Food, Family, Fun (Page 3)

What would it be like for the church to be good for the communities they live in and good also for the growth and wholeness of the people within? Many churches are good at one or the other.

This network of volunteer host families help parents who need temporary care for their children as they work through unmanageable or critical circumstances. Christ’s Church is proud to partner with our local Safe Families center at Bethany Christian services in Candia, NH.

As we re-enter life after the pandemic, and as the church re-invents itself for the new normal, what kind of people do we want to be, and does the world need us to be? Our culture is increasingly suspicious of, resistant to, and even hostile toward institutional Christianity. What can we learn from the early believers about practicing “the way of Jesus” in a way that opens people’s hearts to the good news of life with God? Check out our…
