Santa Rosa Valley Updates

September 2010
The annual Spring Clean in Santa Rosa included about 1,100 people in four cities gathering to clean up their communities. This Care event has created trust and appreciation for the Church in the community. In addition, more churches than ever are coming together to offer school supplies to needy families. More than 40 churches will distribute about 2,000 full backpacks to kids and present the gospel to parents. In the last four years, more than 2,000 people have committed their lives to Christ through this outreach. The leadership team in Santa Rosa has expanded to include leaders in the marketplace and those with ministry in prayer and intercession.

The Together in Christ team, and participants in the midweek Pastors Prayer Fellowship, heartily affirm and embrace the pray-care-share ethos and lifestyle, but want to be sure it does not become a programmatic application. The movement is still in recovery from losing its city leader and needs fresh fire lit to give direction to the practical outworking of Loving Our Communities to Christ.
