Remember GX: Happy Golden Week

October 1 is the anniversary of the People’s Republic of China (PRC), the nation of China as we know today.

Some believers in GX may find it challenging to navigate love of country and love for JC.

One Sunday this year, after hearing a strong view against love of nation, one GX sister felt torn and confused: How do I follow JC while I love my nation?

This sister left that club and found fellowship with a civil servant who is faithful to JC and invests whole-heartedly in their country.

I urge you, first of all, to pr for all people. Ask G to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them.

Pray this way for kings and all who are in authority so that we can live peaceful and quiet lives marked by godliness and dignity. 1 Tim 2:1-2

Ask that GX believers intercede and give thanks for their leaders and nation. Ask for GX believers to have Spirit-led wisdom and boldness as they live for JC in China.

Godly Play

This Sunday we are having a family service and trying something new. Rather than our usual singing and sermon, we will still worship through song but then at tables prepared for us, work in groups on Jesus’ “I am” statements, creatively imaging the scenes and thinking about how they can be used to share the good news with our neighbors. The fun kicks off at 10 am, 515 W Valley PKWY in Escondido.

All-Church Prayer | Tonight, Tuesday, September 24, 6:30 pm. We will be meeting at the Escondido Columbus Club for prayer for the church, our community, the mission and the kingdom. No small groups tonight, come to prayer. Becca has volunteer to watch the kiddos during prayer.

Argentina | Char is heading to Argentina to do ministry on a short-term trip. Come Sunday to hear more and pray for Char as we commission her to go.
