✝️ [Mars Hill Anywhere Updates] Join Our Journey: From Isolation to Community Starts Now
|
Dear Mars Hill Anywhere Family, Welcome to this week's Mars Hill Anywhere update! As we continue to grow together in faith and fellowship, we are excited to share some pivotal developments and heartfelt invitations with you. From reflections on our latest sermon to exciting news about our Life Groups and upcoming services, this newsletter is packed with opportunities for connection, growth, and celebration. Whether you're joining us in person or online, there's something special for everyone. Let's explore what's happening at Mars Hill and how you can become an integral part of our vibrant community. Recap of Last Week's Sermon: "The Power of The Pivot"Last week, Minister Marcie Wilson inspired us with a sermon on "The Power of The Pivot," focusing on the necessity and strength found in change. Emphasizing adaptation, the sermon offered biblical wisdom and practical advice for embracing life's shifts, identifying personal strengths, and navigating transitions with faith. It was a call to view change as a growth opportunity, developing resilience and a mindset ready for God-led transformations, whether in careers, personal life, or spiritual journey. The message encouraged us to trust divine guidance and confidently step into new chapters.
Life Groups: Deepening Our Faith TogetherWe are excited to continue our journey with the second session of our Life Groups, exploring Chapters 7-12 of "From Rubble to Renewal: The Nehemiah Strategy for Modern Times." These gatherings provide a fantastic platform for discussion, connection, and spiritual growth within our Mars Hill community. Not yet a part of a Life Group? Don't worry!

Your feedback not only supports our community but also helps others discover the power of this resource. Next In-Person ServiceWe welcome you back this week, whether you join us in person or online. Our Easter service was a testament to our growing community. It marked our largest in-person gathering to date and tripled our online attendance! Building on this momentum, I'm excited to introduce a new sermon series, "Alone Together: Breaking Bonds of Isolation."
📍In-Person Location: Over six weeks, we will embark on a transformative journey to address loneliness, build meaningful relationships, and foster a sense of belonging within our community. This series will delve into the art of friendship, breaking down barriers, and equipping us with practical tools for connection. Through biblical wisdom and real-world applications, "Alone Together" guides us from solitude to solidarity, empowering us to forge lasting bonds and experience the joy of community. Join us for this inspiring journey toward deeper connections and shared experiences. I'm ready to meet weekly, are you?This year has been a season of bi-monthly gatherings at Mars Hill, fostering our faith and fellowship.
