As the weather forecasts continue to worsen, Chesterfield County has once again closed all buildings for the weekend.  Because of this, we are unable to meet at Swift Creek Elementary School on Sunday.  We have weighed all possible options, and because of the deteriorating weather, have decided to cancel this Sundays service instead of seeking a different venue.

As I stated last week, this does not mean you cannot worship God.  God’s mission through His Son, Jesus goes far outside of the walls of our auditorium and into each of our lives.  As we dig out from this third snowstorm of the year, please keep all those around you in mind.  Maybe there were missed opportunities last weekend, or there will be new opportunities available this time.  Our neighborhoods are ripe with people, and will be busy with activity once the snow ends.  Be active and be visible for God to allow you to take part in His great mission.

Keep in mind that we WILL be meeting next Sunday, February 14 @ Swift Creek Elementary @ 10 am. We will continue through chapter 4 of Galatians as we conclude our 3-week Freedom mini-series with “Freedom to Dream.” This is a message that will cast a vision of the fact that God has a greater plan for our lives than we could ever imagine, and through Jesus, we have the freedom to dream big for the Kingdom of God.  You do not want to miss it! It would be a great way to start your Valentine’s Day.

As you go through this weekend and the following week, build relationships and invite people to the Village so that they can hear the Gospel.

Also, keep in mind that as the church is scattered throughout the week, we have many choices in community groups.  This is the greatest way to begin to build relationships within the church, and strategize with others how God can use your life on His mission!

Do not lose heart, and make sure you are there next Sunday as we begin to dream for the Gospel!
