Missions Month

WHAT IS PRAYER WALKING?

Prayer walking is “praying on-site with insight.” Allow what you see, hear, feel, smell, and taste

to help inform your prayers.
Ask the Holy Spirit to guide you as you pray.

HOW DO I PRAYER WALK?

Begin with praise and confession.
Thank God for the opportunity to partner with Him in His work by lifting up the spiritual and physical needs of the people group or community you walk through.
Confess any known sin so that you intercede with a clean heart.
Ask the Holy Spirit to guide your thoughts and prayers as you go.

If you aren’t sure what prayer needs to ask for, praying Scripture is a great place to start. Pray through any verses that come to mind. Be sure to note what passages and insights the Lord brings to your mind.

Donation Opportunities for VBS

A note from our pastor..

“The single, biggest evangelistic event we have all year long for kids is Vacation Bible School. We are hoping to fill our building with boys and girls from all over our community. The focus is simple, tell them about Jesus. Through games, crafts, and Biblical teaching, we will do our best to introduce every kid who comes through the doors to Jesus Christ. We will be sharing that He alone is the "Way, Truth, and the Life." We are praying that the Gospel would be sown into precious little hearts and that many would trust in Jesus for salvation.” - Charlie Blount

WILL YOU HELP BY DONATING?

Boxes will be located throughout the building for drop-off donations. Thank you!

If you have any questions, please contact the Next Gen office at 405-793-2646 or via email at brennan.ludwig@firstmoore.com.

We're Remodeling

DETOUR AHEAD!

Demolition has officially begun and the Worship Center is now a construction zone that should not be entered without authorization and proper protection. All of the Worship Center doors will be locked and there will be a temporary wall in both breezeways that will restrict access to the hallway behind the worship center. The bathrooms and choir room will still be accessible. We are excited and thankful to be in this season of work. 

With that being said, to get from the East building to the West building and vice versa, we recommend accessing the second floor by stairs or elevator and traveling across the Atrium walkway behind the black curtains.

The mission opportunities will be things like Backyard Bible Club, homeless ministry, street witnessing, prayer walking, light construction, yard work, worship leading, etc. We will also have some fun sightseeing and tourism opportunities in the city of New Orleans. We are also planning on helping students raise funds who might need financial assistance. If you are interested in this trip, please contact Daniel or Jason.

Holy Week at First Moore

On Palm Sunday, April 10, we will begin Holy Week with a night of worship that will include testimonies, scripture reading, and worship through song. This will begin at 6pm in the Worship Center.

Our Good Friday Service will be a more intimate time of reflection as we remember the death of Jesus. This service will begin at 6:30 in the Atrium on Friday, April 15.

Easter Sunday will be a joyous morning of fellowship and worship celebrating our risen Savior starting with a breakfast from 8:45 to 10:00am and then Worship, beginning at 10:30am. We hope you, your friends, family, coworkers, neighbors, whoever… can join us that morning!

Discipleship Pastor Candidate

First Moore is excited to announce John Wilkerson as our candidate to be our next Discipleship Pastor. John has been serving the Lord faithfully on college campuses for the past fifteen years. He has a great heart for the Lord and for making disciples. We believe that he will be a great addition to our pastoral team.

To learn more about John, view his testimony here:

Sunday, April 10, has been set aside for the congregation to get to meet John and to affirm the work that God has been doing. We will have a Meet and Greet in the Atrium from 9:00am-10:00am with light breakfast items. Immediately following our 10:30am Worship Service we will enter into a time of special called business for a vote of affirmation.

Join us in prayer over the next month that we could continue to be in step with what God wants and for the future work that is to come.
