A Note From Kyle Zimmerman

MessageFrom-IR

What an incredible time we had launching into the fall season together! Many of you invited family and friends to join you as the Worship Center was filled with people anticipating the opportunity to connect with Jesus and one another. It was powerful to experience the energy on the patio and lawn as families played together, breaking in the new playground. And what a great reminder Kenton shared from God’s Word – that we never drift into the life we want. Anything worthwhile takes hard work, energy, time and investment, and many of you chose to make this a reality in your life by connecting and serving!

This week, we launched hundreds into Rooted. Next week, thousands will launch into Life Groups together around our series, FAVOR WITH KINGS. It’s not too late to join! We all need real connection and authentic relationships where we can process the big questions of life and get the encouragement we need to become who God created us to be. Life Groups are the tool God gives us to become everything He designed us to be. (Did I mention it’s not too late to join!?:) Click here to sign up now! Also, some of you might be called to lead and facilitate a group. We would love to see you experience the joy of God using you as He moves in people’s lives. Click here to become a group leader.

Prepare to be Amazed this weekend as we launch into our FAVOR WITH KINGS series, looking at the Book of Nehemiah. Nehemiah helps us understand what is possible in the midst of the pain that surrounds us. In a world marked by sadness, questions and suffering, Nehemiah will help us rediscover that a life of hope, joy and purpose is possible.

Invite your family and friends to join you this weekend as we move into this great new season together!

Peace,

Kyle
