We missed gathering with you last Sunday, but we hope the snow day served as a gift of rest from the Lord! Be expectant for Jesus to speak to us about unceasing prayer through Pastor Ben this Sunday!
We're thankful that we could gather Wednesday night to worship and pray together at Prayer & Praise! Church, we want these monthly prayer gatherings to be one of the sweetest days of the month for our church. Plan to join us next month on April 15th for the next one!
To go deeper in your understanding of Unapologetic Preaching, listen to the Vertical Life Podcast episode from this week, The Centrality of the Word.

Ministry in Uppsala, Sweden
Last week, some of our members partnered with Cru and spent time at Uppsala University having conversations with students! Through these conversations, they learned more about Swedish culture and how students view things like God, good and evil, death, and the like-and, when the opportunity arose, were able to share the Gospel and the reason for their hope (1 Peter 3:15).
With a reputation for being one of the most secular and individualistic countries in the world, less than 5% of the population are Bible-believing Christians. Only 15% of members of the Church of Sweden profess faith in Jesus, and only around 2% attend church weekly.
Please pray for the students who were ministered to by these members last week, and that the seeds that were planted would grow!

An update on Community at Vertical
Mark your calendars for our Community Formation class on April 8th at 6:30 PM. This class is designed to cast vision for the kind of life-on-life communities we believe God is calling us to build-marked by lots of Gospel, lots of safety, and lots of time. You'll learn what this kind of community looks like and be invited into clear next steps for joining or helping start one. This will be followed by Community Launch a month later, where those interested in beginning a group will be trained more practically.
