September 5:15 LIFE

Last week, The Exchange had the opportunity to serve breakfast to the teachers at Pearl Junior High. We also made treat bags to give them at the breakfast. We met many new faces at the school, and we were able to tell them thank you for the investment they make in the lives of so many children everyday!

First Birthday Celebration!

It's hard to believe it's been a year since we first launched on August 12, 2012. In some ways it feels like we just got started, but when you take a look at all God has done in one year, it almost feels like five years! We are incredibly thankful to God for sending His people to be a part of The Exchange, growing them in His Word, teaching us to love our neighbors, and changing lives for eternity!

This past Sunday, we threw a party as a way to celebrate all God has done over the past year. Below are some pictures from the day.

You can also watch some highlights of our first year of ministry.

It's a Party!

August 12, 2012 not only was a brand new church started but God launched a movement of people to live as the church with the one mission of seeing people exchange their old life for new life in Christ and live out their purpose. Sunday, August 11th The Exchange will celebrate its first birthday and also the official opening of their new meeting space located at 417 N. Bierdeman Road (behind Trustmark Bank). It will definitely be a day to celebrate! Everything starts at 10:30am with the Gathering and KidLIFE & LittleLIFE activities (for ages birth-5th grade) followed by inflatables, refreshments, and fun for the whole family. Invite a friend and be a part of the celebration!

New Permanent Meeting Space

We continue to be humbled and amazed by the things God is doing with The Exchange. On the brink of our one-year anniversary as a church body, God is getting ready to birth even more ministry opportunities for us. Our meeting spaces have been portable from the beginning, meaning we set up our meeting space and tear it down each week. This has meant long labor hours for our people and limited opportunities for our children and students. Now, as we are nearing the end of months of renovations to our permanent meeting space, we are making final preparations to expand our family ministries and let our city know we are here to stay! We're excited to announce our first gathering in our new meeting space will be July 21st. The new space is located at 417 N. Bierdeman Road in Pearl right behind Trustmark Bank. We will keep you updated on news and pictures over the next few weeks as we near our public launch on August 11th.

June 5:15 LIFE

Saturday was a beautiful day to serve our community through 5:15 LIFE! The temperature was a cool 80 degrees; cool for our normal Mississippi summer temps, at least. Many people showed up to serve our local Center for Pregnancy Choices and our local Center for Violence Prevention's Second Chance Store. From kids to adults, there was plenty to be done and everyone pitched in!

God Is...

Week to week, we gather together to worship God, but we all have different ideas of who the God we're worshipping really is. From His character traits to how He interacts with us on a daily basis, join us as we uncover who God is during the month of June - Sunday mornings at 10:30am at Pearl Lower Elementary.

Pearl Day 2013

The Exchange hosted a Photo Booth at Pearl Day this past weekend where families and individuals could grab some props and take a silly picture. We had a great time meeting new people in the community and took some great pictures!  Check out the photo booth photos on Facebook.

We also handed out orange Exchange balloons and applied free temporary tattoos which were a big hit!

It was the hottest day of the year so far, but we had a great time! Thanks to everyone who volunteered their time to help make our booth a success!
