Join Pastor Eric and Ian McConnell (SGC Director of Church Planting) for a lunchtime discussion regarding the priority of mercy ministries and social justice in the life of the local church.
We'll provide the lunch. You bring your questions. Maximum 2 persons per household. Space is limited.
Jim and Angie shared last Sunday about our recent Crisis Pregnancy Counseling Course. It was just one more reminder of how our city is hurting and we have been called to help.
One way you can participate in our effort to serve our city is by contributing to our Expecting Mothers Gift Bags. We'll be collecting the following items this Sunday to wrap and deliver to Living Well Pregnancy Center:
Onesies
Receiving blankets
Pacifiers
Baby Books
Baby Soap
Small toys
Drop these items in the boxes this Sunday in the lobby and if you are interested in joining the ladies in assembling the gift bags on March 5th, email Angie for the details.
Ps. Don't forget to register for our Mercy Ministry Luncheon this Sunday too!
This month at Theology on Tap the men are debating the relationship between our justification and our salvation, with a particular emphasis on the teachings called the New Perspective on Paul.
Although the group is currently on a waiting-list only, you can still follow along on Facebook and do the homework. Here's a great 5-minute audio primer on the issue.
Our small group ministry isn't just one option among many ministries of the church, this is THE ministry.
Our life together is organized into two primary contexts. Our big meetings are our Sunday services. Our small meetings are our small groups. This is where we get to pursue one another and grow in our understanding of the gospel and how it applies to our lives. Without small groups, we wouldn't be able to love one another because we wouldn't know one another.
They are meeting this Friday and they covet your prayers for God to use them and equip them to facilitate our small meetings.
We are offering every adult member of our church a FREE ACCOUNT with Covenant Eyes. We will pay the bill if you will use the service.
Covenant Eyes is an internet accountability service. It monitors your usage and sends reports to someone you trust. It makes it easy to invite your friends and family into your digital world.
Why are we doing this? Because we want to pursue purity within our church. Not everyone needs a service like this and Covenant Eyes is definitely not the end-all solution to every internet problem. You may not even be experiencing any problems. That's fine. Don't sign up. Praise God!
However, many people find the anonymous nature of the internet a source of temptation. They struggle with laziness, unhelpful speech, coveting the lives of others, and lust. The list goes on. Covenant Eyes is one small way you can invite others into your life online.
Why are we doing this? Because we are committed to equipping you to live your digital life for the glory of God. Don't be a lone-ranger when it comes to the online world. Buddy up and live your life in community.
We are currently training 8 people to counsel and comfort those in our city who are struggling with a crisis pregnancy. Pray for them. Lives could depend on it.
This week at Theology on Tap the men are debating the nature of the millennium from Revelation 20. Although the group is currently on a waiting-list only, you can still follow along on Facebook and do the homework.
If you watch closely, you'll see Nate Stiff from Redeeming Grace Church in Palm Desert. He led worship at our Sunday service a few weeks ago. Jonathan Baird from our sister church in Pasadena is also there.
