Temple Veil Concert & Encounter Meet & Greet

As part of an Awesome April on Good Friday of Easter weekend, Encounter was pleased to host the amazing musical duo, recording artist Temple Veil.

The Evening Concert also billed as an Encounter Meet & Greet at our new Pattern House location, was a complete success.

Subway sandwiches, chips, and drinks were on the menu as well as some great conversation before the free concert. It was also a blessing to see 11 new guests come check out the concert and Encounter.

This was the second time Temple Veil played for Encounter, and we were again blown away by the raw acoustic talents of Brysson on the acoutsic guitar and DeRock on the violin, keys and vocals. Seriously awesome stuff!

Kid's Spring Fest 2011 at Pioneer Park

This last Saturday, Encounter helped Downtown Helena usher in Spring at the first ever Kids Spring Fest at Pioneer Park.

A group of volunteers primarily from Encounter hosted a free kids bounce house. and gave away over 250 bags of popcorn, nearly 400 servings of cotton candy, and around 350 Tootsie Pops.

An estimated 600 kids and their parents came out for the event!

What an awesome way to serve our community. As part of our effort to a "burning bush" in Helena, this is just another way to be a church that is not just IN Helena, but FOR Helena!

Prayer Walk & Meeting Neighbors

At Encounter, we are an outward-focused church. As we grow together inwardly, we must never forget that we are here to help others know Jesus.

On April 10, we cancelled our Worship Gathering specifically to pray for and walk the neighborhoods near our new gathering location, the Pattern House.

On Saturday, April 9, we prayed over nearly 70 households giving away small flyers and free Tootsie to individuals. And then on Sunday, April 10, we covered even more of the neighborhood with over 200 more households.
