JANUARY 19TH, 2025
JEWISH TABERNACLE
Pastor Dave Anderson, Lead Pastor
Pastor Jenna Luoto, Spiritual Formation Pastor
ONU Pastoral Ministry Interns: Braden Sackett, Gracie Amburgey, Savannah White, Jordan Warren
In the Old Testament, the Tabernacle was the dwelling place of God, built to His specifciations, where He would meet with His people, the Israelites. As they entered the Tabernacle, they passed through seven stations, following God's instructions, to experience His presence. Today, even though we no longer need the physical Tabernacle to meet with God, these same steps can help us onnect with Him. In our service this week, we will use this prayer model to take us through each station of the Tabernacle and use the purpose of each station to guide our prayers.
LIFETRACK STEP 3: FIND FREEDOM
12:00 PM in ROOM 109 | Lunch and Childcare provided
No matter where you are at on your journey, Lifetrack is the FIRST step that we encourage you to participate in here at Kankakee First Church. This is where you will learn about WHO we are as a church, WHAT we believe, and HOW we are structured to help you along your spiritual journey. Lifetrack is a four-step process that helps you discover your redemptive purpose and live the life God created for you. You will learn more about who we are as a church and who God has created you to be.

OuTREACH OPPORTUNITIES
Join a group that serves at the Agape Community Outreach Mission Food Pantry
Join our Dare to Care group that serves at the Center of Hope food pantry. Contact Marcia Ledyard marcia.ledyard@gmail.com
At K1, we are committed to sharing the good news of Jesus with a world who does yet know him. We believe that the most effective way to do that is through "relational evangelism" - building relationships with lost people in our lives by Beginning with Prayer (Praying for them), Listening (Really listening), Eating (Sharing meals with them), Serving (showing up in meaningful ways, without limits), and Sharing our Story (The ways that God has shown up in our lives).
As we live this out, we want to hear stories of how this B.L.E.S.S. way of living is happening in your life!
