I was with an old friend today who is an active layperson in one of our churches. We had a nice time catching up with each others' lives. I also had the opportunity to share some of the cool ministries I've witnessed as a DS in some of our churches...ministries both inside and outside the walls of our church buildings. I was bragging on the UM Church and sharing the good news of what God is up to in our midst.
I believe that this is part of the culture we are seeking to develop in the Northwest District which by the way officially is birthed January 1, 2010. It is a culture which involves sharing the good news of the kingdom of God that is happening through our churches. It involves hearing about the many ways hungry people are being fed, churches are connecting to make a difference, people giving their lives to become like Christ, children and the youth of the community are being served, and the mission of Christ's church is moving forward.
This blog seeks to help us get our mission accomplished. Part of doing that is sharing the good news stories of God at work in our midst....stories which will inform, inspire, challenge, and keep us connected and focused on the mission.
Together, we will be mission minded in the Northwest District.
In the name of Jesus, Amen.
