Reasons I love the Western Montana Fair!

With the 2010 Western Montana Fair currently going on in Missoula, I wanted to take a brief moment and talk about why

we at Gen One love the fair and our fund raising booth. It is always a busy season as Summer winds down and we can

see school kicking back off in the near future, but one of our most important weeks of the year is during the Western Montana

Fair in August. Here are a few reasons I love the fair:

We only have to do one BIG fundraiser for the whole year! NO selling useless items, car washes, or other silly things, ONE fundraiser for the year
This one fundraiser allows us to provide scholarships for Camp Fuego, Vision, Mission Trips and so much more
All of our supplies, and even improvements for our ministries is raised in this one week of hard work
We get to raise money outside of the church walls. We never want to continually ask for money from those who call our church home. This allows us to find funding elsewhere.
It’s a great time to spend time with people! Fair week is often the largest chunk of time we will spend with the students of the ministry, and allows us to just be with others
It’s amazing the people you run into at the fair…some who have slipped to the fringes, been busy in Summer, or we may have lost track of. The fair allows many divine appointments for ministry
In the community. Part of our calling as a church is to be “in the world.” The fair is a great time being in our community, serving our community, and enjoying people
I’m continually blessed by those who serve without hesitancy and beyond my imagination. Every year students, families, and leaders step up to help the cause of Christ in Missoula.
It is always a joy to see our church family serve others with joy and great attitudes. We are always spoken very well of, and provide great service to people. Our tip jars overflow daily!

2010 Is here

Hey everyone, happy 2010! I hope that you’re year is going great so far. I believe it’s going to be an exciting year right here in Missoula and God is going to do NEW things among us, Hi people. We have a few great things coming down the line that I want to make sure you know about.

This weekend we are heading over to Kellogg, Idaho and Silver Mountain Resort. It’s going to be a great time of enjoying one another, and the great facilities (including an indoor waterpark with a wave, lazy river, tube rides and more) and a fantastic skiiing hill accessed by a Gondola.. We are hoping for fresh snow, and can’t wait to go!

At Gen One we are kicking off a Preaching Series looking at the process of going from “Being Called”, to living the life that “Confesses Jesus as Lord.” We are going to travel through the book of Matthew and really study how Peter has traveled along this journey. This series will begin tonight, January 6th and run each Wednesday through the end of the month.

Once February hits we will launch into our annual “Purity Preaching Series” and address issues that are relevant for young people in Missoula and their culture.

February 12th-14th we will be having our College & Career Retreat out at Deep Creek Prayer House. This is a great opportunity to connect with other people within the our church and community who are hungry for more of the Lord. More information and registration fees are coming soon.

It’s gonna be a great year, and I’m so blessed that you’re a part of our church family!

Miracle Night, Wow!

Hey guys, I just wanted to restate the great news about Miracle Night which was December 9th. At the end of the service we received a special offering for Gen One, and YOU pledged and gave a total of $1,819. AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME. It is amazing what we can do together for God’s kingdom! I do want to remind you that if you pledged money, we are hoping to have that turned in by Wednesday January 6th, 2010. Thank you so much, and Merry Christmas

Hello August, it’s nice to see you

Hey guys I hope you’re Summer isn’t going to fast and you are enjoying every minute of it. I can hardly believe that this week the Western Montana Fair is in town! Oh how time flies when you’re having fun! I wanted to remind everyone of a few things for the upcoming weeks. First there is no Gen One service this Wednesday because of the fair. If you are signed up to work the fair, thanks so much! Without you we couldn’t do so many of our great events. If you don’t know we have a food booth at the fair serving Philly Cheesesteaks and we are also the exclusive booth with Espresso drinks. This is our largest fundraiser of the year, and we appreciate all your support. The booth is located on food row on the fairgrounds.

We also have just a few events left during the summer including hiking the “M” trail, biking to the Osprey game. Be sure to be checking the website or Facebook for those dates. Wednesday night services are continuing to go and we will be officially kicking of the Fall semester on September 16th. Keep looking for details about this. It’s going to be a grea semester including the Vision Conference October 15-17 @ CFCC and so much more. We have great things planned for Jr. High, High School and College this semester and you will definitely want to be a part of it.

We have an amazing youth ministry and I’m so looking forward to the days ahead. Enjoy your week, and thanks for being a part of our church family!

Hey There!

Well, as you can tell the website has gotten a bit of an overhaul. We hope you like the updates, but most of all that the site is more useful for you! The site is easier for us to maintain which means……more updates and up-to-date content. Check out the links to the Gen One Facebook page, and coming soon will be the Gen One Twitter page. Summer brings busy months, but we have put together a schedule of events that will allow everyone to just enjoy the weather and hang out together. I will post the full summer calendar soon. Hope you guys are having a rocking afternoon, and I can’t wait to see you tonight at 7pm @ Gen One.
