MINISTRY OPPORTUNITY – LABOR DAY EVENING OUTREACH – Do you have a heart for Missions? Maybe you’ve been unable to go on one of our overseas, or NYC mission trips? On Monday, September 1, at 6:00PM, there is a Missions opportunity at the Mather Park (Mather, PA), just 12 minutes from our church! The worship band, “Intent” will be there proclaiming the name of Jesus, and we expect families in the community to be drawn to the park that evening. Our hope is to use this opportunity to reach out to the teens and young adults of Mather. If there is someone you know, whether it be a family member, a friend, neighbor, or other, to whom Jesus might speak through this event, please invite them to this free summer concert in the park.
Ministry needs: Intercessory prayer before, during, and after the event. Prayer teams to be available at the event. Greeters to share the love of Jesus with those who come. Parking lot attendants, and a few servants on hand for security purposes.
If you feel a tug in your spirit as you read this, the Lord wants to use you on that evening. There just might be someone there who needs to hear your story, of how your Saviour, Jesus Christ, set you free!
A sign up sheet is located in the back of the sanctuary. Please see Nancy Harwell with any questions.
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.” (Luke 4:18)
