A QUICK NOTE FROM PASTOR JOE

My friend,
Starting in October, our whole church is engaging in a spiritual growth initiative we’re calling, “Made for More.” This 42-day journey will focus our church on discovering and thriving in God’s specific purpose for our lives. Enjoy a copy of Rick Warren’s signature, “Purpose Driven Life.” This book is designed as a chapter-a-day 42-day journey toward purpose. As a church, we’ll all begin reading together on Sunday, October 2nd.

Here’s why I’m writing you about this: Engage.

Our whole church is focusing on this journey toward realizing how we’re, “Made for More.”

NewKidz is teaching about purpose... Our weekend messages will center around purpose... The book you receive will have a road-map of Scripture verses to memorize, and “next steps” to help you engage.... Even our topic/curriculum- driven Small Groups are going to have discussion around purpose in every meeting!

This “spiritual growth campaign” is an opportunity for all of us to realize and affirm who God made us to be - that we are all truly made for more! Kiah and I love you & are praying for you!

As you go___________________!
Pastor Joe

You were made for more.

“Made for More” is a 42-day Spiritual Growth Campaign.

During your lifetime you’ll spend 21 years sleeping, 5 years waiting in line and 3 years in meetings.

Why not spend 42 days discovering your life’s purpose?

What does a "Spiritual Growth Campaign" look like?

> On the individual level:
Use your free copy of “Purpose Driven Life” for the 42-days of devotions. Each chapter has a QR code that has a teaching from Rick Warren on the topic covered. Included also are next steps, and Bible verses to memorize.

> On the Small Group Level:
Our normal weekly Groups will have a theme of purpose added to their discussion.

> On the Church Level:

Focused teaching: We’ve centered our teaching on a single spiritual-growth theme. Hear a series of messages all about purpose during the 42-day Spiritual Growth Campaign.
Focused programs: We’ve reinforced the biblical theme of purpose with our weekend teachings, small groups, and personal devotions. We’ll also offer water baptisms every week of the campaign.

Focused congregation: “Made for More” will unify adults, students, and kids.

“Made for More” will engage multiple learning styles: hearing, watching, discussing, writing, and reading.
