IMPACT 2018

“‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ ^{i 38} This is the first and greatest commandment. ³⁹ And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’”

Once again we are preparing to partner with the Eaton First Church of God and possibly other churches for Impact 2018.  On Sunday morning, May 20, instead of meeting here at our facility, we will once again gather at the Eaton Performing Arts Center across the street.  (No services will be held at our facility that morning.) We will gather for worship and then head out into the community for various spring clean-up projects in public spaces and private homes. For those who are unable to physically participate there will be a prayer service after the worship, to pray for our community.  New this year will be a lunch gathering at Seven Mile Park after the service projects.

Even though this is our second year we understand that this is something different than our normal Sunday morning.  We know this requires some sacrifice, and believe it will be worth giving up a little of our own comfort in order to love our neighbors.  I encourage you to live out your faith in Jesus Christ be being a part of this great gathering.
