What an exciting time we are in as we move forward to fulfill the vision that God has given to us.  As you know, we have been stressing the value of relationships lately.  Everything that God does is centered around relationships.  The Ten Commandments are all about relationships.  The first four deals with our relationship with God, and the last six deals with our relationships with man.  God created us for relationship with him and with one another.  Because of this understanding, we see the need to build ministries that nurture our relationships.

I am excited about the things that are going to be happening in the very near future.  We are preparing to lauch our new "Elders Program".  I believe that this is the next step in fulfilling our vision of 1000 Souls.  God has given us a vision of 1000 redeemed, Spirit filled, disciples of Jesus Christ.  This program will enable the church to move toward that goal by providing an atmosphere of nurture and care for every member of our church.

Please pray for this new ministry, and let's continue to move forward together toward the fulfillment of the vision that God has given us.
