Here are 3 things you need to know this week - -

1)  This coming Sunday, May 6th, everyone is gathering together at Arrowhead Golf Course's banquet facilities in Caro as we begin weekly launch team meetings!  Not quite a full-blown worship service, we will offer fun, Jesus-centered kids' ministry while teens and adults are under Jon's teaching. 

These new weekly gatherings are super important as we put the pieces together for launching later in the year.  Just bring a Bible, a notebook, and be ready to laugh and learn!!  Click here to invite your Facebook friends to this event!  Together, let's bring Life to Mid-Michigan! 

2)  That same day, we'll officially kick-off our 50 in 50 initiative!  We have an audacious, God-sized goal to raise 50K in 50 Days!  Every single dollar will go toward church start-up equipment, kids' ministry, and outreach.  More 50 in 50 info + online giving here.

3)  Jon and Amber are in Chicago all this week in the running for a major church planting grant for Life Church - - please keep them and that process in prayer!  In the meantime, here's a few links to check out:

• Watch these recent documentaries on church planting.  They paint a great picture about operating in great faith:
• This Is How We Change The World  -  Elevation Church
• God's Work, Our Witness  -  Mars Hill Church
• Last week I blogged some NEW FAQ's on our church start-up
• Prayer Requests on Life Church's Facebook page
• And for the latest on our church start-up, sign up for free E*Blasts here!

Thank you for your prayers, encouragement, and enthusiasm!  We truly believe God is putting the pieces together for this new work... we can't wait to go public and do whatever it takes to reach the thousands of people throughout our region so that they might experience new life in Christ!!
