Bulletin – Jan 17th
Together with all of our Staff and Leadership Team, I am delighted to welcome all those who are becoming members of MGA today. This is the beginning of a new year of ministry for each of you!
We are more than blessed with the pastoral staff God has given to serve this church. Tonight, you will hear the heartbeat of one of these servants of God, in the person of Pastor Phil Sovdi. Phil and his family are a great blessing to us all. We are grateful for the past 4.5 years that he has served as the Equipping Pastor of this church. Many of you can appreciate the gifts that Pastor Phil brings to the spiritual and relational lives of so many.
Relationship month: We are excited about a great new adventure coming our way: the 40 day Love Dare for Couples will begin on Sunday, Feb 7th. We invite every married, co-habiting, or engaged man and woman to register for this 40 day journey. This adventure is for all who desire a new level of loving in your relationship with your partner. Watch the clip today, and plan to join the journey on Feb. 7th!
~Pastor Glen
