Make it a priority to be at our finale Church-wide Prayer and Planning Meeting for Friend Sunday, March 15th, at 7pm this Wednesday, March 11th.  This coming Sunday is an important event at Christian Life Church that will enable us to accomplish our mission of "Loving God, Loving Others, and Living It Out"  while this Wednesday's meeting will help us accomplish this goal successfully.  We do not want to risk being unprepared, disorganized, frustrated, or undermanned on such a significant day!

Bishop Jay has told the entire church that all members are to be mobilized that day to make a difference in the lives of those who come on the property.  When you have guests to your home, do you just show up and sit down or do you spend time preparing and then serving when guests arrive so that you are not embarrassed?

Our Ministry Team has been asked to do the following:
1.  Have our own team breakfast at 8:30am (so we are able to do our ministry the rest of the day),
2.  Nursery and Sunday School at 9am,
3.  Nursery and Children's Church at 10am (including children's Breakfast Time), and
4.  Hallway attendants to direct first-time guest children to classrooms.

Note:  The whole congregation has been asked to invite three un-churched family or friends to service that day so that our attendance could possibly, not double or triple, but actually quadruple.

Knowing how crucial our ministry is and how many things are involved, make sure to attend the Prayer and Planning Meeting.  Remember that we want to "make the most of every opportunity" (Colossians 4:5), and Friend Sunday will be a big one for us to potentially influence the lives of numerous children and their families and help persons--including little ones--who might not normally go to church become connected to Jesus.
