U MATTERS
In his book Mere Christianity, C. S. Lewis wrote:
“One must train the habit of Faith [by making] sure that … some of its main doctrines shall be deliberately held before your mind for some time every day. That is why daily prayers and religious reading and church-going are necessary parts of the Christian life. We have to be continually reminded of what we believe. Neither this belief nor any other will automatically remain alive in the mind. It must be fed.”
It has been exciting to meet people in-person each week who have been faithfully worshipping with us online - people we have not seen in months if not a year. Whether we are worshipping weekly online or coming to in-person worship, I am struck by the comment, “we have to be continually reminded of what we believe.”
Each week our ministry staff work hard to feed our congregation. Jacklien, Hunter and Dan prepare weekly opportunities to nurture faith in Christ. Pastor Ruth has trained and equipped leaders - leaders who pray, leaders who teach and encourage. Our small group leaders prepare lessons and provide weekly gatherings for us to learn and build community. It is our hope that you plug into some of these wonderful opportunities and remain connected!
“And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.” Hebrews 10:24-25
