EXPEC HE MIRACULOUS
There’s just no way to know exactly what God has in store for 
the next twenty-ve years. He’s always full of miraculous surprisesthat we could never predict. But one thing is sure…as long as westay faithful to the Mission that He has given our church (“to dowhatever it takes to connect people to Jesus”) we can expect Him toenable, equip, and empower us to accomplish it. The results will befar beyond anything we could ever imagine.
 
“  
Now to Him who is able to do above and beyond all that we ask or think - according to the power that works in you - to Him be glory in the church and  in Christ Jesus to all generations, orever and ever.” Ephesians 3:20 (HCSB)

accomplish the Mission. You don’t just want to be a passenger on this train, you need toknow where we’re going, how we’re going to get there, and to be able to plug in where you’ve been uniquely gifted.
“For the body does not consist of one member but of many. If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body. And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body…But as it is, God arranged the members in the body, each one of them, as He chose. If all were a single member, where would the body be? As it is there are many parts, yet one body.” 1 Cor 12:14-20 (ESV) 
THANKSGIVING and CHRISTMASThe next 2 months provide great opportunities to practice our Mission lifestyle. Theeconomy has opened some doors for each of us to serve people. Lots of people are hurtingthese days and don’t have anyone reaching out to them. Think about inviting someoneto share Thanksgiving dinner with this year. Invite someone to join you in some of your annual Christmas traditions. Bring a friend, co-worker, or neighbor with you to our SarasotaChristmas production, “HUMBU
G
.” Your initiative may just be what is required to promptthem to consider connecting to Jesus.
For although I am free from all people, I have made myself a slave to all, in order to win more people...I have become all things to all people, so that I may by all means save some.” 1 Corinthians 9:19, 22 (HCSB) 
 
I love being your Pastor,
 
Mike Landry
