The First Quarter

Chapel Next has now officially kicked off! If I can continue the football metaphor then, we are now in the first quarter, and the game is going well. We've seen many new players on the team in the past two weeks, attendance has steadily increased, and people are getting involved in the vision to reach the Next generation of Soldiers and Families on Fort Carson.

What's the 'gameplan' for this first quarter?

Eyes on the Prize - We'll keep an unwavering focus on our purpose for existing - taking the Next step in an ever-deepening relationship with Jesus Christ. Like a football team tries to move yard by yard toward the goal, God wants to transform us step by step into more Christ-like people who show His glory, love and grace to the world around us.

Teamwork - We want to continue to build a Chapel Community, not just hold a Chapel Service. We'll be starting a new small group or two in the next month and continuing to hold fellowship events after the service, so that we can build life-long, genuine personal relationships.

Recruitment - A large part of our goal is to reach single Soldiers. We will continue to become the contemporary and cutting-edge chapel community on Fort Carson, and will begin some intentional efforts to involve and support our single Soldiers.

Once again, we invite you to join us. We can't promise you that the 'game' of life will be easy, but we can promise that as we take the Next step with Christ together, God will provide the victory!

I don't think we reminded everyone to Fall Back! But, it is definitely this Saturday evening...So maybe we could post that to the website!
