We don’t often think of ourselves as works of art; God’s beautiful masterpiece, created to leave a lasting impression on this earth. But that’s exactly what Ephesians 2:10 tell us we are: Created in the image of God with a call to accomplish the work He has set before us. Join us October 14-16 at Hartland as we discover our creation in Christ and purpose for this life.
Help us spread the word! Invite your mother, sisters, aunts, in-laws, friends and neighbors! Beginning September 25, contact Crista at the office (485-6460) or visit the table on the lawn between services to register.

Our speaker, Mary Willis, is the Director of Connection and Equipping Ministries at New Covenant Community Church in Fresno. Before joining the staff at NewCov, Mary was in the business of helping young people discover their gifts and abilities as university career center director at both Fresno Pacific University and the University of California, Merced. Her career and passion has been focused on helping people at any age find how God has created them for “good works” and helping them connect to the places that can best use how God made them.
While Mary was raised in a Christian home, her personal journey with Jesus began in college. That journey continues with ups and downs, twists and turns, but she is confident that she, and all who are in Christ, will be eventually shaped and conformed into the image of Jesus. She is constantly amazed that the Creator of the universe has chosen to use people, as imperfect and broken as we all are, as the instruments of His will. Our responsibility is to be active participants in the execution of His will. After all, Mark 28:18-20 is called the Great Commission, not the Great Suggestion.
During this interactive weekend, Mary will help you answer these questions:
* How are you uniquely crafted for good works?
* What makes a “work” good?
* How do I know what good works were prepared for me to do?
* Where is my mission field?
Mary has been married to her husband, Rod for 18 years. They have two children, Emma (13) and Sam (9). When not at NewCov, Mary and Rod are very involved with their children’s activities and cheering on the San Francisco Giants.
