NEW YEAR, NEW ROOM, NEW THINGS

bhorn — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 23:20:58 +0000

This week is the first week of our semester together. With that comes some changes! We’ve got a new lead student pastor in Andy Neely. We’ve got a new room in room 401 (inside the student warehouse). We’ve got new LifeStores offerings (a Bible study in room 650 with James Tew and the Gathering with Mark Bedwell and Bill Horn in Theatre 1). So, we’ve got a lot going on!

This Sunday will be our first Sunday in our new room, and LifeStores begins next week, so look for the signs to get to the right place.

Email Bill if you have any questions.

Lighthouse Ministry Event

bhorn — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 18:24:06 +0000

We had a great time ministering with the Lighthouse Ministries Thrift Store in Brandon this past Saturday. It seemed like they had a great day of business, we handed out a ton of bibles, handed out lots of free hot dogs and kettle corn, and people were worshiping God in the parking lot! I think God was glorified by all that went on there. Our ministry coordinator, Cheri Tew, did an awesome job putting everything together, and the team of students that went were also awesome. Awesomeness all around. Kristin Daniels also became a balloon artist in a few minutes!

I hope you’ll join us on our next outing for ministry.

Also, be on the lookout for a new evangelistic drama – Thanatos, which our church staff has created from scratch. It’s going to be awesome as well. The dates are September 15, 17-19 in the NOW Center (the old Montgomery Wards building). Casting is this Sunday, August 1st after church lets out.

Contact me if you have any questions.

Exam Packs

We had an awesome time handing out exam packs to students who are in the midst of their finals on three of our local campuses over the past two weeks. Please pray for the recipients, that they would be able to study well and succeed on their last tests for the semester!

If you are a college student who has not received an exam pack, please let us know, because we have some left that we want to hand out.

peace,
Bill

Quick note

We have switched rooms for our Sunday AM Connect Group. We are now meeting in Theatre 2, which is on the left when you enter the theatre lobby. The theatre is by the lakeside glass double doors, and there is a huge Converge logo over the indoor entrance. We still worship together at 9:30 AM, we still meet at 11 AM for our Connect group, we still have coffee, and we still have a great time discussing God’s amazing Word!

See you there!

Easter Sunday: Passover Seder w/ Pastor Mark

admin — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 20:54:13 +0000

Don’t miss Converge Connect Group this Sunday, April 4th at 11 AM for a unique and moving experience for Easter. We’ll be going through a traditional Passover Seder with Pastor Mark Bedwell, tying it to the death and resurrection of Christ in an amazing way. You will definitely want to be a part of it.

Remember what happened this week in history. Jesus went to the cross on our behalf. He lay in the grave for three days. He rose from the dead and conquered sin and death. We, by faith, join in that victory.

Thank you, Jesus, for saving us by Your amazing grace!

Have a blessed week, and we’ll see you Sunday, peeps (not the candy ones…)!

SPRING FORWARD :\ and other notes for Sunday, 3/14/10

admin — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 15:04:44 +0000

Don’t forget that this Saturday night is the dreaded “Spring Forward” night, the one we all look forward to all year ’round. (This means that you need to set your clocks ahead one hour at midnight (technically), which also means that you lose an hour, if you were unaware of the ramifications of what it meant to “spring”. Personally, I find this word much too positive-sounding for such an event. Instead, they should be reversed: Fall forward, and Spring backward. I think we all could get behind such a change, but I digress…)

This Sunday, I will be guiding our discussion about purpose, and in what ways God has given us purpose as His creation and as His children. Don’t miss it! I hope you’re all having a great week!
