Hey Midcurrent,

It’s hard to imagine that just seven years ago…Midcurrent Church was a group of 30 people committed to creating a different kind of church in the St. Croix Valley. God has truly done unimaginable things in those short seven years…and this Sunday we got a glimpse of it all. From 12 baptisms to the seven stories of real everyday people experiencing God in the life of our church, it was really special to celebrate SEVEN YEARS with so many of you on Sunday.

And yet, as great as all of that was, here’s what we have to remember. This is not the end. We have not crossed any sort of finish line. We have not “arrived,” nor is this the time to take our foot off of the gas pedal. I concluded our time together on Sunday with a look at the creation story in the book of Genesis. What we learned is that the seventh day was not marking the end of creation as much as it was marking the beginning of the Kingdom God would establish here on earth.

The same is true for us. Our 7th year of ministry is not marking the end of the beginning, but the beginning of the future God has in store for the life of our church and the impact we will have. And if the next chapter is going to be as fruitful and effective as the first chapter, it’s going to take a brand new commitment from all of us.

I shared a handful of practices that we need to set on repeat in our lives and in our faith. Let me highlight three in this email today.

SERVING. Now is the best time be a part of what God is doing, and we’d love to link arms with you in this next chapter. You can read a description of all our ministry teams, and sign up for one, HERE.
GIVING. In addition to a great God, we have so many of you to thank for supporting the work God has done here since 2017. If you have not yet begun a recurring giving plan to Midcurrent, can I encourage you to consider how you might take a small step to honor God with your finances and contribute regularly to His work at MC? One time and recurring gifts can be set up HERE.
CONNECTING. One of the most important activities for you to set on repeat is connecting with others here at MC in smaller groups where true vulnerability and accountability can take place. That’s what MC Circles are designed for. These seasonal, smaller sized groups are so important to our lives as Jesus followers. You can see a list of each group meeting this fall HERE.
The best is yet to come!

Thanks,
Sten
