This
righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who
believe. There is no difference for all
have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his
grace through redemption that came by Christ Jesus. – Romans

Dear Friends, I am so excited about the month of
August. The Lay Renewal highlights the
fact that God is doing a new and powerful work among us. Lives are being
touched and changed. The Spirit is
moving in new and fresh ways. This month
I’d like to share one of those new ways the Spirit is at work. It’s through a new ministry we’re beginning
called Stephen Ministry. Some of you
are familiar with it, others are not. The
Stephen Series trains and organizes laypeople to do caring ministry. Bob and Diane Gordon and Ina Jones will be
attending an intensive seven day Leader’s Training Course in Pittsburgh and
will then return to train some of our members to be Stephen Ministers. The goal of the ministry is for us to live
Christ’s love in a greater more effective way. More information will be in the bulletin
and e-mails and when they return we intend to give them the opportunity to
share the ministry with you. I ask
that you keep Bob, Diane and Ina in your prayers as they prepare to lead us
in Stephen Ministry. See you in church. Peace, Tim |
