Hello Metro Family,

We are continuing to serve our community during 2019 and we hope you'll join us as we form connections with our neighbors. Our monthly service projects generally focus on one event (soup kitchen, Metro card giveaway, grocery card giveaway, etc.) and take place after the 11:45 a.m. service.  We also have a spring and fall Beyond the Walls activity, where we have an abbreviated 11:45 a.m. service, and offer multiple service opportunities for the congregation to assist with.  In addition to our church-wide projects, our young adults, youth and children also have specific outreach activities they will participate in during the year.  And finally - each month we will continue to list our Personal Service Challenges - we ask you to choose five items from the month's list that you can do personally for people with whom you come in contact.

Below is a description of upcoming service projects, as well as the monthly personal service challenges.

A very happy new year to you, Metro church family!  We wish you God's richest blessings during 2019.

We also want to invite you to consider how you can connect with our church this year.  As you know, our ministries depend on the availability of volunteers to run successful programs.  Unfortunately, many of our departments have seen their staff shrink, and only a few people are helping to share the load.

This is where you come in!  We need your help - we'd like you to volunteer to serve with at least one department during 2019.  If you've served before and took a break, break time is over!  We need you back!  :-)  If you've never served, and are unsure about where you'd like to help, or you aren't even sure what volunteer opportunities exist for you, we've got you covered!

Hello youth, young adults and the young at heart!  We wish you a very happy 2019, and want to provide assistance in helping you start the year off with consistent Bible study.  Pastor Smith will be hosting a Wednesday evening Bible study called Life Guide - Decisions in the sanctuary at 7:30 p.m.  We start on Wednesday, January 2!  The meetings will run for one-hour (we are resolving to be respectful of your time this year).  Each attendee will receive a study folder that will be updated each week with new study material.  We will learn how to seek God's guidance, and grow a deeper relationship wtih Him.  Sounds exciting?  Then please tell and bring a friend!

2019 is here!  Listen as Pastor Kinlock recaps Metro's 2018 and invites you to participate with us during 2019!
