Love Prevails -- More Info




September 11, 2001

We all remember where we were and what we were doing.

3,000 lives were lost that day. America was changed forever.

Many of us gave sacrifically to help the families impacted by the terrorist strikes.

Ten years later it is clear…

Love Prevails
Out of the rubble, God is bringing good.

Since 2001 Orchard Group has been involved with -

12 new churches in the New York City area

24 new churches around the northeast region

Over 2,000 baptisms

September 11, 2011 falls on a Sunday. Mark an anniversary of sorrow with a message of hope – Love Prevails!

One way in which we will be encouraging churches to participate is by receiving an offering on September 11, 2011 so more new churches can join those already thriving in New York and Washington and Pennsylvania.

Videos and print materials will soon be available to your church for that memorable anniversary.

Love Prevails - September 11, 2011

September 11 of this year will mark the 10th Anniversary of the terrorist attacks in New York City and Washington, DC. September 11 is also a Sunday this year.

"Love Prevails" is Orchard Group's way of honoring the tenth anniversary of that day by celebrating kingdom things that have happened in the region since that day (maybe even somewhat because of that day). It will also be our way of looking forward to planting more new churches for this region of the country and seeing New York become a staging center for new church planting in other global urban centers.

I just spent several days in New York City with the rest of the Orchard Group Team planning and preparing for Love Prevails. I hope that you and your church will be part of it on September 11. More to come . . . .
