Special Message: Here I Am Response
04/03/2009 Sort by: Special Messages | By Marc Schelske
Last week, on Saturday 3/28, we ended our series in Genesis with the movie clip entitled "A Thousand Questions." This video clip - found here - challenged us about our role in God's promise to bless the world. It ended with the words of Isaiah the prophet: "Here am I; send me." The response to this service and video has been very strong. Many of you asked where you could see the video again, and others asked about what steps to take next. Because of the response, we wanted to continue the conversation. So, please take a moment to watch this 6 minute video about what might come next for us. If you didn't get to see the video "A Thousand Questions," we suggest you watch it before watching this response.
So, what is the next step for you? We are going to provide a number of "next step" opportunities and experiences in the upcoming weeks. Watch the weekly email and weekend update for more information.
The first opportunity is to join us as we participate in a Night Strike. This is an activity of Bridge Town Ministries. On Friday, April 10th we'll be taking a group of 15 on this experience. We'll be serving some of Portland's homeless by delivering food and socks, washing feet and giving haircuts, as well as praying for people and listening to their stories. This is not a good event choice for small children; we are recommending 12 and up. Because of the limited space, this activity requires signing up ahead of time. If you want to join us call the office at 503-794-1696 or email wheelhouse@bridgecity.org.
In the coming weeks we'll be announcing other opportunities with different flavors and levels of engagement. Be watching for those, and if you have service ideas, ways that we as a church family can bless & serve, then let us know. It's time for us to expand beyond Circle 1 and Circle 2, and begin making a mark in Circle 3.
I look forward to seeing where this part of the journey takes us!
