This Week @ MissionWay
 
Big Change
 
MissionWay stands on the brink of unparallelled opportunity. God has opened doors up for us to take our ministry to the "next level". This unique, experiential series will unfold the "change" required for MissionWay to seize these God-sized opportunities. Each Sunday of the series, you will experience firsthand some exciting changes at MissionWay..... transformations of our worship experience, "Kidz" environments, and connecting points for guests. Hear inspiring stories of how God is transforming people at MissionWay and learn about how you can embrace His work in your life.

How Are You Joining the CHANGE?
If you aren't serving on Sundays at MissionWay, you are missing out on a huge opportunity to be involved in changing lives. Check out these opportunities:
  • Environments: Setting up and tearing down (on Friday evenings and/or Sunday mornings) to create an environment for worship
  • Kidz: Growing our MWay kids to be strong followers of Christ
  • Connections: Greeting and welcoming guests and helping people get connected to our ministries
Where do you fit in? Where can you serve? Think about it and don't miss out! Contact Matt Wilbanks (mattwilbanks@missionwaychurch.org) to serve.

Water Works
We need water for Sunday mornings on an ongoing basis. We are asking our MWay families to bring a case of water each month to help keep up our Sunday supply. You can leave your contribution on the patio with the Connections Team or at the church office during the week. We thank you in advance for your help in meeting this need!
