Men at the Cross seeks to provide an intentional pathway for men to grow in Christ and to lead others to Christ. Wednesday, March 23 will be a life-changing, church-changing, city-changing event as men are challenged to live as passionate men of the cross in their home, work-place, and sphere of influence. As ABS leaders, lead the way in encouraging men to jump into the movement. We expect the Valley View men to be in the house. Our theme is BRING ONE. We want our men to not only come, but to BRING ONE! Joe White, Ted Cunningham, and Johnny Musso will be teaching and sharing. Worship will be amazing. ABS leaders are CATALYSTS in getting this news across our church.
Also, on the 23rd:
- Our young men will spend time in the main room, while also having a break-out session with Joe White. He will address what is means to live as a young man of integrity
- Our young women will have a Proverbs 31 event from 6 – 7:15 in the student room
- Our children will have normal kid activities
- Our women will have a worship, prayer, and devotional time in the Gym
MATC – BRING ONE! I want you to give this event a MASSIVE push in your group on Sunday AM.
DISCIPLE LEADER EQUIPPING – Sunday @ 4:45 in WC 146
Stop and Celebrate!
- Over25 folks have joined with our church in the past two weeks
- We baptized 37 new believers in Christ this past Sunday! If that sentence does not evoke even a small ‘woot’ from you, then your ‘wooter’ is totally broken!!!
- We expect to baptize a bunch at our March baptism (it is the 27th of March). If you have folks in your group who need to be baptized, challenge them to dive in and throw a party as a class at the baptism celebration.
Things you need to know…
- SPRING BREAK PREPARATION – March 13 – One Service @ 10 AM and No PM. Our ABS will NOT meet, but Bro Billy will likely tackle Hannah and we will NOT take a break in our study. Press on with personal Yahweh study even though we won’t meet as a group and on the 20th of March, we will be studying “Hearing God’s Voice (Samuel)”
- If you did not catch the above note – March 13 is ONE SERVICE @ 10 AM with NO PM
- Our student ministry will soon release a new name… new focus…. new look… and a never-ending hope that Jesus will use this church to display the resounding glory of Jesus Christ.
- Experiencing God on Wednesday Nights promises to be ripe with opportunity for life-change.
Mission Training Review from Sunday, 2.27
1. Help our ABS discover, develop, deploy a servant heart
a. Assume that our people are generous – with resources, lives, and gifts. Christ is the epitome of generosity and b/c He lives in us, we must assume generosity
b. Re-Define Mission from ‘going’ to ‘being’. Going will happen… Being is never-ending, all-places, all-times
2. Every Member on Mission
a. Increasing number of our folks serving.
b. Mindset of servanthood developing – practically expecting that we live on mission with one another via meals, love, care, etc.
3. Live on Mission
a. Practical application of project implementation
b. Serve while having fun – Monthly mission ministry project
All Believers are one in heart and mind (Acts 4). I am praying that you are living with a high level of hope for UNITY and EXPECTANCY in the heart and life of Valley View. I am so deeply grateful to share this partnership in God’s glorious gospel with you. We get to change the world together. That is so good and so remarkable! Have a fantastic weekend!!
By Grace… For Glory,
Mark
