In 1953 a group of engineers and businessmen chose Visioneering as the name of a new, innovative design and manufacturing company poised to serve the emerging aerospace industry. Now, 56 years later we’ve chosen it as the name of our November Outreach sermon series. In both cases the desire is to capture the sense of seeing the needs and possibilities of the future and preparing for it. In our case, that means we need to see some things about God clearly too.

Traditionally we have hosted a Missions Conference that has showcased the wonderful ways Central supports people who are serving God and reaching out in Jesus’ Name locally and in different parts of the world. We have brought in special speakers and have missionaries lining the Concourse. This year is different. We decided to highlight God’s calling on the lives of our favorite missionaries this year: you. (That’s right, you.) The person you see in the mirror every morning has a special call rooted in the heart of God that will use your gifts and skills to reach the world around you. God’s way is to use us, and to use us in partnership with Jesus’ other followers, no matter what local church they call home.
