OUR CABLE PRACTICES
The five practices below serve as guidelines for a way of life
that best helps us live in and share the kingdom of God.
îî Care for the poor and the vulnerable.
îî Acknowledge our journey with one another.
îî Bless our world with contagious love and grace.
îî Listen for God’s voice and learn from His Word.
îî Eat with others outside our normal social circle.
THE STORY FORMED WAY
9 Wednesdays starting September 25
We all love a good story. Stories captivate our attention
and reveal truths that we may otherwise have missed.
Just as stories are filled with excitement, conflict and new
discoveries, our lives are also stories. As we live out our
own stories, we may wonder how it fits within the larger
story; God’s Story. Beginning Wednesday, September 25,
from 7–8:30pm we’ll begin a new chapter together called
Story Formed Way. Over this 10 week journey, through
interaction, questions and dialogue, we will take a fresh
look at some of the stories found in the Scriptures and
allow them to shape our lives For information, contact
Mary at mary@engedichurch.com for questions or RSVP at

you been praying to God for your next steps? During the Hope College Fall Break,
Elevate will offer our first immersion trip to Chicago. We’ll hear the stories of
victims of human trafficking. We’ll talk with folks who are active in fighting
against human trafficking in downtown Chicago as we ask the question, “what can
I do to help?”. Contact Jeff at jeff@engedichurch.com for more information.
SMILE!
Do you love smiling? Think you’re pretty good at shaking hands? If yes, you should join
the greeting team! As we move into the new building (September 29), we need your
