Missio Dei Church
Weekly Update for the Week of March 7



Leadership Community

RSVP HERE.
Advent Conspiracy Logo

It is important for us as a church to know God's vision for us and to be reminded and encouraged by it regularly. It is said that a vision starts dying after a couple of months if the leaders rarely or never hear about it. This usually leads to feelings of being disconnected, unappreciated, and burned out. So we have made it our commitment to meet once a month to celebrate what God is doing through us, to continue to cast his vision, and to encourage the leaders in his mission. Leadership Community, then, is really like a big party or pep rally where we share vision and appreciate our leaders.

Leadership Community is a monthly gathering of all MDC staff, Missional Community leaders, apprentices, Kids Crossing leaders and teachers... anyone who contributes somehow to God's work in the church. It will be occurring on  March 20 from 9:00 - 11:00 AM at Peace Community Church in Frankfort.  Childcare is available; RSVP here and include your childcare requirements.

Equipped (Prayer Ministry)
SATURDAY, APRIL 10

RSVP HERE

Arthur Wallis once said, "A move of God will last as long as the Spirit of prayer that inspired it." As a whole, we desire to see Missio Dei Church have a strong DNA of prayer that runs through each and every individual and ministry.

We have invited Diane Aardema, the Prayer Leader for the Synod of Mid-America, to lead us in an equipping prayer event on Saturday, April 10 from 9:00 - noon in the Ministry Center. No matter where you are in your prayer life, Diane will walk with us by giving us practices that will help us all develop, nurture and employ a life of prayer.
