2009 Theme, Community Items, Perspectives Spring Classes (Pastoral Emphasis from 1/4)

Happy New Year. Our theme for 2009 is "Growing to Spiritual Maturity". We want to focus on our spiritual growth and move from 'milk' to 'meat'.

The Men's Ministry will be starting a Men's Bible Study every Second Sunday beginning January 14th. All men are invited to attend and participate.

Don't forget about the other areas for spiritual growth: Sunday School, Tuesday Prayer (6pm & 7pm), Wednesday evening Bible Study (7pm), and Thursday morning Bible Study (9am).

All girls ages 9 to 17 and their parent or guardian are asked to be present for the Girls Enrichment Ministry kickoff on Jan.24th at 9 am.

A couple of Community items:
  • The Town is considering annexing 10 areas in Cary which may affect some of our members. Public informational meetings are being held between 5-8 p.m. on January 13 at the Senior Center and January 14 at the Herb Young Community Center. Both sessions will provide the same information. Citizens will be given an opportunity to ask questions regarding the annexation and extension of municipal services to the proposed areas (there may be costs to the citizens with the annexation). The areas under consideration are Brookridge, Carpenter Upchurch Road, Country Lane/Mickey Lane, Evans Road, Hemlock Ridge, Jenks Carpenter Road, Pleasant Grove Church Road, Reedy Creek Road and Woodland Acres.
  • Raise the Praise Worship Experience with Dr Norman Hutchins on 1/9 at 7pm at NC State. He will perform "It's Your Season", "God's Got A Blessing". It's free but you need tickets to attend.
For more details on these community items, see our Community page.

Perspectives on the World Christian Movement is a ministry course providing training for Christians to be equipped for local cross-cultural ministry, missions, and for discipling the nations. Spring classes are starting on Wed. evenings on Jan. 14th in Apex and Durham. It's a 15 week long course. If anyone is serious interested, please contact Elder Bullock for more details.

2008 Contribution Statements are available at the Welcome Center for pickup during the month of January.

Mortgage Burning Ceremony (10.6.24)

Today is a day of celebration and gratitude as we come together to witness the burning of our church’s mortgage! This moment represents years of faith, commitment, and sacrificial giving from this congregation. It’s a testament to God’s faithfulness and the dedication of His people. What we are celebrating today is not just the end of a financial obligation, but the beginning of new possibilities for missions, outreach, and service in our community.   ---     Psalm 127:1 says, ‘Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.’   This building has been more than just bricks and mortar; it has been a spiritual home where so many lives have been touched by the gospel. We recognize that while we’ve paid off the mortgage, it is the Lord who has truly built this house, sustaining us through every season.   --- History of the Vision         Though this chapter is closing, the mission God has ...

My Hope Sunday, M:T Not a Competition, Prayer Gathering (Pastoral Emphasis for 10/13)

Today was My Hope Sunday ! We had several invited guests, and my message was from 1 Samuel 8:4-9 on "Looking for a Savior".  Israel wanted a king like the other nations who would “save” them. This is the very definition of a functional savior. A functional savior is anything or anyone a person looks to for ultimate hope, security, identity, or fulfillment in place of God. Whatever you look to to “save” you from your problems, fears, or insecurities is your functional savior. But all of our functional saviors cannot save us. Jesus is the Savior we really need!  Our greatest need in this life and the life to come is to have our sins forgiven by trusting in Jesus as our Lord and Savior! Today, my wife shared her My Hope Testimony .   (RSS Subscribers: click here to watch the video) Missions:Together’s "Not a Competition" is a powerful missions gathering designed to re-ignite your passion for missions on Saturday, November 2, hosted at The Summit Church in Apex.
