Here\u2019s a question for all of us:\u00a0 How are you living out the mission of\u00a0 \u201cmaking disciples for Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world?\u201d\u00a0 What does that look like for you?\u00a0 What is YOUR vision for living out this mission of our church?<\/p>\n
For some, it may be working with kids, teaching and\/or mentoring them. Maybe, like Jerry Jensen, your teach or help kids learn about something other than Christian faith (like physics), but at the same time, you demonstrate the character of a Christian to the kids and enable them to see what being a Christian looks like.<\/p>\n
Maybe you\u2019re retired, and your vision for living out this mission is inter-relating with neighbors and friends, sharing your life and your faith in the process. Maybe you are purposely mentoring a person who is younger in faith than you are, helping them to negotiate the challenges of life as a follower of Jesus.\u00a0 Or maybe you are working with neighbors to help keep each other safe and to
\nimprove the lives of the people in your neighborhood.\u00a0 Always remember that as a follower of Jesus, you are \u201calways on\u201d in witnessing to what Jesus has done in your life. You can\u2019t take a \u201cday off\u201d from that!<\/p>\n
Or maybe you are involved in one or more of our ministries here at the Fount\u2014 everybody should be!\u00a0 Do you work with Welcome Home or at the Preschool at The Fount?\u00a0 Are you involved in the worship ministries?\u00a0 Maybe you help usher, or sing in the choir, or lead as a worship host?\u00a0 Whatever you do, it isn\u2019t just about the work, it is also about the witness.\u00a0 Each person you meet deserves to see what Jesus has done in your life to transform you into the Christian you are and are becoming.<\/p>\n
If we can all start to think in these terms, we will find that our church\u2019s life will deepen and thrive. We are a small congregation, but our God is a Great, Big God!<\/p>\n
How are you \u201cmaking disciples for Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world\u201d?<\/p>\n
Easter Blessings,<\/p>\n
Pastor Glen<\/p>\n
