A congregation’s connection and commitment to its immediate neighborhood can serve as a true measure of its health. “What would the neighborhood miss about your church if it were no longer there? Would the community even notice?” We are a church connected to our neighborhood because that is a key way to demonstrate Christ’s love, a step to connecting more people with Jesus. How can we connect more and more to our community so that Christ’s love might spread? In what ways are you personally a link to Jesus for someone? What are ways that you can be “all in” as we connect for the sake of Christ and His mission?
Why “New Beginnings”? The Resurrection of Christ is the New Beginning, and as people of the Resurrection, He desires that we start new every day. Resurrection… Transformation… Reformation… Repentance and Absolution… are all new beginning words, and all are applicable to the Lord’s people today. To resist new beginnings in His grace is to resist the future He has in store for us as His people. And so we pray, and seek, and long for His new beginning among us in this day, at this time, in this place.
