MISSIONS IMPACT!
Every October we turn our focus to local and global missions. We will celebrate these partnership and invite you to celebrate with us! If you choose to participate in Missions Impact by giving, you can start that today on the app! You can either
give now or make a pledge. When you give online, be sure to select “Missions Impact 2027: as the Fund.

DAY OF PRAYER & FASTING
During Missions Impact, we focus our attention on the work God is doing locally and globally through our mission partners. On Wednesday, October 7, we invite you to join us in fasting throughout the day, either from food or social media or something else that helps you focus your attention back toward God. As we fast, keep our mission work in your prayers. And then we’ll break our fast together at 6:30pm with Sharky’s burritos.
There is no cost, but donations will be accepted.

MID-WEEK FOCUS IS CHANGING
For October, rather than our rhythm of going live each Wednesday morning, be checking Facebook and Instagram for weekly videos from us. We will be sharing stories about how God has impacted us through the work of missions and being in the world. We hope these are encouraging to you and share a picture of the ways God is moving in the world. If you aren't following us on social media yet, please follow us so you won't miss any updates!
