Hey Movement Church! Here’s Tuesday’s update:

1. Thank You: I want to give a BIG THANK YOU to Dave Rey and each and every one of our MVP’s for doing such an AMAZING job last Sunday! Many didn’t know it but Pastor Jeff was filling in for a sister church of ours (preaching), and I had a Town Hall Meeting with the congregation of FBC during our Worship Experience. The pastors weren’t even there, yet by God’s grace you all filled in the gaps beautifully! You ARE Movement Church and I am so grateful!

2. Committed 120: This Sunday night is our next VISION SUNDAY! We’ll have LIVE WORSHIP, SNACKS, AND all the LATEST NEWS about our LAUNCH in Coventry! If you’re an OWNER, we need you to invite 5 people who want to make a serious difference with their lives to this event!

Next month (Sept. 9^th) will be our BIGGEST VISION SUNDAY YET! We’re meeting in the Coventry High School Auditorium! We’ll have LIVE WORSHIP, FREE FOOD, and GIVEAWAYS! Who are you going to bring? We need all hands on deck for this event! It will be life-changing, I promise!

3. Naked Truth, Part 2: We had such an AWESOME response to this series a few weeks ago that we decided to do it AGAIN! Just like before, you can text your questions in this week to 330.687.9284! The earlier you text in your questions, the better chance to get them answered! Some of the topics include: Is cussing a sin? Is it a sin to drink alcohol? What about near death experiences? So, grab your phone and text away! The crazier the question, the better!

4. IT’S HOT: I am grateful that you’re enduring the HOT and STEAMY rooms on Sundays! That shows serious dedication and love for your CHURCH! Because we don’t plan on being at that location for much longer, a more “long-term” solution isn’t wise. That being said, I would like your FEEDBACK (at the bottom) on the following “short-term” solution. What if we moved the remainder of our Worship Experiences to Sunday evenings (6:00PM)? We’d worship in the upstairs sanctuary in the A.C. The KidZone rooms would hopefully be a bit cooler than they are at NOON! Thoughts?

As always, I love all of you, and I am praying for God’s favor to fix us for His glory and our joy! Stay faithful to Him and honor Him and you will WIN!

I CANNOT WAIT UNITL SUNDAY! IT WILL BE AWESOME! WHO ARE YOU BRINGING?

Pastor Jeremy

2 Things You Need To Know Movement Church

Movement Church, I am so EXCITED about the direction our church is heading in, the doors that are opening before us, and the truly awesome things God is doing in our midst! There are 2 things I want to quickly share with you:

1. Slow down - I feel led to slow down from the Sunday grind that we're all used to, in order to focus on our upcoming launch in October. Why slow down? Great question!
Answer:

• Committed 120 - I want to focus the majority of my energy and time on building the Committed 120. To launch with 600-800 people, it is a MUST that we reach our goal of 120 adult visionaries who are ready to make a big impact! Are you in? If so, who do you know that would like the opportunity to be a part of a MOVE OF GOD? We will have printed material soon to arm you with to pass on to 10 people who you think may be interested. The goal is to invite them to one of the next Vision Labs (Aug. 12th; Sep. 9th). This commitment isn't forever. We are only requiring that they stay committed for 4 months, as we get this campus off and running to a great start!
• Pre-Launch Preparation - There is SO MUCH work to do to upgrade, design, promote, and layout our official launch worship experience! I could work 15 hours per day, 7 days per week until launch day on Pre-Launch alone! We only have ONE chance to make a first impression. If you are a part of the Committed 120, we will need your help in getting all of this done in time! Email me to get involved: jeremy@movementchurch.com
  
• Post Launch Preparation - My team and I need to focus on the first 12 weeks after we launch NOW (sermon series, music, logistics, volunteer staffing, organization, etc.). This alone is a TON of work! But I firmly believe that Jesus will not bless us with people if we are not ready and prepared to take great care of them!
  
• Merger with First Baptist Church - There are tons of legal details associated with merging two existing churches. Also, we are strategically thinking through how this merger will work and be a successful transition. As you can imagine, I am involved in many meetings hashing out all the details!
  

2. Help Me - Naturally, lots of prayer, faith, thought, time, energy, and effort are necessary on my part to do this thing correctly.

As your pastor, I am asking you to come along side of me in this and do your part too by praying that God brings us a minimum of 120 adults, and by being MORE than OKAY with not getting the "show" every Sunday morning for a short time! Of coarse, we will still have live worship and preaching, but I am going to have others preach in my place as we get closer and closer to launch day! Yes, I will be there EVERY SUNDAY, and so should YOU! :)

Realize that this sort of thing only happens once in a lifetime, and God has allowed you and I to be a part of it! I consider myself privileged, and I hope you do too!

Thank you for all your love and support! I love you all!

Pastor Jeremy
