A Holy Urgency — Looking Forward to Sunday
April 24, 2026
Church Family,
There’s a kind of urgency that comes from pressure—but that’s not what I’m sensing for us right now.
What I feel is a holy urgency.
A quiet, steady reminder that what matters most—Jesus, people, and eternity—can’t be put off for another day. It’s the kind of urgency that draws us closer, softens our hearts, and calls us to live with intention.
It reminds us:
not to let our love for Jesus grow cold
not to delay when the Spirit is prompting
not to assume we’ll always have another opportunity
This isn’t about doing more—it’s about not missing what matters most.
As we gather this Sunday, my prayer is simple: that we would slow down enough to hear Jesus clearly… that He would encourage us, gently correct us, and draw us back to that first love.
I’m really looking forward to worshiping together—Ringgold and GC3 as one family. I believe God has something meaningful for us, and I don’t want any of us to miss it.
Come ready. Come expectant. y

ONEvite: Who’s Your One?
As we step into this new season, I want to invite you into something close to the heart of God—people.
We are focussing on ONEvite: Who Is Your One?—a simple, intentional call to focus on one person God has placed in your life. One person to lift up in prayer, to care for, and to gently point toward Jesus.
This is how the gospel has always moved—through relationships, through love, through faithful obedience in the everyday moments.
Would you begin asking the Lord now, “Who is my one?” And as He brings someone to mind, trust Him enough to take the next step.
I’m praying for you—and for the one God places on your heart.
Moving Forward Together
There have been a couple of recent changes you’ve noticed on Sunday mornings at Ringgold—our main entry through the gym doors and the added security measures.
First, thank you. Your flexibility, patience, and servant-hearted attitude have not gone unnoticed. Change isn’t always easy, especially when it touches привычные rhythms, but your willingness to move forward together says a lot about who we are as a church.
These updates are not just logistical—they are deeply missional.
By entering through the gym doors, we are creating space and clarity for guests and making room for continued growth. Every step you take is helping make it easier for someone new to walk in and experience the love of Christ. There’s also something meaningful about entering under the cross each week—a quiet reminder that we gather because of Jesus and for Jesus.
Our increased security is rooted in that same heart. Not fear—but love. We want every person, from our children to our seniors, to feel safe, cared for, and able to worship with peace of mind. As God continues to entrust more people to our church family, we want to steward that responsibility well.
Through it all, our heart remains unchanged: to be a warm, welcoming place where broken lives are mended by Christ.
Thank you for being a church that not only opens its doors—but opens its heart. What God is doing among us is special, and I’m grateful to walk this journey with you.
With Gratitude,
Don Conley
