It’s February, Be Happy!

February in Minnesota—I can’t think of a better time to be here! Why? Because February overflows with opportunities to step out in faith, trust God and serve others. Here are two great ways to find a little warmth in the month ahead.

The Micah Project

“…the Lord has told you what is good, and this is what he requires of you: to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.” Micah 6:8

The Micah Project pulls together challenging messages from our teaching pastors, hands-on experiences with our ministry partners, and practical action plans for individuals, families and small groups.

The Micah Project is an initiative of the Not Without You campaign that extends far beyond the walls of Eagle Brook. This is our opportunity for each of us to be the church in the world in a big way. You can find out more about The Micah Project by clicking here.

The Blaine Initiative

I’ve always loved pioneering new projects. And as a long-time church planter, there’s nothing more fulfilling at this point in my life than helping to launch a new EBC campus.

Like The Micah Project, the Blaine initiative is taking shape because of the generosity of those who are giving toward the Not Without You campaign. It’s rewarding to see the immediate impact of our contributions, even though we’re just a few months into the campaign.

Here’s how the Blaine initiative is shaping up:

The Blaine staff and volunteers will lead temporary Sunday evening services at the SLP campus at 4:05 and 6:05 beginning on February 28. Those who wish to serve as Blaine volunteers must complete a serving interest form and check the box marked “Blaine.”

The Sunday evening services will be available until the Blaine campus opens (which we anticipate to be sometime in the fall of 2010).

The Sunday evening services will be a full Eagle Brook weekend experience with live worship, Café 5000, Beyond Books, Kid-O-Deo, Club K-Rock, and the current weekend message (recorded earlier that day).

We’re asking those who plan to attend at Blaine when it opens, as well as a few hundred people who plan to stay at SLP, to make a Sunday evening service their primary choice for weekend worship. This will make seats available for our guests in the regularly scheduled weekend services.

Ah yes, February in Minnesota. With all the opportunities to serve, we’ll breeze through the final weeks of winter. And before you can catch your breath, spring will be upon us. Now that’s something to smile about!
