Connections to Christ

Everybody has the need to be connected to something or someone. The rage it appears in culture is to try to "connect" to find intimacy and blot out the loneliness that the single life offers in the world. The internet offers all kinds of connections to all kinds of activities, most of them are rooted in the flesh. We are presently trying to form a new minsistry in our current response to Christ in Modesto. It is a connections ministry, better yet it is a ministry about connecting people to Christ.
We have spent a lot of effort teaching ourselves the importance of inviting people to events at church. Now we are following up with the next step. That is assimilating these people who have responded to our invitations. We will need this to be a congregational effort, all are invited to be a part of this effort. We want to start in the parking lot and make people feel wecome their entire visit with us. I am excited about this new adventure. Please pray for this effort.
