Welcome to the first installment of Fruitful, a weekly newsletter from Orchard Church.

This space will include timely content that keeps you informed about the life and times of the church. 

Sometimes it will come from me (Nick) and sometimes from Leiah, but regardless of the byline, we strive to send you timely content that keeps you informed about the life of Orchard Church and how you can be involved.

Without further adieu, here is what you need to know this week.

 The Porch

Join us on The Porch on Monday, August 26 from 6-8 p.m. at our (surprise!) future Sunday gathering location in Madison. Join us at the Bethany Ministry Center (301 Riverside Drive, Madison) for a BBQ dinner, an update on what's happening at Orchard, sermon teaching, and a time of connection. 

If you haven't yet been a part of these gatherings, they are a great way to meet people and join us at the "ground level" as we journey towards starting our public gathering launch this October. We are exploring the four "altars" necessary to see spiritual awakening. We've discussed the altars of the heart and the home, and on August 26 we will explore the altar of the church appropriately at our new church "home". For more information, please visit our website. We hope to see you there!
 

Love Dane

Guided by Orchard Church’s core values of Radical Generosity and Sacrificial Mission, we have a fantastic chance to make a difference in our Eastside Madison community through Love Dane, an annual multi-church service initiative. While Leiah and I won’t be able to join the service project at Trinity Lutheran (1904 Winnebago St, Madison) on Sunday, August 25, due to our send-off prayer at North Ridge Church, we hope our Orchard Church family will find time to participate either Sunday or Monday afternoon.

There are opportunities to support Lowell Elementary by assembling staff appreciation bags or serving lunch to welcome back the teachers. It’s a wonderful chance to give back. Sign up here for Sunday, August 25, or Monday, August 26.

 Ministry Needs

We’re earnestly praying for musicians, worship leaders, and anyone with a heart for serving who wants to be part of a new community with a vision to make a meaningful impact. If you’re passionate about using your talents to contribute to something special, we’d love to have you join us. Please share this opportunity with people you know or let us know of anyone seeking to share their musical gifts.
