This Sunday, February 5, we launch a 3-week outreach emphasis called Tell Someone. Not coincidentally, this Sunday is also Missions Day, when many of our missionaries and ministry partners will be in the Gathering Place for the Missions Fair (be sure to stop by before or after the worship service).
Why?
We want to start off 2017 being intentional about loving our neighbors (both across the street and around the world).
Please make every effort to be in Sunday School for this 3-week emphasis. I believe you'll be encouraged and equipped to love your neighbors, minister to them, invite them to church, and ultimately share Christ with them. At the very least, I think you'll begin to think differently about sharing Christ than perhaps you have in the past.
As part of Tell Someone, we're asking you to take the 3-2-1 Challenge between this Sunday and Easter Sunday: Pray for 3 people who don't know Christ, invite 2 people to join us for Easter, and tell someone about Jesus. I can't wait to see what God can and will do through us!

From the barrage of decisions that we face everyday to job troubles, health concerns, broken relationships...and oh, yeah, pretty much everything
that's happening in the world--
there are lot of reasons to be afraid.
Some biblical scholars say that "fear not" and similar phrases are present in the Bible 365 times (odd that the number matches the number of days in a year, isn't it?). This 4-week series, beginning February 12, will teach on the topics of anxiety, making decisions, creating margins, and staying God-focused. This is a series we can all use! Did someone specific come to mind? Invite them to join you for the series, or share the sermon videos with them.

I was a 20-something, single teacher in Dallas.
Weary of pursuing things that never seemed to satisfy, I was frustrated that I seemed to be "spinning my wheels" in efforts that didn't really have a lasting impact. Until someone posed a question to me that truly changed the direction of my life...
