march 12th

Hi there, thanks for stopping by!

The last few weeks have been a whirlwind as we are preparing to take another big step as a church. 

Beginning this Sunday, C3 will hold 2 "practice" services in a public venue. This week's will be a "working Sunday." Here's what I mean: We will worship together as usual. Afterwards, the kids will go to have their regular teaching/communion time. The adults will share communion, and then I'll have a short devotional. Afterwards, we'll take a look at our new space, talk about the other ministry areas that we need to put in place, and pray over each area. 

I suppose it could be described as part worship service, part ministry fair (if that imagery helps).

We are really excited about this step, because we will soon be able to have an "official" grand opening! With that in mind, here are some things to pray about this week:
  • Meeting in a public location will necessitate us being much more "portable" than we have been so far. Please pray for this transition, and for wisdom as we purchase new equipment to help facilitate this change and learn how best to pack and transport everything. 
  • Please pray for the core group as we adjust to a new way of "doing church." This larger location will give us opportunities to begin new ministries, and more people places to serve. Please pray that everyone finds their "fit."
  • Please pray for people in our area who do not yet know the incredible love of Christ, or have a church home.  Pray that as we move ahead in the next few weeks, C3 will have opportunities to connect with these folks, begin to build lasting relationships, and share the grace and Truth of the gospel.
  • Finally, please pray for each leader at C3; that we will make godly decisions, that our lives will be pure before God, and that as we continue to grow as His disciples, we are able to encourage others to come with us.
Thank you so much for choosing to be a Convergence prayer partner! If we can pray for you in any way, please let us know- either here in the comments, or via email at: jeffh@loveliveserve.org .  

In Him We Live,

Jeff

Jeff,

Would you please add my friend Jason's church (Breakthrough) in Juneau, Alaska to the prayer list? They are re-launching on Easter Sunday.
