PURPOSE
But how can they call on Him to save them unless they believe in Him? And how can they believe in Him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about Him unless someone tells them? And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent? That is why the Scriptures say, “How beautiful are the feet of the messengers who bring good news!” -Romans 10:14-15
Tuesday Night Bus Ministry
The Inner City Bus Ministry kicks off Tuesday September 13th. The bus ministry is a program for inner city kids ages 4-12. We meet at the Inner City Church at 6:30, load the buses, pick the kiddos up and take them back to the inner city for classes and fun together. At 7:45 we load back up and take the kids home. This is a great opportunity to hang out and be a light to kids who need it. We need people to ride the buses, assist with class and snacks, and just be there to help with crowd control. If you’d like to help out email Dianna at for more details.
Tutors needed for Learning Center
The Inner City Church is also looking for tutors for the Learning Center for the 2011-2012 school year. The learning center begins September 12th, it is for grades 1st-12th. It runs Monday-Thursday 4:30pm-6:00pm, but you can show up a little early and help with games and snacks if you can. If you’d like to help with the learning center you can email or call (256) 539-0712
Do Something
When looking through the gospels we see Jesus regularly use the words “go”, “spread”, and “do”. This is what we want to challenge our teens with: to Do Something. Not to merely be content with just following Jesus, but to do something that makes a difference. In fact if you read the words of Jesus, following and doing go hand in hand. You can’t fully follow Jesus unless you are willing do the will of God (Matthew 7:21).
Heading into our month of focusing on service, we have compiled a list of tasks that we want to challenge our teens to take part in. They are small challenges that won’t require a whole lot, but with all of us participating with have an enormous impact.

Illuminate
For God, who said, “Let there be light in the darkness,” has made this light shine in our hearts so we could know the glory of God that is seen in the face of Jesus Christ
