Churches and families are in a cycle of not successfully passing down faith to the next generation.

You are invited to an event at the

Mesa Church of Christ

More than two-thirds of youth who faithfully attend church growing up, reject faith just a couple of years after high school. That is shocking! Even though we are facing a huge problem, we stand in a unique position to offer a real solution to a problem of this magnitude. We need our whole congregation to rally in this plan to battle the deterioration of faith in this generation.

April 22nd Sermon: Unbelief in the Church

Many young people today are walking away from their faith and our church and our families are in a unique position to prevent it.

April 29th – Joel Singleton Speaking

9:30 am Class

All adult classes will be combined to talk about how Imparting Faith really works. We will give out "Imparting Faith Blueprint" books outlining the plan and resources to help everyone in our congregation implement this plan in their home.

10:30 am Sermon: Imparting Faith

Where did you learn faith? Can you share your faith with others?

5:00 pm Discussion: How Can I Pass Down Faith?

Whether you have children or not, we all have a role in passing down faith. We will discuss how you can pass your faith to others.

May 6th Sermon: Who is my Family?

We can all be a resource for families and children to grow up believing in God. We can be the example they follow.

Imparting Faith Blueprint:

The "Imparting Faith" book serves as a guide to show how to implement faith in your family within this culture. This is not just for the traditional two-parent families. It applies to everyone, whether you are single with no kids, divorced, have a blended family or are a grandparent with lots of grandchildren.

This is a pivotal moment in our culture where the church and home have the opportunity to recapture the youth of this generation. We must plan ahead, stay disciplined, and work together.

On Sunday evening January 22nd at 5:00pm MYG and 4Sixteen will be hosting worship service. We encourage all family circles to come to the building that evening to support, encourage, and watch the young men as they lead us in worship.

4Sixteen is hosting a garage sale this Saturday 21st. The garage sale will start at 7:00 at the building. Come out and see what we got! All money raised will be going toward funding the mission trip to Mexico/Guatemala. You can't miss us. We will be out on the corner of Dana and Stapley in the west parking lot.

We also are accepting donations for the garage sale on Friday evening (20th) from 5:00pm to 9:00 pm here at the building. So, clean out your closets and bring all of your old treasures to us. Tell your friends, neighbors, coworkers, and family.

Can you believe that it is already December 15th? The last month of the year is now half over. I am always amazed at how fast the month of December moves. I am so busy working, making plans to see family, writing cards, and buying gifts that I seem to just fly through the month.

It seems like it is the same for the church. We have so many big events coming up this next week. We have the big Christmas party and then we have a shower and wedding for two of our members. We have so many great classes going on too! I am teaching the life of Christ (in chronological order) up in the 4Sixteen room and am loving every minute of it. I can't wait to get to the next Sunday so that I can continue the class. You probably have your favorite classes and events going on too.

With the wind down of 2011 it also means that a new year is approaching us. For the church that means that we are going to introduce the vision for 2012. This year marks the start of a brand new tradition here at Mesa. Starting in 2012, each year we will presenting the vision for the new year. So on 1/1/2012 we are going to have an elder come speak to your class for one week. The elder assigned to your class is going to present the church's vision for 2012! I hope you are as excited as I am! What does this mean for you? Well, go to the class that you normally go to but make sure that you are on time so that you get to hear everything that the elders are going to be presenting. The only exception to this rule is the library class. The library class should go to room 104. The five elders will each be assigned one of the normal adult classrooms but they will all be presenting the exact same things so it doesn't matter which class you are in. Below is the schedule.

1. 4Sixteen (Room 214) – James Koenig
2. Room 104 – Ken Fox
3. Room 105 – Kevin Hubby
4. Auditorium – Jackie Hinkle
5. Annex – Jack Farr

The best part is that this is not a one-way lecture. The title of this post is CONVERSATION with the elders! Yes, they will be presenting the Vision of 2012 but they WANT your feedback. That is the main reason that we have the elders spread out in different classrooms so that as many questions and comments can be made as possible. In order to make sure that everyone in the class has an opportunity to ask their question or comment we simply ask that you keep your question short and to the point. You asked for this class in your survey and we are now delivering it to you! When we as one unified body, with the help and blessing of our Lord, make a plan their is nothing that can stand in our way (Gen. 11:6).

I hope everyone is looking forward to our upcoming bible classes next quarter for the Youth & Family. Jack Farr will be teaching and the audience will be the youth and their parents! This will be the first class for the MYG teens and their parents! I am excited about the future of this ministry and I hope you are as well. Let's get the word out to all the parents of our youth so they can make sure to attend. More details to come soon!

We just finished a great summer Bible class quarter and our education coordinators want to know what you thought about it. You can give your honest constructive criticism of the classes and teachers by taking the following survey. It should only take about 10 minutes of your time. However, it will go a long way in helping us to prepare better classes for the future.

Welcome to the brand new mesachurch.org! This site is the culmination of several months of very hard work.
