This week at the Vineyard: Fall small group registration is live on www.billingsvineyard.org! One of the small groups this fall is the Alpha course, a small group launching on September 20th that builds community and deals with big questions about God, life, and faith. Who do you know between the Sundays who may be asking questions about faith and how they can join God's story? Invite them to Alpha! Please register with them ahead of time.

On Sunday, September 17th, Vineyard will host a community prayer night, when our extended family in the Billings community will come together and pray over our missional work of the Kingdom. Join us!

Adam unpacks the crowded soil in the Parable of the Sower (or the Parable of the Really Bad Farmer) that we explored last Sunday. The crowded soil, which is a picture of competition that doesn't leave us time to participate in the body of Christ, isn't just about how we spend our Sundays. Healthy, uncrowded soil is comprehensive and includes our Sunday activities as well as time between the Sundays: time spent in prayer, Scripture, being built up by and building up others, living in a missional posture that sees the lost and shares the gift of the Kingdom with them. Having healthy, uncrowded soil is based on relational realignment with the created order of the Kingdom and seeking to serve the will of God, not based on good behavior. Adam would love to hear your thoughts; share them with him by emailing [email protected].
