CREATING A BUZZ WHEREVER WE GO

Hi!

This is a vision to ignite you into being all you were designed to be the best you could ever be. Its a vision to see you expecting great things from your God, confident in His grace and favour, allowing His dream for the world to capture your imagination and heart. Its a vision to see you move from just being a Buzz Creator to becoming a Buzz Connector, connecting people to the heart of God , to each other, to His family and to their God-given future.

Its a vision to see many become Buzz Ambassadors, using all of their talents and giftings to become fire-starters, forerunners and future leaders of the greatest movement our world has ever seen the real Church in motion! This, Hope City, is The Art Of Buzz.

Jesus and his disciples had gained a reputation for liking food. So much so, the religious people made the claim that Jesus was a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners. (Luke 7:34). I suspect if it wasnt for all of the walking they did, the disciples would have had a slight problem with their weight! Their reputation wasnt helped by the first ever miracle of Jesus the turning of water into 600 litres of wine. Why did Jesus do that? What was it about Jesus love of parties that gained him his warped reputation? He used food to cement his relationship with Matthew the tax collector and to bridge the gap with all his mates. (Luke 5:2731). He used food to affirm salvation with Zacchaeus (Luke 19:510). He used food to commemorate the

BUZZCREATORS

They once said to Jesus - Johns disciples often fast and pray, and so do the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours go on eating and drinking. (Luke 5:33)
Passover and to say his goodbye to his disciples at The Last Supper, and he used food a good, hearty fry up - to reinstate Peter back into the fold. Jesus mission was clear to seek and save that which was lost (Luke 19:10). And now his method was clear to use miracles (to capture the imagination) and food (to pave the way). Food, glorious food was the Jesus Way of reaching out. And we must do the same!

1. Everyone is up for a meal. A lot of people who would say no to attending a church event would say yes if invited out for a meal with you! 2. It makes you real. Food is a relaxer and shows off more of the real you. 3. It frees up the conversation. Food makes it less one tracked, less direct, more free flowing and much easier to do. Its agenda free. 4. Its an act of generosity. Its a present a gift in a culture that finds it hard to receive gifts.

THE Theology of food

7. Everyone gets hungry. With over 21 opportunities a week and over 1000 meals a year, there are a lot of conversations to be had!

OUR GOAL THIS YEAR IS TO RAISE 150,000 ACROSS ALL OUR CONGREGATIONS. 75,000 will be to reduce our mortgage on our Sheffield and Leeds Megacentres. 75,000 will be to create a new Megacentre for our Liverpool Congregation. Weve seen a building next to Liverpool One - in the heart of Liverpool thats ready for leasing but will need a new internal layout. Its a perfect address for Hope City - and its through this place (that used to be a mission for seafarers) that we could see incredible growth and outstanding outreach.

The Rise and Build offering is one of our two annual offerings in Hope City. Its a purpose driven offering, specifically linked to our buildings and future facilities.
