You have waited long enough and it’s finally here: “Servefest 2012″! We have several serving opportunities for both campuses this year.
Ann Arbor will kick off the Servefest season on May 19th and Brighton will kick off on June 2nd. We offer both child friendly and non child friendly serving opportunities.

Please check with your campus Welcome Table for specific campus-related information.

Do you want to help people take next steps with God?

Have you ever thought about leading a small group or ministry team at 2|42? Or have you ever wondered why we do what we do? Then Turbo is for you!

Our Turbo Leadership Training will be offer at both campuses and include free childcare and refreshments.

Ann Arbor | Saturday, June 9th from 9:00am – 1:30pm at the A2 building. 
Brighton | Saturday, June 16th at the 2|42 Offices from 9:00am-1:30pm.

Here are a few reasons you may want to attend Turbo:
a) you think someday you might be interested in leading a small group,
b) you would love to lead a team and help 242 rock,
c) you’re apprenticing with a leader now,
d) you love Jesus,
e) or you want to change the world 1 life at a time.

Either way Turbo is not a commitment to lead a small group or team, but is a requirement if you ever want to. Turbo is designed to give you the nuts and bolts of how we do leadership here at 2|42. It will turn you into a leading machine.

To sign up all you need to do is email Kevin Davis and confirm your desire to attend. If your spouse will be attending and/or you need childcare please indicate that as well. Looking forward to hanging out with you and talking about how to help people take next steps with God through our small groups!

Here’s what people have loved about the Turbo experience from our anonymous survey:

“Meeting people with the same desire to reach out within our community to help others with their spiritual growth.”

“It was just the right amount of information to inspire me to be a better leader.”

“It is important to get everyone on the same page with group leadership and what it means. I guess I feel like it’s more of an orientation than an intensive training. I think this is fine – I wasn’t sure I needed “training,” but I did need this. Oh, and I loved the toys.”

“Turbo strengthened my relationship with Christ.”

“The packet is a great resource that can be used over and over again. ”

Join us and more than half a dozen local churches as we share God’s love in practical ways with no strings attached on May 19th! It’s hard to think of a better expression of the church than us serving our city together. Please make plans to serve with us and make sure you bring a friend too!

“A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step.” Walk This Way is a four week study of the book of 1John. In this series we will study the steps of Jesus and discover how we can walk His way.

We are on the move to a permanent facility in A2! God has opened the doors for us to purchase the former Veritas Christi Catholic High School behind Kroger in the Westgate Plaza. It’s an incredible value, in an incredible location…in fact it’s so incredible that it’s only possible because God is moving!

And something that is incredibly unique about God moving is that he does it through us, you and I. It takes all of us to continue to be a strong church. As you give and serve at 2|42, your generosity is what makes us a church…and not just any church, a church that God blesses.

Our last Sunday at the FourPoint Sheraton will be on May 6th! So mark your calendars.

So we’ll see you at 410 S Maple Rd on May 13th at our normal 9:30 & 11:00 service times! We can’t wait!
