God is at work
in and through us.
Can you believe it is already March? It is going to be a wonderful month, filled with precious times of worship, teaching, and fellowship to increase your faith, strengthen your family, and grow encouraging friendships. Holy Week will provide profound opportunities to deepen your understanding of who our Savior is and just how much He loves you. We hope you won’t miss a single moment of the Holy Week journey! Find out more about our Easter services in Peoria, AZ HERE.
In February, Pastor Steve finished up the “Where Do You Sit? Where Do You Serve” teaching series with a strong challenge for us to identify our God-given gifts and then put them to good use serving in His Kingdom. As a result, we have so many people stepping forward, answering “Yes!” to serve in various ministries throughout the Reunion Church. If you did not receive a “Where Do You Sit? Where Do You Serve” ministry opportunity card, please be sure to pick one up at the Connection Desk located in the back corner of our worship room. The card also provides the opportunity to sign up to take a spiritual gifts assessment, so if you have not done so, don’t miss out! Ministry leaders are reaching out now to those who are stepping forward to answer the call to service in Kingdom work at the Reunion Church.
We continue to focus on our mandate to steward the property the Lord has given us. Fully developing our land to include an all-purpose community gathering room, athletic fields, a sports court, and improvements to our sanctuary are all key growth components to maximize ministry and engage our surrounding community. We are only at 13% of our goal! We need everyone to participate because every dollar (Really! Every dollar – so give what you can!) donated towards property improvements will be stewarded very carefully and of course, is tax-deductible. Learn more about our Where Do You Sit, Where Do You Serve campaign, as well as more about biblical giving, including the differences between tithes and offerings, and how funds are spent at the Reunion Church HERE. We encourage you to step forward in faith, and watch how God blesses, because His Word says that He loves a cheerful giver! Please prayerfully join us – invest in improving our campus for our families and expanding ministry at the Reunion Church and beyond.

THE HOLY WEEK JOURNEY
By Dr. Stephen Isaac
My Dear Friends…
As you and I journey together through another Holy Week at the Reunion Church with a full schedule of Easter services in Peoria, AZ, I need to tell you that I have (more than ever) a sense of urgency regarding our shared walk of faith. Yes, we are all gracefully getting a little older, but aging is not at the heart of my urgency and concern. In my process of sorting and seeking, what keeps coming to the surface is that our common biblical worldview, our grid of Christian values, and our faith legacy seem more at risk today than at any other time in my life. Not because we are giving up – but because we are under a full attack from an anti-Christ spirit that you and I have never before seen in our own country and culture. Truth is, we have raised two complete generations who do not believe what we believe – period. This is not a blame and shame game, a red flag bugle call, or a frantic plea for us all to get on the ark before the flood.
What is in my heart, and on my mind rather, is more along the lines of pulling ourselves together, first as individuals and then as a community of believers in Christ. Pulling together to live our lives moving forward in redemption, proclamation, and subjugation of our Christian faith. Who are we? How are we going to finish what we’ve started? What will we leave behind of the truth, and of our faith in God? This all starts for you and I, in our love for God, His Word, and how we are living our lives for Him. The Seven Deadly Sins in Seven Days, was the way I believe God spoke to me as a starting place. He was saying, “Steve, clean it up – all of it, and then sit down and write about it – all of it.” You and I are witnesses to the greatest truth ever told. You and I are a living witness to the greatest truth ever known. It is time for all of us to honor that, by how we live our lives.
I want us together to aggressively come against these sins (whatever the form or magnitude) in our lives, and begin to put them under our feet, so that we may victoriously live in the truth we have witnessed – as truthful witnesses! Please pray for me, as I pray for you during this important and life-changing time. I love each of you with the love of our dear Savior Jesus Christ – may His peace and redemption fill us as we respond to the conviction and challenge of the Holy Spirit working in us. Be on the lookout for our Holy Week devotional – we will go through it together. We will notify you by e-mail, text, and through the app when it is ready.
