Senior Leadership Meeting

This is what our campus pastors do during the week.  They have intense doctrinal discussions and argue over which campus is larger and more significant.  They do this so much they have no time for haircuts.  (They’re wearing wigs… just in case you don’t know them!)

Dr. Jerry Savelle at Invigorate West County

Last week we had the privilege of hosting Dr. Jerry Savelle. Wow! What an incredible man of faith! He was such a blessing to Invigorate Church and the other believers that came out that night. He brought an awesome word reminding us that we are more than conquerors! One of our favorite quotes from the night was “If you can’t speak The Word… Then shut up!”

Invigorate Spotlight…

We love to bring attention to individuals who are making a difference in the Kingdom of God and in the world around them. This week we thought we would take some time to honor Lou and Denise Lenz. Lou and Denise have been serving at invigorate for about two years now. They have such a heart for the next generation and it shows! Among many of the responsibilities that they have taken on here at invigorate one stands out and that is our service in State Park, IL. What started as an outreach has turned into a full service reaching about 30-40 people a week, the large majority of which are children. They are meeting needs and seeing God change lives and effect an entire community! Lou and Denise, you are amazing! We love you guys and can’t wait to see the awesome things that God has in store for you this coming year!

Testimony from Overseas…

We received a really encouraging email this past week so we thought we would share it.

“So I’ve been listening to your services for quite a while now and they have been a big blessing in my life. I live out of the country so my family has been sending them on disc, but now you have them online so it’s much easier. Well, I don’t have a church to go to, so i’m basically alone with my bible, and I just kinda pick it up a couple times a day and read some random script from the NT. Which yesterday happened to be the corinthians part talking about tongues and gifts of the spirit. After I read it i was like well that’s not really for me so next page… And then this morning I woke up really early and couldn’t go to sleep again, so i checked your sermon on tongues and wow! It really made think how stupid I was for just thinking that the holy spirit’s gifts and whatnot aren’t really for me, but you opened my eyes, so I guess now I’ll just keep waiting and desiring….. So thanks and keep up the good work! “

Cahokia School Renovation

Hey Invigorate, last year we helped out two schools in our city by improving their campuses.  We painted, re-landscaped, built a pond, poured new concrete pathways… we spared no expense.  We had leaders from the community come out and thank us last year during and after it was completed but we just received this email this morning that shows that what we did last year made a lasting impression.  How fantastic it is to be part of a generous church.  We had no agenda…we just wanted to help our communities!!

Take a look at our before and after pictures!!

“I want to thank you so much for the beautification you provided last year at Huffman Elementary School.  It really added a beautiful attractiveness to the school that everyone whom enters adore.  I just wanted to send you an email to say I really appreciated all your hard work with you and your team whom supported you.”
