Reflections From Sunday Evening

Today we had a 98% yes vote to proceed with our building project. There was a great turnout for our church conference. The atmosphere was positive. Pertinent questions were posed. Honest conversation took place. Michael Short did a fantastic job presenting the plans and responding to the questions. I could not be prouder of our church. This certainly does not close the book on our work. As a matter of fact the hard work lies before us. Continue to keep us in prayer as we to move forward. Today we begin to re-focus our mission. We GO out to plant seeds of the Gospel through word and deed. We share in ministries of mercy, service and justice. We plant seeds through witness. We OFFER CHRIST in multitudes of ways. We INVITE people to Come and See what God may do in the life that seeks Him. In our Wesleyan terms we invite people to come and experience the New Birth and enter the life of grace and Christian Discipleship. On another note... We began our series on STEPS IN TIME. It was a meaningful remembrance and celebration of those who have worked and served to bring our church to where we are. The music was GREAT. We remembered, celebrated our beginnings and anticipated our future. Next week we remember and celebrate the second phase in our development - the first classrooms and the 1960's! Don't miss it. It's been a great day. I hope you've had a great day too. steve
