THE ALPHA COURSE
2024-09-26 18:00 - 20:00
The Alpha Course is returning! Tuesdays starting 9/26!

What is Alpha? Alpha is a series of conversations about things we all question in life: Why do bad things happen to good people? What’s the purpose of life? What’s next? It’s for those exploring Jesus, for those who are skeptical, for those who want to be refreshed. It is an 8 week course, but you are welcome to come to the first gathering to check it out, no commitment required. This is a great community to invite friends who are exploring faith — all questions welcomed If you’re looking for a judgment-free space to ask hard questions, share your own opinion, or even just observe, there’s a place for you. And more than that — dinner is included! Sign up here.

24 HOURS OF PRAYER
2024-08-16 17:00 - 2024-08-17 18:00
In lead up to our 10AM preview service, we are going to pray for 24 hours straight. We’ve done this in the past — but we are going to do it a little bit different this time. Instead of gathering at ELC, this will be a decentralized 24 hours of prayer. This means people will sign up for a slot to pray and pray from the own homes, or walking in their neighborhoods, or wherever the Lord leads them.

But we’ll start and end together: we will begin the 24 hours with a gathering for prayer on Friday, 8/16 from 5-6PM at the Mission House: 505 Chabot Ave. We will end our time by gathering at the MJC campus Recital Hall for prayer from 4-5PM on Saturday evening.

No experience necessary — we learn to pray by praying. Enjoy some time with the LORD and pray for his kingdom to come and his will to be done in Modesto as in heaven. More details and resources will be provided once you sign up.

Linger Worship and Prayer

Radiant Town Hall Meeting
2024-06-23 18:00 - 19:00
It looks like we have an opportunity to rent space at MJC’s recital hall for a morning worship service later this summer and fall. We are curious about how this might open some new possibilities for us as we pursue our mission of making more disciples of Jesus who practice his simple way.

Of course, we want to get a sense of the congregation’s thoughts, preferences, and openness to serve as we consider this and the multiple options before us.

I’m sure you have a lot of questions. So do we! A couple of things to help get the conversation rolling:1) Please fill out this survey. This will really help us get a pulse on where people are at. 2) Plan on attending our “town hall” meeting on Sunday June 23 following our worship service where we will present the vision behind this possible move, hash out some details, and have an opportunity for questions and discussion.
