Happy Hump Day Reader, I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude. Your unwavering love, prayers, and presence, both online and in person, are the pillars that keep this community thriving. We witness your consistent attendance, generous contributions, and thoughtful check-ins on one another, and it fills our hearts with immense joy. You are not merely a part of our church; you are the very essence of it. And because of you, we are all better individuals. Let’s dive into what’s happening at Mars Hill this week! ✅ An Important AnnouncementThis week, I’m taking a break from our scheduled format to share an important announcement regarding our vision for acquiring our own space. I’ll outline how we plan to move forward and the practical steps we can take together to make this vision a reality. Please make it a priority to join us—you won’t want to miss this! ✅ Moving Forward Together: Uniting for a Greater PurposeWe’re calling this next chapter “Moving Forward Together”—a six-month journey to strengthen our church, grow our ministries, and reach more people. To kick off this vision, I’m launching a new sermon series called “Moving Forward Together: Uniting for a Greater Purpose.” In this four-week series, we’ll explore how God calls us to build, believe, grow, and serve together as a community. Whether you’ve felt stuck or uncertain or need a fresh perspective, this series will encourage and challenge you. Series at a Glance: 1. Together We Build: Laying the foundation for what’s next. 2. Together We Believe: Faith that moves us forward. 3. Together We Grow: From setback to comeback. 4. Together We Serve: United by purpose, driven by love. When we move forward together, we create something far greater than any of us could accomplish alone. Our Next Step: Moving Forward Together Giving CampaignAs part of this vision, we’re launching the Moving Forward Together giving initiative. We aim to raise $20,000 by Summer through a special giving effort. We’re asking for: • 30 people to give $500 • 50 people to give $300 These funds will go directly towards enhancing our Sunday worship space, launching youth and children’s ministries, and creating consistent midweek engagement opportunities.
Relaunching Ministries on the HorizonHere’s what we’re launching: • Kids’ Kingdom: A place for kids to learn and grow in faith every 2nd and 4th Sunday. • Youth Events: Monthly gatherings for students to connect, discuss life, and grow spiritually. • Diggin Deeper: A midweek experience for deeper faith exploration online and in person. How You Can Help• Give: Support the Moving Forward Together initiative by giving online today. Just select “Moving Forward Together” from the giving options. • Serve: We’re looking for 12–15 volunteers to help us launch these ministries. Whether you can greet, teach, or support tech, there’s a place for you. Moving Forward Together Campaign We Can Do This—TogetherThis isn’t just about a space—it’s about building a ministry that makes an impact. I believe that together, we can lay a foundation that will bless our community for years to come.
