Family Day

From Jessica Gunkel:

We celebrate "Family Day" on August 22nd, the day we flew home with Jadon from Guatemala on the day he turned 7 months old. We call it "Family Day" because it is the day we celebrate adoption and the day we became a family! We celebrate by focusing on Guatemala and Jadon. The day usually consists of learning about Guatemalan culture, going to a Guatemalan restaurant in town, going mini-golfing (Jadon's choice) and giving Jadon one of the 18 gifts we bought for this day while we were in the country finalizing his adoption. We have been blessed so much by adoption and LOVE celebrating together what it means to our family!!

What are we doing now?

The birth of the early church is our story. This is where we came from, and it is where we are going. It is the story of how we are called to reach out, and how we are called to come together. In this study, Called and Sent: A Study of the Book of Acts, we will read through the entire book of Acts and discover God’s big plan for His church then and now.

Watch the gospel grow legs and walk around. Watch the early Church figure things out, learn how to love each other in community, and discover how to resolve legitimate conflicts with care. See how they give their lives in faith for Jesus – the Man they watched, with their very own eyes – live, die, rise, and ascend into heaven. The Man they knew, beyond a shadow of a doubt, really is the Son of God.
