THE QUESTION: Should WMC shift to a single Sunday morning worship service for the remainder of 2018, with the expectation that numerical growth will require the addition of a second service starting in Jan. 2019? We are a family—so we’re going to talk about this as a family and discern God’s heart together.
The key to understanding the Father’s heart in this is prayer. The entire WMC family is invited into time of prayerful discernment, asking, “God what do you want to happen here?” And this particular call to those who have a prayer language: use it!
As much as possible we want to move out of revelation and not reason alone. So, the leaders of WMC are asking you to:
o Pray about this, remembering that it is not about you and it’s not about me
o Keep in mind Ephesians 4:15 “…All our direction and ministries will flow from Christ and lead us deeper into him, the anointed Head of his body, the church.”

Upside Down Kingdom

God says: 1. If you want to be great… be a servant 2. To find yourself…you must die to yourself 3. To get back at your enemy…you should love him 4. To become rich… give money away God's kingdom is an upside down kingdom! When we clothe ourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience and love…which is clothing ourselves with the person and nature of http://christ...we’re clothing ourselves for battle.
Words Create Worlds

Our words create worlds. The words we speak shape and create world we live in. Words have always created worlds. It’s true. How was our world made? Words. Ten times in the creation account of Genesis 1 we read this: “And God said…” Their impact is captured in Genesis 2:1 “Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array.” Gen. 1:28 reports that we are made in God’s image, so why should it surprise us that our words have creative power as well? God would urge us to listen to ourselves, to pay attention to the words we speak and the worlds they create.
What's the Point?

What’s the point of this – the Sunday morning church gathering that is, for many of us, a regular part of our lives? What if the point isn’t what we think it is, or is more than we imagined it is? God isn’t afraid of honest inquiry or the fierce conversation, and the answers to this question may surprise and delight us!
