This Week at Living Word: First Steps & Missions

This Sunday, we were reminded that God's steadfast love is the foundation of everything we do as a church. As we gathered for worship, we reflected on our desire to be "the smallest big church"—a community where people are seen, named, and known as we grow together in following Jesus.

If you're new to Living Word, we invited you to take your next step by connecting with us and learning more about our church through our upcoming First Steps class. This class is a great opportunity to discover our mission, values, ministries, and practical ways to become part of the life of our church family.

We were also encouraged to continue building meaningful relationships beyond Sunday mornings. Whether reconnecting with family after the holiday weekend or intentionally reaching out to friends and neighbors, we were challenged to live out God's love through genuine community throughout the week.

As the service concluded, we prayed over two mission teams being sent out to serve both locally through Impacting York Week and internationally in Ethiopia. We celebrated their willingness to follow God's call and asked Him to use them to bring hope, encouragement, and the love of Christ to everyone they encounter.

Finally, we closed with an invitation for anyone needing prayer to meet with our prayer team. Whether you're facing illness, relationship struggles, or simply longing for hope, you're never alone. We would love to pray with you as together we continue saying yes to Jesus and becoming more like Him.
