Easter is Coming - April 5th
Easter is one of the most natural and meaningful times to invite someone to experience Jesus with you. As followers of Jesus, part of our calling is to help others take their next step toward Him—and a simple invitation can make an eternal difference. As we look ahead to Easter on Sunday, April 5, begin praying about the one person God might place on your heart to invite. A coworker, neighbor, friend, or family member could be just one invitation away from encountering the hope of Jesus. Who is the one person you will invite to sit with you this Easter? Take a moment this week to pray for them, reach out, and invite them to join you at one of our Easter services.
2 Services at Ball Road - 9 & 10:45am

Easter Candy Drive
As we prepare for our Community Easter Event on March 28th at 10am at both campuses, we’re collecting individually wrapped candy to help make the day extra fun for the families we’ll be welcoming. This family-friendly event will include interactive Easter stations, crafts, games, storytelling, and more. You can drop off candy donations in the lobby over the next couple of weeks. More details to come — we can’t wait to celebrate with our community!
Rising 6th Graders Meet & Greet – March 18th
We’re excited to welcome our rising 6th graders into Student Ministry! Join us on Wednesday, March 18th at 6:30pm in the Large Group Room at either the Ball Road Campus or Knox Center Campus. This special evening is designed for rising 6th graders to experience what a typical night at Student Ministry looks like, meet their leaders, and start building connections. Parents are invited to attend to see what your student will experience and will receive helpful resources to navigate this new season!
Baptism
If you’ve given your life to Jesus but haven’t gone public with your story through baptism then it’s time to take that step! Mark the baptism box on your Connection Card and we’ll help you get started.

START TALKING:
What is something that one person did for you in your life that changed the trajectory of your life? It might be the reason that you have the hobby you have, your career, or your family.
How have you found yourself wanting to do for someone what that one person did for you? When have you done that?
START THINKING:
Read Matthew 18:12-14. What are other or modern day metaphors or examples of when someone might be willing to leave what they have in a safe place to go find the one thing that went missing?
What would it have communicated about the value of the missing sheep if the shepherd said, "At least I still have 99. I won't worry about the one that's lost."?
How did the shepherd know that one was missing? What would this have required of the shepherd? What does this teach us about our Father? And if we are to be like Him, what does it teach us to do?
START SHARING:
When you think about your spiritual story, who noticed that you were the one that was lost? What did they do to intentionally pursue you and seek you out so that you would come to follow Jesus?
Read Luke 15:7. What is similar about this verse and the story Jesus tells about the shepherd? How is this different than the way many Christians and even churches seem to operate? Why is this the case?
Read John 10:4 and 10:14. The lost sheep is going to respond to the shepherd when he comes searching because the sheep has a relationship with and trusts the shepherd. When you think about your own story, how was trust built with you or how was a relationship vital to you being open to hearing the story of the Gospel and responding to an invitation to Jesus?
How have you intentionally pursued and reached out to someone by first building a relationship and earning trust with them?
START DOING:
Thinking about the four steps to reaching your one, go around the microchurch and answer each of these questions:
1. Who are you going to pray for daily? What will you be praying for?
2. What will you do this week to earn their trust and build relationship with them? What needs can you meet?
3. Before inviting them to Jesus, how can you relate your own story to them?
4. What are ways that you can invite them to experience Jesus and ultimately to follow Jesus?
START PRAYING:
Pray by name for each person's "one" that was shared in the microchurch. Check in with each other throughout the week to ask how it is going and to pray for each other. Ask God right now to give each of us an awareness to see with spiritual eyes as we notice the lost sheep around us and to have the heart of God to be willing to pursue and go after those He brings to us.

Bottom Line: Do for one what one did for me.
Matthew 18:12-14 NLT“
If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them wanders away, what will he do? Won’t he leave the ninety-nine others on the hills and go out to search for the one that is lost?And if he finds it, I tell you the truth, he will rejoice over it more than over the ninety-nine that didn’t wander away!In the same way, it is not my heavenly Father’s will that even one of these little ones should perish.
1. Identify my one.
2. Intentionally pursue my one.
1. Pray daily for my one.
2. Earn trust.
3. Share my story.
4. Invite to Jesus.
