A Note From Kyle
How are you “Celebrating Different”? It was so fun to see you guys swarm the patio this weekend taking full advantage of the opportunity to love, serve, and give differently this season. I’ve heard many stories this week of how our church is intentionally loving our neighbors this season: hosting cookie-decorating parties, dropping off anonymous gifts and encouraging notes, kids helping others in school with tutoring and sports. I can’t wait to see and hear how God spiritually energizes these meaningful gestures and conversations into invitations to be transformed by His power. This season gives us so many opportunities to be in the world; for the world. Let’s continue to be fearless in loving and serving our neighbors.
This weekend we continue in our Outsiders Guide to Jesus series and I’m anticipating a great celebration as we are going provide the opportunity to say yes to Jesus! It’s the opportunity to say “I Believe” that He is who He says He is, and I’m trusting my life to Him. For some of you, perhaps you’ve been wrestling with that question and you’re ready to make that declaration. For others, you know someone who has been wrestling with his/her relationship with God, and following Jesus is the next step in that journey. Either way, be praying for this weekend and love your family, friends, and neighbors by inviting them to join us.
Peace…
Kyle

A Note From Kyle
Last weekend was powerful, wasn’t it? I love how we reflected on God’s heart for us as a loving Heavenly Father, and the idea that He never leaves or abandons us, or diminishes the call He’s given us to demonstrate that love to the world. It’s powerful to see how gratitude, generosity, and humility are unlocking the Kingdom of God in our lives, helping us to become who He’s created us to be and transforming the world through the power of His love.
Have you ever wondered about the meaning of life? What about those in your life – have they ever questioned why they are here or how to live life to the fullest? You’re not going to want to miss this weekend as we tackle that question together, launching our church into this next season, passionately focused on who we’re called to be.
Looking forward to seeing you and meeting your friends and family.
Peace…
Kyle
