Fall Ministry Preview
Summer’s winding down, the school year is around the corner, and with that, its time to share a preview of what we have in store for Fall Ministry here at The Mission Cincinnati!
1) Ephesians Preaching Series – Sundays 8/20 – 10/29 – God has done AMAZING things for us in Jesus! Things that totally transform our identity and can change the way we see the world and live our lives. Join us this Fall as we study the Apostle Paul’s letter to the Christians in Ephesus to learn about all the things Jesus has done for us in Christ that give us a new identity as His people in the church, and transform the way we live our lives as a part of God’s One New Humanity in Christ.
2) Pathways | Heartbeat & Anglican 101 Cohort – 9 Sundays from 11 AM – 12:30 PM starting Sunday 9/10 – New to the Mission? You’re invited to be a part of our Fall Heartbeat & Anglican 101 Cohort which will introduce you to our church’s vision, mission, values, and the distinctives of our Anglican Heritage. All of this is done in community so that participants make real friendships, even as you have opportunities to take next steps into Belonging, Growing, Serving and Going here. Childcare is offered free of charge for all sessions of Heartbeat & Anglican 101.
3) Regional Small Groups – Launching first week in October! – In the Fall & Spring, we gather in homes across our city for hospitality, food, spiritual conversation based on the previous Sundays’ sermon, and prayer. Check out the full list of our 4 regional groups for the fall:
4) Baptisms & Renewal of Baptismal Vows – Sunday, November 5th in worship – Twice per year, we offer the sacrament of baptism for infants and children of members as well as adults professing faith in Jesus for the first time. We also offer the opportunity to renew your baptismal vows in worship. Renewal of Vows is for those who may have been baptized as a child, but for whom faith in Jesus is become real for the first time in adulthood. Our pastors want to support and prepare those plan to participate in either of these rites. If you’re interested in being baptized, having your children baptized, or renewing your baptismal vows in worship, please fill out the baptism registration form below and a pastor will be in touch soon
5) Confirmation During Bishop Mark’s Visit – Sunday, November 12th in worship – Our bishop Mark Engel will be visiting The Mission Cincinnati on Sunday, November 12th. As a part of his visit, we invite those who have completed Pathways to be confirmed. Confirmation is a sacramental rite that is sometimes called “a lay ordination.” In confirmation the bishop prays for you to receive the Holy Spirit and His gifts for ministry, while formally welcoming you into the Anglican Church. As with baptism, our pastors want to intentionally prepare and support our confirmands. If you are interested in being confirmed, please fill out the confirmation registration form below, and Rev. Kristen will be in touch soon.
6) Serve Team Trainings – Serving is a great way to get involved, advance the mission of our church, and make friends with others at The Mission. We have multiple Sunday service teams at The Mission and all of them could use your help! Interested in joining a serve team? Fill out the interest form below and one of our leaders will be in touch to make sure you’re included in an upcoming training!
