Be infused, invigorated, encouraged @ inSpirit!

Last time we updated, we shared our new name with you. Since our last update, inSpirit has become more than just a name. Here’s a few things that have happened or are currently in process;
· We have filed our papers of incorporation with the State of Michigan.
· In process is the official documentation for our 502c3 status.
· In process are the negotiations of leasing a facility on Hwy. 131 & 76th St.
· We have also filed for “Special use Permit” of the facility with Byron Township. We’ll continue to keep you updated with more info in the next few weeks. At that time we also plan to share an events timeline for gatherings and ministry events.

Exponential Conference
As a leadership team, we’ve also been blessed by being able to attend the National Church Planting Conference in Orlando, Florida. What a blessing to learn from the nations leading church planters and ministry experts as the shared how to grow churches through relationships and community engagement. The learning was awesome and so was the time we spent as a group. We continue to be amazed at the enthusiasm and talents of the people God has assembled for the leadership of inSpirit Church.

Get Involved!
We are currently looking for people who are planning on joining inSpirit who are interested in helping with the educational programs. If you are inters ted in working with children (nursery, children's worship) or the youth (middle and high school), or would just like to learn more, please email Lisa at laledeboer@aol.com.

Please Pray
At this time, we are grateful to all of you who are following this blog. We covet your prayers and support. Specifically, here is how you can support us.

· Pray for the leadership team as we continue move forward with bold confidence!
· Pray that God will continue to work and lead in the hearts of those people He will call to inSpirit Church.
· Pray for the negotiations of the lease, township permits, and government documentation process.
· Pray for our next gathering on May 13th at the Alto Precision bldg located at 6534 Clay Ave. in Cutlerville.
· Pray that God would provide the funding necessary. The building we are looking to lease is empty. Basically an empty box. No chairs, sound systems, phones, equipment – nothing. The goal of the leadership team is to raise $40,000 to cover the lease and cost of start-up etc. If you are able to help, we covet your support. Please mail checks to our new name / old address at:
