Harvest Carnival is tomorrow night! As I walk across the campus, I’m so excited to see the preparation and the hard work as we completely transform our campus into a place that displays what we’ve been talking about this month in Love Where You Live. We have such a great opportunity to put the gospel and our relationship with God and one another on display in a really fun environment for our family, friends and neighbors. Invite them to come, if you haven’t already. They’ll want to be a part of all the fun we get to have as a community tomorrow night.

Then, invite them to come back this weekend and experience the truth of a relationship with Jesus. We’ll explore what that looks like as God reminds us about who He is and who He’s called us to be and gives us a more complete picture of Him and how to love one another.

I can’t wait to see you guys tomorrow night and this weekend as we continue through this series together. Be sure to check out the opportunities below for ways to walk through life together, loving and serving those around us.

Peace,
Kyle

What would happen if we got serious about loving the people in our communities – wherever that might be? What would happen if we broke through all the barriers that keep our communities as merely a collection of polite strangers? What would it look like if we stopped dreaming about our next move and…

…truly loved where we lived?

#LWYL

I loved last weekend as we came together and launched our new weekend series, Love Where You Live. It was amazing being together Saturday night after the service at our Pumpkin Patch, welcoming our neighbors as they were able to experience the gospel on display through our relationships and joy.

It’s been so fun to see all of the pictures with the #LWYL “pins” on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter this week. I love to see you and your friends, family, co-workers and classmates out in your communities, loving not only the locations, but the people that God has placed in and around you.

I loved how Kenton launched us into this series, remembering that we are each uniquely placed with a purpose and given His power and strength to love the people around us. I believe that God is going to unleash love and kindness through us in a profound way this month as we lean into this series together. I’m praying for you, believing that God is going to speak to you and give you unique opportunities to Love Where You Live.

Check out some of the great opportunities below to be in relationship and live out the gospel together, and join us again this weekend. Invite your family and friends as we gather once again and spend time celebrating who God is, reflecting on His truth, becoming more like the people and the church He has called us to be. I can’t wait to see you guys this weekend.

Peace,

Kyle
