Brian Musser – March 21st

// March 18th, 2010 // No Comments » // Church News

Have you ever wondered how can we reach this generation? How do we live missionally in a world gone wrong? Can a church actually serve a campus? What would it look like?  Brian is one of the most gifted campus ministers in America.  His ministry has both impacted a multi-cultural generation  in an urban campus community as well as helping the church to shape its ability to serve.  We invite you to join us to two very powerful messages Sunday 10:30 Am at our Wallingford campus and at 6:00 Pm at Widener University

IS GOD CALLING US TO SERVE OTHERS & TO LIVE AS MISSIONARIES?

That’s a loud yes!  Noon Saturday, we kick off our new study series EPOCH.

Our University City gathering is in transition the next few months as we prepare to move to a new time, day and location in June. We will share more details in weeks to come.  But we invite you to pray for rain as we seek to expand the Kingdom.

Saturday Noon @ University City is a breakfast gathering of Drexel University students as well as people who live in the University city community. All are welcome.  The gathering includes Coffee, Juice, Bagels & Muffins… followed by Worship, Prayer and a Interactive Message where you get to stop me (PC) and ask questions as I teach… this leads to  some great discussions!

This week our bread supply is limited to 10 trays of bread, bagels and muffins down from our normal 30 trays. It is important to make every item count.The priority drops are Chestnut Ridge, Delaware County Pregnancy Center, Drexel and Widener University students. If you know of a person in need please communicate to us immediately so we can set aside food items for you.
