September 24th update

Isn’t this an exciting time of year?  Summer is giving way to autumn as the leaves begin to reveal their true colors, school is back in session, we have the promise of football every weekend and around Heartland we have the fall launch of so many great ministries. 

Take a look at some of the things that are happening at Heartland right now:

We’ve already seen some exciting changes for the fall as well:

  • LAUNCH: New name, more fun!  LAUNCH: Kid’s at Heartland is the new name for the children’s ministry at Heartland.  Let me just say what a phenomenal job our entire LAUNCH volunteer team did in making the switch. The new branding is fun, exciting, and matches our mission perfectly for the ministry because we want to help launch our kids on their spiritual journey.  

Let me also just highlight a couple things that are still to come:

  • Grouplink: If you’re not currently in a Growth Group or are looking to change groups this fall Grouplink is a great way to get plugged in! Growth Groups are one of the best ways to get connected and grow in your spiritual journey as you talk about the weekend teaching and how it applies to your life with a small group of people. Grouplink happens at Heartland this coming Sunday, (the 27th) from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. You can register online for Grouplink at www.heartland.cc. And if you need someone to watch your kids during the event, you can register for KidCare online as well.
  • Family Fusion: Family Fusion is Heartland’s brand new Family Ministry that happens every Tuesday in October. Each week there will be great music, teaching, interactive games and activities for parents and kids to do together, all of which are designed to build your families relationship with God and each other.

The Family Fusion team has put together an incredible first season called “Extreme Makeover: Family Edition.” Check out the titles of each week:
Week 1:  Well-built Walls
Week 2:  Raise the Roof
Week 3:  Wide Open Windows
Week 4:  Room by Room

Family Fusion is FREE, but we need you to register. You can do that either online by using the event registration on the Sun Prairie campus page of the website or by calling 608.834.1900. KidCare is available for your kids age 2 and under.

Let me encourage you to make Family Fusion a high priority for your family. As a young dad who’s had a sneak peek at each of the four topics being covered, I couldn’t think of a better way for you to spend 1 hour a week for four weeks with your family. I truly believe the benefits will last for years.

Overall, let me just say how excited I am by everything that God is doing in and through us as a church. I know that “greater things are yet to come,” and it’s the adventure of my lifetime to get to do this with all of you. Thanks for making Heartland an inclusive, fun environment;  continue inviting your friends and family! We have a truly transformational series coming up in October around relationships and marriage called Explicit Lyrics, which will be the perfect time to bring others with you!

On Vision weekend I shared a desire to increase communication with those in the church who wanted to stay up to date on all that God is doing in and through us. As part of that desire, I will be frequently posting updates to this website; many times going into more detail than we have time for in a Sunday morning announcement. Sign up if you would like to receive an automatic email that lets you know when I’ve posted an update.
