Spirit of Christ MCC

        ... the Pastor's Pen!

Are we just members or are we disciples?

We are called to be more and to deepen our relationship with Christ.  It is more than just the difference in sitting and actively doing.

Our primary relationship isn't with the church or even with each other but with Jesus.  We are all seekers and he leads the way.  To begin with I believe that the mission field doesn't just start outside the door but inside the church.  The role of each of us is to be the ministers of our God.  As our denomination proclaims the ministry of all believers so do we.

As we give of ourselves in this growing relationship we should dedicate ourselves to:

Praying daily

Scripture Reading daily

Worship Weekly

Grow in our giving in tithes and beyone

and

Tell our Faith Story with the unchurched... even those attending church.

A time of quiet peace.

Come anytime the building is open and find a quiet place to meditate and pray.

Pastor's Thoughts...

It has been a great week as we prepare to add three new members to our church this Sunday.

And do we dare to dream... so much is going on and God is in it all.  New downtown office, three new members, great praise and worship even during the adversity of our own community but as the Holy Spirit adds and guides us we dare to dream.

Comments during Fellowship last Sunday: people were commenting on how smooth the service went, what a blessing service was, visitors that really liked the service.  Come be empowered by our new style of worship.... it is all good because God is good.  And yes we are allowed to dream!!!

So many of you have ask about stretching our outreach and when ask what you can do to help you pull back... well, you ask and I am telling you it is OK to dream but you have to put some of your energy into it.

Know your turn is coming to help?  Will you dream and more importantly will you share your energy? 

God Bless!
