March Mission Madness was a wonderful weekend for all who participated. We were able to repair homes and do various “small” things that people could not do for themselves. We were the hands and feet of Christ in the community. Here’s a link to an article in the Augusta Chronicle that mentions March Mission Madness and explains what kind of things two hundred youth and fifty leaders across Georgia united to accomplish: Augusta Chronicle MMM.

God Story
Good stories capture our hearts and minds, informing us and forming us simultaneously. It’s no surprise that one of Jesus’ favorite ways to communicate was story-telling. Over the next couple months during Sunday school we will reencounter the most significant stories of the Bible and will learn that our story is deeply connected to these stories of God and His people. If you miss any of our Sunday morning conversations, you can keep up by clicking on the link to that week’s video.

What is the Well?
The Well is a safe place where believers and seekers gather to be renewed by the living water provided for us by Christ. The Well is a place of replenishment, nourishment and renewal as we live out our journey together, seeking water capable of quenching our eternal thirst. We drink deeply from the Well, dipping beyond the surface, beyond the superficial, beyond the Sunday school answer, and beyond the stereotype, when discussing Christ, our journey and our community.The Well is not a place where cookie-cutter discipleship takes place. At the Well, disciples, seekers and Christ-followers bring their gifts, talents, dreams, struggles, questions and identities to discover how they might be transformed to benefit and help redeem our community, the city of Augusta and the World.The Well is a safe place where we are free to take off our masks and allow God to heal and restore us as we appreciate each other and what makes each of us unique. The Well is a community that seeks restoration and redemption. We seek to reconcile humanity to God and to reconcile humans with each other. Therefore, the Well is open to sinners, saints, outsiders, ragamuffins and anyone seeking answers to life’s deepest questions.
iThirst - November 19 Sermon
Have you ever craved something so much that nothing short of that particular substance could possibly do? Last weekend, I absolutely had to have an Outback Prime Rib with a side of Aussie chips (for those of you who are not familiar with the menu at the Outback, Aussie chips are basically some of the best French Fries you can find anywhere). I knew intrinsically that no other food could possibly fill my craving; there could be no substitute. I ordered a 16-ounce Prime Rib, medium rare and waited patiently to experience the sustenance that would fill my craving. Moments later, the waitress returned with a look of concern. “I have some bad news,” she said, “We just sold our last cut of Prime. Would you like something else?” Continue reading ‘iThirst - November 19 Sermon’
