GATHER 25 REPLAY

Gather 25 was an incredible 25 hours of prayer, worship, repentance, and mobilization of Jesus followers from around the world. If you missed it or want to experience it again, you can watch the full event at https://live.gather25.com. God is moving in the world and you are invited to be part of taking the gospel to everybody everywhere. How would you live if you knew Jesus was coming back in the next 10 years?

Imagine the joy of kids getting to celebrate their special day with pizza, cupcakes, decorations, a birthday gift, and a Bible. We need nearly $1,000 to make this dream a reality.

LATE NIGHT MEN’S STUDY

A new men’s group will meet the last Wednesday of February, March, and April from 8:30—10 PM in the Multipurpose Room. The first meeting will be this Wednesday, February 26. The first 30 minutes will be set aside for fellowship, so please bring your own non-alcoholic beverage, and your favorite snack to share. At 9 PM, those gathered will pray and then take turns reading aloud from the book of Romans and pause to read footnotes, discuss historical context, look up inter-biblical references, and answer questions. We will dismiss at 10 PM but lingering for further discussion, study, and prayer is possible. All men, regardless of age or biblical knowledge, are welcome!

A SLICE OF FAITH

This Sunday, February 23, 4 PM—All are invited to join in an evening of worship, Bible study, and pizza. We will meet the last Sunday of each month, February through April, at the Luverne Pizza Ranch starting at 4:00 PM. After prayer and taking time to share how God is working in our lives, we will focus our discussion around some more complex religious ideas: the meanings of sacrifice and faith, Christian hope vs secular pessimism, and how to share our daily miracles with an unbelieving culture. During our conversation, we will enjoy a delicious buffet featuring a meal even the richest kings of the Bible would never have been able to dream up. Cost for the pizza buffet will be each participant’s own expense.

N2N FOOD PANTRY

The Connections Team invites you to donate to our Neighbor To Neighbor Food Pantry located  inside the Laundry Room laundromat in Luverne. Place donated food items in the baskets by the north or west entrances at ARC. This month we are gathering canned meat items.
