MINISTRY UPDATE FROM ANDY LIIMATTA 906-236-9219

Do You Have a Minute?

During the first month of school we will have
two evangelism campaigns on campus. During
the first we will be asking students what crucial
relationships they want to begin this fall. After
choosing from a list of choices on our colorful
displays they will be lead into conversations
about the good and bad of relationships and
what a relationship with Jesus looks like.
The Bucket campaign will travel around to each
of the schools in the upper peninsula where we
will be helping students think about how their
bucket lists relate to the bigger picture of a fulfilling connection to God and what God invites us
to be concerned with.

Act-ing Up
Our weekly campus-wide meetings and
small groups will be focusing on the
book of Acts this semester. We are
hoping to be shaped and grown in the
topics of witness, expanding growth,
multi-ethnic ministry, and Spirit directed community.
