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!

2 POST-EASTER DISCUSSION GIFT HOURS MAY 4 & 18: We will meet after worship at 11:15 in the Pierce Room.
The book of Romans is the most deeply theological book in the New Testament. It can be difficult to understand. This book launched the Reformation in the early 16th century when Martin Luther’s search for peace with God resulted in a personal epiphany. A key verse for Luther’s light-bulb-moment was:
Romans 1:17a
For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last,
A presentation by the Rev. Kent Organ on Romans inspired Dennis Rich to study this book more deeply. This led him to focus on Chapters 5, 6, and 7. We will discuss key verses from these chapters. Our hope is that all attendees will be blessed and that each of us come away with deeper insights into our Christian faith.
Please consider attending!

Jesus entered Jerusalem to a lot of fanfare. People wondered who he was and what he was about. Only kings entered Jerusalem the way Jesus did. Was Jesus a king? Would he liberate the world? The hype said yes. So, do you believe the hype?
