EACH MONTH, WE FOCUS ONDOING ONE THING AS A CHURCHTO SHOW THE LOVE OF CHRIST TOOUR COMMUNITY, ACROSS THESTREET AND ACROSS THE SEA.

2017-2018

Hello Friends,

So passionate about the opportunity we have to help one more person find and follow Jesus.  Psalm 96:3 says, "Publish his glorious deeds among the nations.  Tell everyone about the amazing things he does."  We get to do this!  In our words and deeds, we show people who Jesus is.  Crazy!  

At Generations Church, OneThing is our program to mobilize around one focus or missional pafocus or missional partnership each month, across the street & across the sea.  

DO. We get involved by praying, encouraging and serving.       GIVE.  We get involved by investing dollars above our regular giving. GO.  We get involved by taking a short-term trip to gain a new perspective of the world.   

Young or old, rich or poor, there's opportunity for everyone.  And everyone is needed.  Along the way, here's what to expect:

First day of the month.  An update on the project of the month at wearegenerations.church/onething.   First Sunday of the month.  Printed specifics on the project of the month and any tools you'll need to get involved.  Last day of the month.  An update on what was accomplished during the previous month at wearegenerations.church/onething.   

Enclosed in this booklet is a partner card, where you can indicate your desidesire to be involved and level of commitment.  Let's do this!  

- Jildi Gentry, Outreach Director
