An October to Remember!

Hey Midcurrent,

The calendar has officially flipped to October, and that has all of us on our toes! September has actually been an unusually momentous month, but in our first eight years as church, it has typically been the month of October that we see a real return to rhythm, routine, and reengagement at church.  So we are preparing ourselves to be the best host we can as fall continues to set in here in the St. Croix Valley.

For those of you who do settle into more of your routine this time of year, I want to give you a snapshot of the month of October here at Midcurrent.

  • Sunday, October 5–I’ll be wrapping up our series, Begin Again, exploring one final theme from the book of Deuteronomy. After church, I’ll also host the first of two October Meeting Midcurrent information sessions. If you are new to MC and want to learn more about what makes us tick, this is the place for you.

 

  • Sunday, October 12–This second weekend of October is my favorite. It’s the anniversary of the first Sunday service we ever held as a church. This year we are celebrating 8 YEARS of God’s faithfulness and leading here at Midcurrent. And every year we celebrate with baptisms. We already have 17 people who are ready to go public with their faith in Jesus and I could not be more excited. There is still time for you to sign up and take this next step in your faith too.

 

  • Sunday, October 19–We’re hosting an IF:Table for all the ladies at Midcurrent. You’ll gather with other women, share a meal, and be guided in simple conversation that will be sure to leave you feeling encouraged. Also, the week of the 19th, we’re launching small groups with some book study and Bible study options this fall. Details are on their way so make sure to stay tuned!

 

  • Tuesday, October 21Together For Good Volunteer Training. Our partnership with Together For Good is finally ready to launch. All we need now are host families and parent advocates ready to walk alongside vulnerable kids and families in their time of greatest need. Your first opportunity to attend a required volunteer training is here at Midcurrent from 5:30-9:00pm. To register, visit www.tfgood.com/wisconsin and scroll down the information section about this local training.

 

  • Saturday, October 25–Fellas, mark your calendar for a Men’s Breakfast. We’ll meet here at church for a hearty breakfast, a challenging message, and some honest conversation with other guys about following Jesus in the world today.

 

  • Tuesday, October 28–We’re experimenting with a Tuesday night   Meeting Midcurrent option. This is yet another chance for you to learn more about what God is up to at Midcurrent.

Details and registration for everything happening at MC this month can be found on the Signups tab on the Church Center app or at midcurrentchurch.org

Phew…that’s a lot. And so let me remind you– our goal isn’t to make you busy. Our goal to create spaces and opportunities for real people and a real God to meet. Hoping you’ll take advantage of one or more of these opportunities.

Thanks!
