On this the last day of 2015 many of us will take a moment to look back on the year. The ups and downs, highs and lows. For us at Rise it has been a year we will never forget. A year of extreme challenge, and extreme faith, followed by incredible miracles. It's been a year of pioneering! Walking in obedience on the path God has set out before us. Together we are learning what it means to be the church, and together we are building a community that loves and serves God, as we love and serve people.
This Christmas is extra special for us because it is our FIRST as a church family! As we celebrate all the Lord has done over the past 9 months, we also celebrate all he did 2,000 years ago, when the greatest love story first began. When God the Father sent His one and only son to live among us, bringing the very Kingdom of Heaven to the earth. We have reason to celebrate!
It’s Time to Pioneer! Join us this weekend as we celebrate our first Sunday at Pioneer Middle School. This weekend is an important milestone for us and I want to take a moment to remember what God spoke into our hearts those precious first days. Here are some excerpts from our very first posts...
