Great Questions for This Sunday!
 
Are you up to answer some great questions? These are the questions we've been asking as a church family:
  • When Jesus invites by saying, "Come follow me," can I say "I'm All In"?
  • What would be a step of faith for me, moving me beyond my fears?
  • Where have I plateaued and what would be a step up in generosity?
  • What would be a financial decision that represents "all in" for giving over the next two years?

Leaders, I want to remind you of an opportunity to lead out in a way that can have an impact on new, young Christians in our church. This Sunday at 6:00 pm, we have our Advance Commitment Event for all key volunteers, leaders, and ministry staff. We will meet in the front of the worship center for an inspiring time of personal stories, worship, and bringing our I'm All In decision cards. We will have great dessert fellowship too. I can't stress enough the value it will be for you as leaders and key volunteers to be there.

For our whole church family, this Sunday is a super-important day of worship and the message is, "You Bet Your Life." We will receive one more item that will help us process what an "I'm All In" commitment will look like for each of us. To realize our vision to reach, win, and grow it will take 100% participation if we are going to celebrate a victory on our Decision Sunday, October 19. Keep wearing that "I'm All In" necklace as a reminder to pray for our church and your own step of faith, and for me to preach God's message clearly.

I'm All In!
