Let’s Get Ready For Operation Invite To Impact. On Your Mark, Get Set, Go…Starting This Week, Begin Praying This Prayer: Lord, give me the Strength and Courage to Share With Family and Friends My God Story (of Your Grace, Goodness, and Generosity In My Life) and Invite Them To Mount Jezreel. In Jesus’ Name, Amen!

Beginning March 2nd, you are encouraged to bring a maximum of 3 people with you to worship who are unchurched, church hurt, and or looking for a church family to connect with. Everyone is asked to participate in Operation Invite to Impact.

Join Us for our Lenten Fast Ash Wednesday (March 5) through Resurrection Sunday (April 20)! During this time, we will pray for 3 minutes daily. Our prayer time should be uninterrupted. We will also intentionally invite 3 people (unchurched and/or church hurt) to worship with us. Lastly, we will specifically fast and subtract 3 things that we feel we have to have from our lives. Fasting is our way of showing God that He means more and is a spiritual discipline for disciples of Jesus Christ.
