A Church on Mission
It’s thrilling to be part of the kingdom of God. God welcomes us into His church, “Just as I am” as the old hymn says. We enter into this kingdom and God calls us to grow “in Christ.”
• 3 people baptized into Christ: Jonathan Kessler, Cheyenne Welch, Stefan Paic
• The Reach Project happened Wednesday night. There were hundreds of hygiene bags put together to send to Haiti by individuals and families in a very overcrowded and packed room. Great job. Thanks to Janette Keller and Julie Crockett for organizing this.
• Women studying the Bible through the summer
• Worship Team practicing
• Nearly 60 high school students at the residential lake where Tim and Kim Myers live
• Mission group leaving Thursday for Joplin
• Group of servants going to help work on facilities at a new church camp
Friends, we don’t ever want to exclusively measure ministry by activity (I’ve seen ministries that have tons of activities that don’t look like the bride of Christ in attitude or action – but lots of activities). All that was just mentioned resembles the activity of Christ. Helping the poor. Spending time in the word of God. Having fellowship in the name of God. Serving others. Preaching and teaching the word of God. All these align with the purpose of Christ.
This Sunday we continue looking at our “Before and After” “in Christ.” We’ll be in Ephesians 1 once again talking about having our “Eyes wide shut/open.” We look forward to worshipping with all of you Sunday.
