For some time now\, the leadership of Elevation has been talking about the concept of "membership." It's been our desire to find an expression that could be life-giving for us\, and not just more of the rigid formality that membership often tends towards.
And so\, on Sunday\, September 26\, we have planned an event that will be our springboard into a new season of discovering what it means for an individual to be part of the Elevation community\; to be more than an attender\, an observer\, or a consumer\, but instead\, an active participant in the life of our church as we strive to become the kind of people God has created us to be.
After our Sunday morning service\, we will gather from 1:00 - 4:30pm (lunch included!)\, and we would encourage everyone who is interested to attend. The day will be low on information-downloading and heavy on interaction. We'll share our stories\, pray for our future\, and take the next step of our journey together!
Please provide us with the information below and register by sending an email to info@elevateyourlife.org. (There is no cost to attend\, but we need to know who's coming so we can plan accordingly.)

Sometimes the decisions we make seem easy and inconsequential...what colour of socks to wear\, what to eat for breakfast. However\, many of life's choices are much more difficult and the stakes are far higher. These bigger decisions emerge out of our values and require that we apply wisdom in our considerations. Learning to include God's perspective in these decisions is absolutely crucial. Our life depends on it! (Steve Tulloch speaking)

Despite the best intentions of our Creator\, there’s something in us that provokes us to wander. The good news for all of us\, though\, is that God is in the habit of seeking out what he has lost. And when he finds it (when he finds us)\, some serious celebration is in order! (Brandon Malo speaking)
Readings: Exodus 32:7-14\; Psalm 51:1-10\; 1 Timothy 1:12-17\; Luke 15:1-10

It can seem like the only way for us to succeed in life is at the expense of others: if we want to be well off\, then someone else will have to go without. But what if we make it a priority to take care of others first? What kind of impact might that have on our lives? (Brandon Malo speaking)
Readings: Amos 8:4-7\; Psalm 113\; 1 Timothy 2:1-7\; Luke 16:1-13

Most of us will never experience a life of material extravagance\, but while excess can make us cringe at times\, there’s still something about it that attracts us. What is it? Could it be that luxurious living begins to meet a deeper human need\, but one that even great wealth cannot satisfy? (Brandon Malo speaking)
