Assurance’s Annual Fat Tuesday Supper is coming soon…Tuesday, February 17, 5pm-‐7pm. This year this event will be at the Connections Campus (6729 Old Mount Holly Road, Charlotte, NC 28214). Bring your appetite and a friend to this free, all-‐you-‐can-‐eat, fun community fellowship event. In addition to being a roaring good time, this event feeds the community by offering any donations received to go directly to the missions and ministries serving our community. As we launch our Lenten sermon series today, don’t forget that Ash Wednesday is the true beginning of this season. We will host a special service on Wednesday, February 18 at 7pm. All are invited to this powerful service of reflection and repentance at Assurance Northlake Campus.
We are excited to announce that the next Mission Guatemala trip will be August 8-‐16. Save the date and stay tuned for more details! Information sessions (no commitment required) will be held today, February 1, at 12:30pm and Wednesday, February 4 at 6:30pm in the Media Center at Northlake. Who wants to help bring the bagels back!? We need you to help us share our delicious Gathering Place bagels and juice. If you are interested in being a part of a team effort to support this ministry of hospitality, please contact Greg Tosi at [email protected].
Assurance is discerning a call to begin a backpack ministry. The Backpack ministry will provide meals and snacks for children in our area during the school year who would otherwise be hungry during the weekends. We are looking to serve five children at each of the two partner schools, Long Creek and Allenbrook Elementary Schools. We need a core Hunger Team to help make this possible. The Hunger Team will be writing requests letters for support from local businesses, organizing volunteers to pack and deliver backpacks, and arranging for pick up of food donations and delivering them to the church. If you feel God is leading you to serve in this area or have questions, please contact Pastor Daniel at [email protected] or Sherry Webb at [email protected].
Assurance is a church whose singular mission is to GROW and GO. Assurance is Growing Disciples of Jesus Christ so that we can Go serve Christ in the world. In GROWING and GOING, we emphasize three things: Spirit, Serve, and Share. We grow our Spirit in worship, prayer, and small group connections. We grow by Serving others inside and outside the walls of our church. And we Share our gifts and the Good News that God loves us all.
Current Sermon Series:
REDIRECT For years, the church has picked on 7 sins that tend to be the most destructive to the human spirit.
Interestingly enough, we find the opposite of these sins revealed in God’s character.
A new learning opportunity is happening each Wednesday after the ON THE WAY meal (around 7pm). myAssurance workshops are held in the church office for anyone that would like some assistance getting to know this system. Come by and feel free to bring your laptop or other device to get connected.
