I can’t wait until Sunday. We’re going to be talking about vision. Why are we (element) here? Why am I here? What do I do? We are going to be taking a journey through Acts 13-15 looking at Paul’s first missionary journey with Barnabas where they basically spent 1 1/2 years planting churches throughout the region. There are some great principles on vision in those 3 chapters. We’ve multiplied our Life Groups from one to three. That is very exciting. Last night a group of “younger” adults met. One of the new couples who came to Unplugged on Sunday came to Life Group last night. Tonight Grant and Terri are hosting their Life Group and another new couple is planning on being there. This Sunday night we are holding our Life Group at a new home. We’re expecting some more new faces at Unplugged this weekend as we talk about vision.
Our Vision: That God would so impact the Cheyenne area through Element Church that if it were gone the community would miss it.
I want to be a church, the vision I feel God has for our church, is that we’d love people so much; serve people so well; minister so creatively, relevantly, practically and effectively that if our church was gone the community would miss it. I don’t ever want to stop serving. I don’t ever want to stop stretching. I don’t ever want to stop being a place where LIFE exists. Element Church will always be looking for the next thing to do for Cheyenne. ALWAYS! We will always be asking how our services can be better. ALWAYS! We will always serve whether anyone attends our church because of it. ALWAYS! AND we will always passionately pursue a God who has vision.
I truly believe that God has ordained the local church to be the hope of the world, so we will always ask how we are being that hope. ALWAYS!
Did I mention I can’t wait until Sunday. And I hope I will ALWAYS feel that way!
Following Christ,
Jeff
