Fulfill, verb – to furnish or supply to the full that which is wished for. (Oxford English Dictionary)
Wouldn’t you like for your life to be like that? Filled to the full with the blessings of God? Well, the way you get to that fulfillment is by finding and actualizing the purposes for which you were created by God. And we want to help you do that. Beginning on Sunday, September 9, you are invited to invest forty days of your life discovering the five primary purposes for which you were created by God. And here’s how we will be making the most of those forty days:
First, we will be using Rick Warren’s popular book, The Purpose Driven Life as our guide. The book is divided into forty short chapters, each of which provides the basis for a daily meditation. Everyone is encouraged to read through the book, a chapter a day, beginning with Sunday, September 9. If you already have a book, great! Re-read it with us! If you don’t, we will be giving away free paper-back copies each Sunday. If you need a copy for yourself, take one. If you have a friend or friends with whom you would like to share, take some!
Most importantly, however, are our small group meetings. In fact, they are so important that we are canceling other church activities on these nights to encourage everyone to participate. These groups of ten or more people will meet throughout the week at various host homes. Each meeting will be led by a group facilitator who will guide the group throughout the six weeks of meetings. Participants are encouraged to join one group and to remain with that group throughout the forty days. Youth will be meeting together at the church on Sunday nights for their own forty day study time. I cannot stress how important these small group times are for your personal spiritual growth. If you only do one thing during this time, join a small group!
