Clifton, NJ Family Church: D3 Ignite Our Passions Summit - WFWP Party

Dear Brothers and Sisters, Hope this letter finds you well. Springtime is a season for new beginnings. Beautiful new life is emerging in the creation all around us, and hopefully in your life too.

We will be making a fresh start as a D3 Community at our D3 Ignite Our Passions Virtual Summit this Sunday, April 11 from 1-3pm and 4-6pm. I sincerely hope you can join us and add your unique voice and perspective to the conversations. It won’t be the same without you!

Be sure to register for the Summit today to: • Connect to God’s Heart for our D3 community • Share concerns, inspirations and ideas with each other • Gain clarity on our community’s vision • Be empowered in expressing our divine nature and making our unique offering to God

Also, an exciting new update is that Japanese translation will be provided at the Summit via conference call. More details will be provided when you get there.

I’m also really looking forward to seeing you in-person or virtually at our In-person Sunday Service next Sunday, April 18th at 9:30am at the Clifton Family Church. We’ll be hearing live music from our local band. I’ll be giving a message on “Coming Home” and there will be time to fellowship with refreshments in the courtyard after the service, all while keeping a safe distance.

Wishing you abundant love and blessings in the coming week!

Sincerely, Pastor Crescentia
