This past Sunday we announced a historic change and transition for our church: on September 25, 2011, our church will be merging with Coram Deo Church Community. After months of prayer and years of God’s providence, our elder team affirms that this is God’s work and we give praise to God for this.
So what happens next? Here is a brief calendar look at the next month as we prepare for this historic marriage of two churches becoming one.
- Sunday, August 28: We publicly shared the announcement. Beginning this week, those committed to Core and Coram Deo can log on to The City, learn more about Missional Communities, and begin exploring Coram Deo’s social networking tool. Furthermore, Core HCs will be spending time together this week and the coming few weeks to thank God for all he has done and prepare to make the transition into Coram Deo Missional Communities.
- Sunday, September 4: Pastor Ethan will teach out of Nehemiah, giving further direction and preparation for being a part of the movement of the gospel in our city with Coram Deo. During the week, keep pursuing a Missional Community!
- Sunday, September 11: Core turns 11 years old! This is the perfect time to praise God for all He has done. We will gather as a church to sing, give thanks, tell stories, and glorify God for his faithfulness. During the week, keep pursuing a Missional Community!
- Sunday, September 18: Pastor Ethan will be preaching at Coram Deo’s morning gatherings, while Pastor Bob Thune will be preaching at Core’s morning gathering. Make sure you DO NOT go to Coram Deo’s gathering; come to the Playhouse and listen as Bob Thune shares with us before the official merging. Oh, and keep pursuing a Missional Community!
- Sunday, September 25: We worship Jesus together, 2 churches becoming 1! There will be 2 gathering times: 9 and 11am. And we will be meeting at Westside Middle School. Come, bring your friends, and be a part of this historic time. Just make sure you are radically pursuing getting in a Missional Community!
