February 21-23
“Come, see a man…
Can this be the Christ?”
-John 4:29
In the Gospel of John, we find a story of a Samaritan woman who has a life-changing encounter with Jesus. Immediately after, she runs to tell others of what happened, pleading with them to “Come, see a man who told me all that I ever did. Can this be the Christ?”
Intrigued, they follow her to hear Jesus for themselves. Shortly after, they tell the Samaritan woman that “It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this is indeed the Savior of the world.”
In February, our church family will gather for our 2nd-annual Missions Summit, where we’ll explore a simple truth:
When we see Jesus, we’re inspired to
share the good news with others
So, from February 21-23, we invite you to come and see Jesus – to see that He is the Savior of the world, to witness the transformation He brings, and to receive His invitation to join in His work!
