So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for
I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my
righteous right hand.
Isaiah 41:10
“Grow & Go” Vision Update
Any congregation needs to have a set
of “anchors” based on core values through which all ministries are analyzed and
established. Our Grow & Go
vision has three such anchors:
1)
offering compelling worship
2)
growing healthy adults
3)
intentionally serving others in Jesus’ name
The additions and expansions to the
2014-2015 budget will reflect these anchors. As we continue to strive for maximum Kingdom impact. Will must continually ask the
question, “What is the best way to …?”
Upcoming Series
A
new year often brings new opportunities to help friends and family members on a
spiritual journey. One of the best
things you can do is invite them to attend a worship service with you. The next sermon series is designed to
help believers experience a different quality of life and help others find new
life in Christ. I’m challenging you to bring at least
one friend to the following series:
Three Fingers Point Back series – March 9
"It's not my fault, my parents
didn't have a lot of rules." "I think it is a dumb law anyway."
"It’s not that bad, everyone does that!" Personal
responsibilities. We all have them. But we don't to claim them. Let's
remember when we point the finger of blame at someone else, three point back.
It's time to stop the excuse-making.
Praise Report
One of the goals for the
Grow & Go vision at St. Mark is that by June 2016 we would have had 50
different people on a mission trip.
We currently have 28 people signed up for our Buffalo, NY mission trip,
3 partners who are planning on going to Haiti and one who just returned from
Africa. That’s awesome! Thank for your prayers, support and
involvement.
Another goal for Grow
& Go vision was to have 500 people involved in community service in Jesus’
name. As of January 2014, 286
people have been involved in community service. Should have set higher goals!
See you this weekend as
we continue ACTS: Be Part of the Movement series.
See you this weekend!
John
