Every Family in God's Service

MISSION: IMPROBABLE

March is Missions Month at Legacy. To help us concentrate on our role in God’s eternal plans to redeem the world, we’re going to dive into the story of Jonah. And we’re going to establish that God is the star of the story. Not Jonah. Not the big fish. Not the sailors or the storm or the Ninevites or the vine or the worm or the cows in sackcloth. God is the main character. Our God is the One overcoming the hurdles erected by man in order to bring salvation to his creation. Our God is the One who acts in improbable ways in improbable circumstances to redeem the world.

March 28 is Missions Sunday. The goal is $225,000 to fund the entire local and foreign missions budget for 2010. That’s an average of $325 per Legacy family unit.

There will be a few bad whale jokes and some groan-inducing puns as we work together toward Missions Sunday. But together we’ll re-discover the truth of our Lord’s concern for his whole creation. We’ll see that our Father does his greatest work when the odds are stacked against him. And we’ll encourage and empower one another to jump into that work with everything we have.

March 7     “God’s Unmistakable Call”

March 14     “God’s Gracious Deliverance”

March 21     “God’s Determined Persistence”

March 28     “God’s Outrageous Grace”

We’ll study and pray and preach and sing. We’ll welcome guest speakers and skyped-in missionaries. We’ll be challenged and stretched to grow and to give. And we’ll be amazed at the unlikely ways our all-powerful and all-loving Lord continues to save.

Peace,

Allan
