Men's Ministry Interest

Many men are carrying things they don’t often have space to talk about—faith, pressure, relationships, purpose, struggles, growth. Pathways is exploring a renewed vision for men’s ministry that creates meaningful spaces for connection, prayer, encouragement, accountability, and spiritual formation. Rather than a one-size-fits-all weekly program, we’re considering a mix of gatherings, from small roster cohorts that run 4-6 weeks long, mentoring relationships, and relational opportunities that fit different seasons and needs. Use the link provided to share your interest. Whether you’d simply participate, invite others, or help shape what comes next, we’d love to hear from you.

The Weekly Offering Moment

We offer a weekly Offering Moment for your spiritual growth. Are you, like so many of us, caught in the accidental idolatry of money? Will you engage weekly in the spiritual act of fighting that idolatry by thanking God, the true source of all of our resources?  God promises that a freedom from idolatry of any kind can be a life filled with fullness and joy and love and freedom. He invites you into this life of giving generously. Will you consider a spiritual act of generosity? Please use the link below and select "General Fund."

GIFT OF GRACE

Takeaway Point 1:
God refuses worship that ignores others’ needs.
Takeaway Point 2:
It’s not about earning God’s attention.
It’s about joining in with what He’s doing in the world today.
Takeaway Point 3:
God calls his people to become repairers.

The Water4 Model (video)

Government Support & Charities can only meet 25% of the need. Businesses have to close the gap, especially businesses that are reinvested into that local community for their ownership and ongoing operation.
Water4's model is closing that gap.
Fast. Lasts. Multiplies.

SHARE HIS LOVE (Hymn 567)
Pathways Choir and Congregation
hey
Benediction: Hebrews 13:16

Most of us will never meet the children, parents, farmers, teachers, or clinic workers who may drink this water.

But the people of God have never only loved the neighbors whose names we know.

We love because God first loved us.

We repair because Christ has repaired us.

We open our hands because Jesus opened his life for the world.

And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.

Go, and be the Church.
