On the heels of Resurrection its tempting to think that we are now left on our own to figure out the Christian Life. However, the Bible shows us that the resurrected Jesus still pursues us, still teaches us, and still leads us in living lives that practice resurrection.

Jesus is alive. This news and its outcome defines Missio Dei. Because of Jesus’ birth, life, death and resurrection we are reconciled to the Father and stand before him confidently.

Jesus gathers his disciples together for one last meal. A meal where he will teach, prophesy of, and embody the gospel. Its a meal where he will ask them to not just be students but messengers of his ministry. Its where he initiates the new covenant where through Jesus sin will be remembered now more.

Elephant Room: starts March 27th
Calling all theology enthusiasts, Bible geeks, or anyone who has thoughts and questions about the Bible, and wants to grow in that knowledge.  Starting on Tuesday, March 27th (and continuing on the last Tuesday of every month) we will be gathering once a month to discuss specific topics within Christianity, where we get the practices we practice, and why we live our lives the way we do.  We will first watch a video debate from a conference called the Elephant Room.  We will then moderate our own discussion on the same topic.  We will hold it at the Missio Dei Community Space starting at 7pm and anyone is welcome to come.  We will have coffee and water, but if you want to bring food feel free to pack it in.  Here is a link to check out the Elephant Room videos and what it is all about – http://vimeo.com/21069804.  If you have any questions please email kyle@missiodeislc.com.

Haiti Prayer and Discussion: March 29th
Thanks to all who have participated and prayed with us as we continue our journey towards engagement with the country of Haiti.  Anyone interested in praying through and discussing our next steps is invited to join us at the Hillcrest space at 6: 30 PM Thursday, March 29th.

Baptisms: April 8th
Throughout the history of the Christian Church, Baptism has been one of the most universally accepted practices, almost always understood as being connected with the beginning of the Christian life. It is a symbol of our being united with Christ in his death and resurrection. If you have committed yourself to following Jesus and have not yet responded to his call to be baptized, we encourage you to take part in the baptism this coming Easter. (Sunday, April 8th)  If you are interested in being baptized or have any questions please talk to your house church leader or feel free to email kyle@missiodeislc.com.

Baby Dedications: April 8th
Also on Easter, we will have Baby Dedications as an opportunity for parents to commit themselves to raising their children in the grace and knowledge of the Lord. Dedicating your child to God is a public sign that you are seeking to bring your children up in the ways of Christ, and as a community we stand with you in that passion.  If you’d like to dedicate your child or have any questions please email stefanie@missiodeislc.com or kyle@missiodeislc.com.

Jesus pursues us first. Luke 15 paints him as one who would take desperate measures to find a sheep gone astray.
