Greetings everyone!
This is my first post (Erin dangerously gave me the password, so watch out!). We had a great Learning Ministry Meeting last night and have a host of ways that YOU can help our children grow in faith. Take a look at this adorable video of how important what you do in our church can be, then watch for the list of opportunities in this month’s lamplighter!

Many, Many, Many Thanks goes out to Andrew Atkinson on the wonderful job he did with the Conformation, Oops, I mean Confirmation Class.

They were Christ’s final words to us:
“… All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” (Matthew 28:18–20)
Recorded in Scripture. Handed down through the ages. The call remains: Go. Make disciples. Teach them. Remember. And so we commit anew to Grow Christ’s Church Deep & Wide.
Grow in Evangelism: Share the good news of Jesus Christ. Invite persons to join in the church’s worship and fellowship. Baptize children and adults.
Grow in Discipleship: Rediscover Scripture, including daily reading and study. Nurture relationships with Jesus Christ in the context of our Reformed heritage.
Grow in Servanthood: Stand alongside the wider community to promote the well-being and love of neighbor. Embrace stewardship in all of life.
Grow in Diversity: Welcome everyone. Learn from others. Reflect the cultural and ethnic diversity of God’s peoples in the world.
