Culture & Christianity - Culture Shift
You can feel it, even if you can’t define it. Significant cultural shifts are impacting North America, having taken root in other parts of the world decades ago. One way to describe these shifts is to say that our culture is becoming “Post-Christian.” But what exactly does that mean? How is a post-Christian culture different from what went before? And what are the implications for Intown? What will faithfulness to Jesus look like in this new environment? We will spend two weeks laying a foundation for understanding our culture and our calling with honesty, hope, and courage rooted in the goodness of Jesus and his gospel. Plan to join us on Nov. 10 & 17 at 9:30 a.m. and bring a friend!
Service of Remembrance
On Sunday, Nov. 3, Intown will offer a brief Service of Remembrance at 12:15 p.m. in Room 217. This is a time for people who have lost loved ones in the recent past, and particularly in the previous year, to come together to grieve, to support each other, and to experience the hope that Jesus offers. If you or others you know would benefit from being a part of this service, please click here to register by Friday, Nov. 1 at Noon.

Upcoming Sermon Series: Belong & Believe
Jesus often said that he searched for people, sought them and looked for them. He tells stories about searching for lost sheep, lost coins, and lost sons. He pursues people, calling them to belong to the family he is building from all nations, calling them to believe in all that he is and all that he offers. Jesus is calling Intown to join him in these acts of love—helping people we know belong and believe, not as mechanical process or religious project, but as a genuine demonstration that we have been marked by his love. Let’s discover together what it means to be marked by the love of Jesus, so that we can see that love touch more and more lives throughout our city. The series will begin on Oct. 27.
