We want to be a place where you can learn about Jesus and connect with him. We want you to experience God’s love and find opportunities to share that love. And we want you to discover your gifts and be able to serve within the church and in the wider area.
This year, as we live, love, and lead, we want to focus on what it looks like to Connect Well in order to Live Well. One way to do that is with Church: Beyond the Walls. On Sunday, October 6, we will go into our communities and neighborhoods to share the love of Jesus with others. It’s a great opportunity to connect with people within Hershey Free by serving together and also with those in our local area.
The first step is gathering potential projects. We encourage you to think about your co-workers or neighbors who aren’t connected to a church and could use some assistance. Maybe you volunteer at a local organization that would benefit from a group of people participating in a specific project. In the past, projects have included yard work, painting, baking cookies, writing cards, construction, sewing, and more! We need your eyes and ears in the community to find and submit potential projects.
In a few weeks, we will open sign-ups so you can select a project to participate in that Sunday. Mark your calendar now for Church: Beyond the Walls on Sunday, October 6!
**There will be no regular services on this day**
In order to accomplish our five-year vision, we set one-year milestones. This year, the milestone is Connect Well - Live Well. Jesus stated that a defining quality of his followers would be the character and vitality of their relationships. We have been designed to be “for one another,” and our relationships are an important dimension of human flourishing. In this series, we will explore this vision, as we learn what it means to connect well and live well.
Over the next year, we will create environments geared towards building relationships. We will encourage each other to learn what it looks like to offer hospitality in our spheres of influence. We will lead by example on Sundays to have an atmosphere of connectedness. Be sure to check out some of the opportunities we have planned for the year.
Do you have questions about God? Have you wondered if there is more to life than this? Why did Jesus have to die? Alpha is a safe space to ask questions and for anyone to feel free to say what’s on their minds about God, Jesus, Christianity, etc. Alpha is a 10-week series exploring the basics of the Christian faith in a relaxed, low-key environment. Each evening begins with dinner, followed by a video series and discussion. Alpha might be your next step in your faith journey, or you might have a friend who could benefit from this experience. Alpha is on Thursdays, beginning September 19, from 6:30 to 8:15 PM in the Core Cafe.
