Hi everyone!

I just thought it would be a good idea to drop in on the website and let you know what's been going on with the Lost & Found lately! 

Hey everybody! 

Hi Everyone -

One of the things that we didn't touch on today at Urban is ARK projects this winter. 

Several of you have already helped out with a very random ARK project, helping someone repair/restore a roof and ceiling in their mobile home, and now it's time to swing into high gear this winter to show God's love in practical ways! 

The temperature is dropping... the heat bill is going up. 

Christmas lights are going up... so are gas bills...

Bank accounts will be emptied... if they ever were full to begin with...

At Urban, we're committed to spreading Christmas cheer, and showing God's love in practical ways to people this Christmas season.  And this year, we're not just going to be about God's business one afternoon, or Christmas Eve only.  We're creating opportunities for you to get involved all through the rest of the Christmas season!

It's time to continue the vision God laid on Pastor Tom's heart.  We need to keep making a difference in the lives of the people in our community. 

Tomorrow... from 10am on at Roger's Bulk Candy Shop on 9 Mile & Hayes in Eastpointe, The Urban Church and Roger's will be giving away 400 free scoops of Ice Cream!  In return, we ask that you donate to the cause of BROKEN.  If you already have donated... consider inviting friends, family, others to come and to donate! 

Hey men of Urban - here's another opportunity to show the community we are here for them!  We're planning out food donations and Turkey donations to prepare Thanksgiving meals for families in the community this year, and we need your help! 

Lots of really cool things have happened over the last year... moving into our building, all the people getting connected to Christ, baptism services, Christmas Eve Candlelit service, more and more people attending growth groups, real relationships forming, just a ton of great things!
