Forward Forecast SEP’12

18 09 2012

Tuesdays in September “Not a Fan”   Are you a fan or a follower?  How would things change if you lived as Jesus lived, and loved the way He loved? These questions will be answered in an 8 week church-wide series. We will focus on the calling of every Christian to truly follow Jesus Christ. “Not a Fan” is a challenge to look at your relationship with Jesus with fresh eyes, a movement toward a life of endeavor in His name. Each week involves a good meal, live music, and a meaningful conversation/message. Invite a friend every week. Looking forward to seeing you here!

EVENT HORIZON

Faith-Sharing Resource Event.  Mark your calendars for 28OCT, 2:00-5:30pm.  Inherent in the life of following Christ is understanding how to share “the hope we profess” (Hebrews 10:23).  This event is offered at the culmination of our ‘Not a Fan’ series.  This is a great next-step in expressing our faith and following Christ. Let’s make a morning/afternoon of the experience: after the 11:00am worship service, we’ll grab lunch together, enjoy building friendships, and then return to CRC to discover how we can fulfill our calling to share our faith in the everyday.

Haiti Endeavor: 25OCT-02NOV.  Our team for 25OCT-02NOV2012 will return to Tiburon, Haiti in partnership with RMI.  Our efforts in Haiti will be centered on perpetuating our ongoing relationships with the people of Tiburon and the children CRC sponsors there.  Additionally, as well as serve with a medical team, distribute Stop Hunger Now meals, agricultural projects, clean water filter distribution, and other creative projects.
