Pastor Aaron Perry
Walk This Way: Rise & Walk (Matthew 28)

Experience & Encounter

These questions are an invitation to experience your life with God. Use them on your own or in community as you seek to follow Jesus.

  1. Where have you been staying seated or dragging your feet spiritually? Where is God calling you to rise and walk?
  2. What do you think of C.S. Lewis’ claim that the only thing Christianity cannot be is “moderately important”? How are you tempted to make your faith moderately important?
  3.  Jesus Christ was raised bodily and lives in a state of resurrection—of full and complete life. In His resurrection life, Christ meets us in various ways: through prayer, the Scriptures, fellowship with brothers and sisters in the faith, acts of service in Jesus’ name, sometimes in our pain and isolation. Where have you experienced the resurrected Christ? Where do you typically encounter Jesus?

“But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.” 1 JOHN 1:7 NIV

RESET

RESET meets on Monday nights at 6:30 pm in the Student Ministry Center. This is a place where you can be real, be authentic, and find community for growing in Christ.  If you are feeling stuck in your spiritual journey, RESET is a powerful avenue of discipleship.  Come and see!

  • We are looking for childcare workers to serve during RESET on Monday evenings. Volunteers work alongside a partner to care for 6–8 children for about two hours, helping create a safe and welcoming space for families. This support is a vital way to serve, making it possible for parents to attend RESET and grow in their faith. Reach out to Susanna if you can help.

 

Prayer 

We believe that God works powerfully through prayer!

  • There is a table in each of our worship spaces and you’re invited to use it to take or leave a Prayer Card. You can take a card and pray for each other— either take the card home and pray over the request, or take one at the beginning of the service and return it before leaving.  You can leave a card; if you have a request or praise that you’d like to share, fill out the card and leave it on the table (you do not have to provide your name).
  • You can also submit a request to our online Prayer Wall, or text pray to (717) 401-7777.
  • Please feel free to stop by the Prayer Room (Central Hallway) anytime on Sunday morning! Check out the available resources!
