40 Days of Purpose

December 27th we will kick off our 40 Days of Purpose Campaign. This is going to be an awesome way to charge into 2010!

40 Days of Purpose is a plan to have everyone in the church study and learn, in an extremely focused way, the five purposes that every believer needs to balance in their life and relationship with Christ. The five purposes include, we are made by God to worship, mature, belong, serve and reach out. By linking the every Small Group, sermon, youth and kids ministry event each week we will focus heavily on each purpose. It is a fun and exciting journey that can change your life and our church.

The 40 day journey is aided by the reading of the book, The Purpose Driven Life, by Pastor Rick Warren. This book is broken into 40 small chapters that function as daily devotionals for you that will also follow the sermons and Small Group lessons.


Next week we will have hard copies of The Purpose Driven Life and copies of the Small Group Study Guide available. You can sign up this week to reserve a copy. The hard cover books are $10 and the Study Guide is $5. If you would like we will also be photocopying the Small Group material, so you could get a photocopied folder for $3 (we have purchased rights for this. It is a lot of copies, the actual printed guide is much more compact).

If you know a person who is out of church or not saved, this is the time to invite them! Bring the for Christmas and then the next week invite them to be a part of 40 Days. The first two sermons are great messages for the unsaved and the others will take them on a very fast discipleship course. Some churches who have motivated members have testimonies of growing by 20% during the 40 days of the campaign. We will have invitation post cards for you to give to friends in the next few weeks. Don't miss this.
