GOD VIEW: The Connection between Initiative and God’s Character as shown through God’s Big Story
Getting started can sometimes seem like the hardest part of meeting a need. But it actually starts before then. First we have to see the needs around us. Initiative isn’t just some practical principle; it’s really a spiritual principle that starts with God. God took initiative on our behalf by seeing that our relationship was broken and needed to be fixed. So God sent Jesus to make it right. And because we are made in God’s image, we are wired to be able to take initiative and get things done too.

A: Your kid(s) start out in the Sunday morning worship service with you at 10:30 am, then right before the Pastor’s sermon each week they are dismissed to the fellowship hall. Once worship ends you will pick up your kid(s) in the fellowship hall at the end of the west hallway.
