Dear Church Family,
3:16 on 3/16! On March 16 we are going to have a special emphasis on the most famous verse in the Bible, John 3:16. We are encouraging all of our people to get someone on their heart to bring with them that day. It’s an opportunity for us to celebrate the gospel of Jesus through this amazing verse of scripture that so many people have memorized and so many people need to hear. I want to ask you to pray about someone the Lord would put on your heart to come with you on March 16. Everything we do that day will focus upon the glorious gospel of Jesus. I can’t think of a more exciting day than a day we celebrate the greatest gift of all – the Lord Jesus Christ! We have some invite cards that are available for you to invite your friends.
We’re so grateful and thankful for new members that come our way. We’re having North Central Connect on March 2. This is a class where all new members and those interested in membership have an opportunity to come and hear about the passion of our church and what it means to become a member of this fellowship. We’re so grateful for the way the Lord continues to add to our fellowship.
On March 9 we will have the Lord’s Supper. This is a service which the Lord Jesus gave to the church. Come and be ready to partake in this special communion together.
We will also have a Special Called Business Meeting on March 9 prior to the morning service. The purpose of this meeting is to elect messengers for upcoming meetings of our association and the Southern Baptist Convention.
On March 5 we are hosting the Sira Men’s Breakfast from 7:30 to 9:00 AM. This breakfast is complimentary for the men to attend. It’s important for every man to register and you can do so by contacting Sira directly at info@siragainesville.com or 352- 377-4947. We are honored to be hosting this wonderful event and we want our North Central men to be well represented in this strategic event. This is not a fundraiser but an informational meeting for prayer and encouragement to help men in the community know what Sira does and the ministry that they have in our community. I look forward to seeing you there.
We will have Evangelism Training on April 6. Mark your calendar from 5:00 to 6:30 PM. We will have a pizza supper for all who attend. Please contact the church office to register for this event.
On April 12 we are going to go into some of our communities close to the church and invite folks to come to our Easter services. This will be a tremendous opportunity for us to reach out to those around us to include them in our Easter celebration.
Our own Men’s Breakfast is scheduled for March 29. Please mark your calendar for this special event.
It is a joy to be your Pastor. We’re so excited about studying the book of Second Corinthians under the theme God’s Grace in the Church. The Lord truly has blessed this precious fellowship of believers. I look forward to seeing you as we continue a busy spring serving the Lord Jesus together!
God bless you!
Pastor Calvin
