Crunch Time!

Tuesday, September 27, 2011
Ok...it is now less than three weeks until our Milton Campus launch...18 days to be more precise.  As a matter of fact, I would say that 'crunch time' might even be an understatement.

Here is what is coming - and coming fast I might add!

This Saturday, a team of people will be putting on their walking shoes and heading out into the neighborhoods south of Derry Rd. between Bronte Rd. and Tremaine to hand out postcards to about 3,000 homes advertising the new PORTICO Milton Campus.  We are still looking for willing participants. You won't have to talk to anyone - just leave a card at their door. If you can help us we are meeting by the Tim Hortons in the plaza at the corner of Bronte and Derry Rd (Wild Wing on the corner) at 9:30am. We will form our teams and give route instructions here and then send you out to cover your routes. Please comment below or click here to send me an email if you can help us on Saturday. The more people we have, the faster we can cover the area.

This Sunday, October 2nd, our lead teams will be gathering in Milton at the Best Western Milton Inn, 161 Chisholm Drive (near Hwy 401 and Hwy 25) for our soft launch. All that really means is that we are going to do a trial run of a complete service this Sunday morning. Set-up teams will arrive early to get everything ready to go. Children's ministry teams will be on hand to meet together and get a feel for the rooms they will be working in. Ushering and greeting teams will do the same. Our worship team will rehearse beforehand and then at 10:15am we will have a full Sunday morning service.  Please be in prayer for us as we take this Sunday to try and work out any of the proverbial 'bugs' before we do our full launch on Sunday October 16th at 10:15am. You are more than welcome to attend at 10:15 am if you would like to help us by providing feedback afterwards. Please note that we will NOT be offering childcare at the soft launch.

Of course don't forget to be at PORTICO the next two Sundays (if you aren't with us for the soft launch) - but in particular, Thanksgiving Sunday, October 9th!  We want everyone who plans to be a part of the Milton Campus to be in church at PORTICO Mississauga on that day as we will all be commissioned as an extension and expression of PORTICO community church and officially sent out to the community of Milton to help people there find their way back to God.

Exciting days...this is really happening people!

Still looking for some committed people in all of the following areas:
  • ushering
  • greeting
  • setup & tear down
  • children's ministries
  • worship team vocalists/musicians
  • tech operators (training provided)
  • prayer team
  • connectors
  • CLG hosts & leaders
Comment below or click here to email me about serving in any capacity at our new campus. And please, please - don't forget to pray every day for God's favour as we take this incredible step to help people in Milton find their way back to God.

Blessings,

Pastor Jeff
