Velocity Reflex…

As we mentioned yesterday, velocity can be defined as the speed at which something moves in a certain direction.  We may never have thought of it this way, but we’d all love to have velocity, right? Direction? Momentum? Making a difference? And getting there as fast as possible? That’s what we’re talking about during this series, and yesterday, we unpacked some HUGE EVENTS coming down the line designed to be used by God to give our lives and our church spiritual and mission velocity! Mark your calendars for these events:

• I’ll start with the biggest news and then back into everything else!                     On Sunday, Aug 9, we WILL celebrate our Grand opening of our                  New Worship Auditorium!
• Tuesday, 6/30: Our first “Fast & Furious Tuesday”: A special day (besides Sunday) dedicated  to seeking God’s Kingdom FIRST in an intensified way, in our our lives. We’re asking you to join us in a special day of prayer & fasting every Tuesday for the next 40 days (I’ll blog more about this first thing tomorrow AM).
• Wednesday, July 15: “MERGE: Revved Up” will happen at our N. Forsyth campus. On this night we’ll celebrate all that God’s done thru our W. Forsyth campus and also commission our latest church planting residents, the Hendersons as they leave to go back to Australia to start a church that changes the way people think about church!
• On Sunday July 19, our WEST and NORTH campuses will MERGE as we get ready to move into our new auditorium! This is going to enable us to have even GREATER synergy, and therefore velocity,  as a church (I’ll release a video blog on this later today).
• Wednesday, July 22: Growth Groups start back! We’ll begin  doing life together more, praying together more, and dreaming God’s future for our lives and our church more THIS WEEK!
• Friday 7/24- Saturday 7-25: We’re calling it: “V12”: an all night prayer event at Mountain Lake Church! We’re asking every person and family that calls our church home to nail down a 30 minute slot to pray at our campus. As a church we will pray all night, and doing so, identifying with Jesus: “One day soon afterward Jesus went to a mountain to pray, and he prayed to God all night.” Luke 6:12 (NLT)
• Sunday August 2: Sneak Preview of our bldg! ON this Sunday we WILL worship in our new bldg for the first time. this is not our Gran Opening. Just a sneak preview!
• Sunday, August 2: On this same day, and we will also dismiss our church by services to go BE the church in our community the rest of the afternoon! We’re calling it: “Servolution”. Sign-up’s will begin in a couple of weeks!
• Sunday, Aug 9: Did I mention we’re celebrating our Grand Opening of our new auditorium in six weeks?! We want to be prepared spiritually, relationally, and missionally, to be the church that makes God smile! Get prepared!

As you can see, there’s a TON going on! Over the next 40 days I am praying that God pours out His Spirit on the families at Mountain Lake Church, changes us, and changes this community through us! Don’t miss out on the journey!
