Top 3 Things to Know This Week Reaching Challenge • TODAY Have you checked out the Reaching Challenge yet? Over the last year, people from almost every Sunday School class have visited hundreds of first-time guests of our church.

Tell Someone Imagine what could happen if, over the course of 10 weeks, Shandon prayed for 7,500 neighbors to know Christ! Imagine if 5,000 were joyfully invited to hear God’s Word and worship with our church family. Imagine if 2,000 people heard the gospel… by Easter Sunday! We can do this, but we need your participation. Our hope for 2017 is that together we can impact our city by loving our neighbors well. Tell Someone, this year’s outreach strategy, equips all of us to do this together. We will spend 3 weeks (February 5, 12, & 19) learning the strategy in our Sunday School classes and then work together until Easter (and beyond!) at loving our neighbors well. Please make every effort to be in Sunday School for this 3-week emphasis!
