New Name

Yesterday at church we made the big announcement:

We are changing the name of our church.

We have been Empower since we started in June but the Lord has been ministering to us in several ways that we needed to change the name.

So starting on January 1st, 2007 we will be called
Family Life Christian Center.

As I was seeking counsel on this one comment from my brother was that the name Empower hits the head while Family hits the heart.

People need family and we can give them that.
People need to belong and they can belong here.
People need to be loved and they get that here.

We're so blessed to be in this ministry. People are being loved, helped, taught, trained. Its exciting to see and hear the things the Lord is doing in people's lives.

We also got a new web domain
www.familylife.cc
It still hits www.empowerchicago.org but we'll be renovating the site for the name change and the new year.

God bless you all.
Thanks for reading and have a great day.

Joe
