UPCOMING EVENTS
Sunday, October 4
Mud Creek Campus
Moses is taking too long, so the people build a god they can see. Most of our idols start the same way, not with rebellion but with waiting. When God feels slow, we reach for something we can hold. Yet even at the foot of that mountain, God doesn't walk away. God remembers the promise and stays.
Promis Road Campus
You hear it from street sidewalks and through church doors: “Repent! The kingdom is coming!” It almost seems to be a warning or a threat, like the scary ghost in the corner is coming to get you. So what does it mean when John the Baptist tells those around him to repent for the kingdom is near? Do we have reason to be scared or is there great reason to hope?

Louisville, Kentucky
Adult Service-Learning Project
We will be traveling to Kentucky to help rehab a house into a home! Since 2008, Fuller Center for Housing of Louisville has worked with over 100 families in their quest to help low-income families gain permanent, affordable housing. They acquire/purchase vacant, abandoned or foreclosed upon property to restore and utilize for affordable housing for community members. A local church will provide our shelter and showers, we will cook our meals, work during the day and relax in the evenings enjoying community together. Please email: serve@geistchristian.org for more information. You can sign up here!

Keenagers Trip (Adult Field Trip): October 16, TC Steele Home
Join us for a tour of the home of artist TC Steele, outside of Nashville, IN. In 1907, T.C. and his second wife, Selma Neubacher Steele, purchased property in Brown County and began construction of their home, which they named the House of the Singing Winds. They built the large studio in 1916 to accommodate T.C.’s work. Selma created several acres of gardens around the home and landscaped the surrounding hillsides to enhance the beauty of their property.
After our tour, we will have lunch at Hard Truth in Nashville.
