and I will teach you to fish for people!
Our pastor Chuck Mize is excited to lead the first three sessions in this series, on March 9, 16, and 23.  As they say, The Christian faith is more caught than taught.  Here is the series:

Goin’ Fishin’ – Fishing for People
The Imperative of Invitational Evangelism Today
Scripture texts:  Mark 1:16-20; Matthew 28:16-20

March 9: You’ve got to know your lake:  it’s not our grandparents’ church anymore.
Our changing culture and the place of the church in society.
Christendom has ended.  Why that’s a good thing.
What are the things that don’t change?

March 16: Don’t forget your tackle and bait.
Relevance, relevance, relevance!
Hell doesn’t work anymore.
Never judging or condemning.  Always inviting!

March 23: You’ve got to love to fish.
For us, the fish are people.  If you don’t love them, they’ll never be caught.
Forget glittering generalities.  Make it personal.
Have a plan and work it.  Never give up!

March 30: Kathy & Bob Erickson will be presenting their efforts to establish relationships in their community.

April 6: Going Fishing, Reflect Light
Pastor Adam Hamilton offers practical thoughts on how we can share our faith by building relationships in non-threatening ways. People without a church do not want doctrine, they want to see people who care about them and who make the world a better place. What would you like people to say about our church? Come and brainstorm ideas based upon what Adam shares with us.

Let’s discover the joy of going fishing for people together!

Event Details

Please join us March 2^nd at 11:15 AM in the Pierce Room. Mount of Olives: The Triumphal Entry

As we prepare for Lent which begins with Ash Wednesday March 5^th, we will continue the series we started during Advent, 2024. We’ll again join Kathie Lee Gifford invites us to join her as she visits sites in Israel that have impacted her life. As she shares her story, Rabbi Jason Sobel, a messianic Jewish rabbi who was trained in the ancient rabbinical way, provides fascinating background into the language, culture and heritage making the New Testament come alive. Many people expressed how much they had learned from the first 4 lessons we shared in Advent.

This will be lesson 5 from the video series which takes us to Jesus’ Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem the week before he was crucified and then resurrected on Easter Sunday. We’ll Kathie share about her journey through the spiritual foundations of her faith. We’ll learn more about the Rock (Jesus Christ), explore the Road (Israel), and dig deeper into the Bible with the Rabbi (God’s Word). After watching the video, we will have small group discussion about what new thoughts came to mind as we watched.

Something profound happens when we follow along the ancient path in the actual places where Jesus was born, where He taught, healed, lived, died and where He was resurrected into heaven.
