Calendar of events

Mark your calendars for the following:

We are only 5 weeks out until launch date. I was wondering if you could send me the list of the people on your target list and what is their status. For example, Fred W is on my list, I have invited him to a just them event, that he attended and a worship service he promises to attend. I would like to add them to my prayer list and the prayer lists of others.

It is essential that we invite others to our church. Remember that we are inviting others so that they can find the peace, love, community or comfort that each of you have found.

A few things to note:

If you are on the green team, we are having a planting day this Saturday Oct. 4th at 9:00am. We don't think it should take more than 2 hours. We need you to come out and help Kurt (from Fred. pike) seed and plant.

Saturday afternoon the children's ministry people are painting the Sunday school rooms. If you are available to help even for an hour or two they would be so appreciative. They are starting at 1pm.

We are doing a building day soon. Please keep tuned for updates.

The whirlwind called Texas

Wow, I can't believe that the week is over, our Church Planting Boot camp was just that, boot camp. We listened, learned, prayed and listened some more. We were so fortunate to realize all the things we were doing right, we were on track with timelines, leadership, teams, small groups and ministry area like Children's, hospitality and building stuff.

We also realized that we have not been invitational. We have not thought about our friends and neighbors being our target areas. So in order to be more invitational we are hosting a number of "Just Them" events. Things like, dog days of fall, movie night, shopping @ the outlets, etc.

These are events that we want you to invite your friends and neighbors that will introduce them to our community. We are so excited with this turn of events.

Well, our next Preview service will focus on Seeing God in others. So the God goggles will be out and we will look at our neighbors from a different perspective.

If you would like to join Todd and I selling hot dogs for Northridge Band boosters, let me know.

Blessings, Marie
