THE TOP 3:

What You Need to Know This Week

• All Member Meeting: April 21st at 7pm we will be meeting as the body of Mars Hill Church to connect on the mission and vision of the church. (See also “Call To Mission” in Announcements, below.)
• The City has arrived in West Seattle! The City is a new way for church members to network with each other in a way that reflects real life instead of replacing it like other social networking sites. New users must be invited by current users, so talk to your community group leaders or service leads to get plugged in. For more information about The City, read Nate Ellis’ recent blog or check out the Codex blog from the IT ministry.

  

• Call to Mission is what we are calling our campaign to revamp the membership of Mars Hill Church. This includes a new membership class (Doctrine: What Christians Should Believe), new “member” site (The City), and the upcoming All-Member Meeting (Monday, April 21st). Mars Hill has undergone a massive reorganization over the last year and this is one of the final components. This will include wiping the membership slate of Mars Hill clean and then calling those that are on mission with Jesus to re-commit to a campus of MHC (or commit for the first time for new members). We are praying that this will result in a new membership, 3,000 strong, on mission with Jesus in Seattle. This process will be fully articulated at the April 21st Member Meeting, but you can follow this link for more information.
