THE MERGE
What’s up Mergers!
Hopefully you’re being safe out there. This snow has been crazy this week. Just remember to take it slow and get to your destinations safely. You may be the greatest driver to ever sit behind the wheel of the car, but you can’t control the people around you so keep your wits about you on the road.
Well, we’re two weeks into 2011 and the Merge is wasting no time. We’re on the move! As we speak, your Merge leaders (aptly dubbed “The Board”) are hard at work planning events and conferences for us. They’re putting together strategies to grow our ministry and diversify it so that it touches our entire generation regardless of what stage you are in life; because we all know that between the ages of 18-35 there are many varying needs and interests. Our goal is cater to as many of them as possible so that all in our generation can be blessed by our ministry. So stay tuned! And as always, we want to hear from you. No one knows your needs better than you so the only way we can make sure the ministry is effectively touching everyone is if you tell us. We are always looking for comments, suggestions, or any other input you may have that will help to improve the ministry
We’re swiftly approaching Merge Sunday!!! We are all excited for the first Merge Sunday of the year. It is sure to be a blessed experience. We will definitely be in the building! Of course our worshipers will be in place, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. We have a strong Merge presence throughout the congregation and beyond the confines of New MT. Moriah, many of whom will be with us as well. Following the 10:00 service we will be hanging out together in the fellowship hall. Our amazing kitchen staff will have food for us! There will also be music. Rumor has it that our fellow Mergers, Tony and Aaron Jackson have a couple hustles to teach us. So don’t miss out. We’re starting the year off with a bang!
The Friday following Merge Sunday, Jan. 28th, will be our Midnight Oil. For those who don’t know, Midnight Oil is a time when we come together as a ministry to pray and seek the face of God concerning our generation. It is a very powerful time. We take time for individual prayer and corporate prayer so that no stone is left unturned and we can cast all our personal and corporate cares on the Lord. So please join us at New Mt. Moriah at 11:30pm as we continue to set the tone for 2011.
The very next day, Jan. 29th, we’ll be heading to downtown Rochester for the Fire & Ice festival. There will be fireworks, carriage rides, ice sculptures, ice skating, a soup cook off, the list goes on and on! A small caveat, for the ice skating and figure skating demo you have to bring your own skates. Or perhaps you could strap a couple butter knives to the bottom of your shoes and get it in (food for thought). The best part about it is this event is free! That’s right, FREE (let me say that in Spanish, Gratis!). If you need a ride we’ll be meeting at the church at 5:30 and getting there around 6. If not, you can just meet us there. Can’t wait! Please reply to this email and let us know if you are going to attend so we can plan accordingly.
Again, continue to be safe out there this week. Remember to set your expectations high for 2011. We are definitely doing big things this year. The building blocks are already being set in place and we can't wait to see the promises of God come to pass for us as the year unfolds.
God bless,
The Merge
