SUMMARY:Life-to-Life Kick-off
DESCRIPTION:Life-to-Life Discipleship Kick-off January 24: At the end of the Gospel of Matthew\, Jesus calls us to “Go and make disciples of all nations”.\nWe believe this so strongly that we have painted it on the walls of our sanctuary\, yet what does it mean to be a disciple?\nWhen Jesus called his disciples\, it was a life changing experience for them.\nThey left their familiar lives behind and embarked on a brave new journey with Jesus.\nThey were called to walk with him\, to live life with him\, to be willing to receive his correction\, and were willing to be held accountable to what Jesus taught them. \nLife-to-Life Discipleship aims to mirror this process. \nThis 15-week study begins with meeting us where we are now\, and then just as Jesus called his original 12 disciples to follow\, calls us to stop into a journey with him.\nWe will gain a deeper walk with him through Bible study and accountability partners.\nWe then dive deeper into issues such as what it means to be a servant leader and how to let God control our health\, our finances\, and our families. \nThis study is designed for adults of all ages\, and for our high schoolers who will be doing this study during Energizers meetings. \nInterested\, but you’d like more information?\nPlease come to our kickoff event on January 24 at 1pm in the Family Life Center. \nWe hope to see you there! \nAfter the kickoff event\, regular meetings will be held throughout the week at various times and locations\, which are listed below.\nSundays – 1pm with Stephen and Rachel Katterhenrich in Room 103-4\nMondays – 6-7:30pm with Dan and Jenn Czaplicki (off site)\nTuesdays – 7-8:30pm with Susan Previts (off-site)\nThursdays – 9:30-11am with Pastor Don Allman in Room 103-4\nFridays – 10-11:30am with David Shrum and Vicar Billie Fisch in the FLC
