It seems like not a week goes by and our church is invited to participate in an event, ministry opportunity, or missions effort. (or give money to these things) Generally all of these options are good, noble causes. The question we struggle with is, which of these options does God want us to be involved in?
Our former approach was to use the shotgun approach, which means we got involved with a lot of things in a very minimal way. We gave small amounts of money to many different organizations. We had several mission trip opportunities to choose from. We did lots of different events. Recently we have been discussing a need to have a more focused approach to these things. We no longer wanted to be a "jack of all trades and a master of none".
We are going to give more money, effort and attention to fewer things. And I think the results will be much better.
3 of the local ministries that we will be supporting are the Foothills Pregnancy Care Center, The Golden Corner Food Bank, and Our Daily Rest homeless shelter. In fact we are going to be doing a huge concert on October 23rd called "Resonate" , and all proceeds will go toward these ministries.
Make sure you mark that date on your calendars. It is going to be amazing. Our 3 worship leaders will bring their teams together to celebrate the power and passion of music. It will have a lot of surprises and it will be an event YOU DO NOT WANT TO MISS!
I will be posting more details in the near future.
