News and information on
events and opportunities to
serve in, about, and from Three Stones Church
Why Three Stones? It has long been my perspective that the church, any church, all churches, exist for only three purposes – worship, evangelism, and discipleship. As we have moved into the process of bringing the Three Stones church into existence, I have grown to believe this even more deeply. These stones represent the foundation upon which this church is to be built.
Worship: Anything we do to focus on God as the Father as the center of our lives.
Evangelism : Following the lead of the Holy Spirit to reach others and bring them to the Father, through the work of the Son.
Discipleship : Following the model and example of Jesus, the Son of God, to enable believers to do the work to which God the Father is calling them.
Worship : Worship is to be enabled by worship services, then extended into our lives. Small group worship. Family worship. Individual worship…worship.
Evangelism: During worship services and small groups we should learn about, and be encouraged to, share the Good News of the Gospel.
Discipleship : All of us should seek to disciple and to be discipled.
Help for the little ones!
We have an immediate need for volunteers, two at a time, to provide nursery care during worship. Can you volunteer for one or more Sundays? Please contact Penny Saroukos at 678-4711 or pennys321@hotmail.com.
"And he took the children in his arms, placed his hands on them and blessed them." Mark 10:16
Jesus set an example for us, by taking the little ones in His arms and blessing them…may we follow His example!

Thoughts for the week:
How can I worship daily?
Who needs to hear that Jesus loves them?
Who can help me grow in Christ? Who can I help?
Can I spend less energy bringing the world into the church, and more energy bringing the church to the world?
