From the Pastor

In the bond of peace and love, the Holy Spirit unites us to God the Father and the Son.  The Holy Spirit also unites us to one another (2 Corinthians 11:11-13).  We are caught up in the move of God’s desire to have fellowship with us through Christ and the leading of the Holy Spirit.

God is open to friendship with us, invites us to participate in the move of God’s love in the world by sharing God’s love with the world.  May we invite others to commune with God and others through Christ and the Holy Spirit.  May we keep fulfilling the great commission to go into all the world to make disciples and baptize them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit has joined us together to bear witness to God’s love in the world as it was revealed in Jesus Christ. We cannot do this alone: We need each other in the body of Christ, and each one of you has a place in this mission of Christ’s Church (1 Corinthians 12:4-7, 12-14). I challenge you not to leave the work of Christ’s Church to its ministers or other Church members. I challenge you to explore and activate the talents God has given you to share in Christ’s Church.

If you are not attending or have a connection with a local congregation of Christ’s Church, I encourage you to do so. Each congregation has a place in the one, universal Church, and each of you has a place in a local congregation of Christ’s Church. Each congregation is equally important and equally needed in Christ’s Church. Each individual is equally important and equally needed in Christ’s Church.
