WRITES
Greetings;
With every baptism
and every time some one joins the church,
we, the congregation
make the following response:
“As
members together with you in the body of Christ and in this congregation of
The
United Methodist Church, we renew our covenant faithfully to participate in the ministries of the church by our prayers, our presence, our gifts, our service,
and our witness, that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ.”
It will
necessarily take a life time to live into that response and to fully flesh it
out
in our
living. I’m extending the invitation to
each of you, to reflect on ways that you have and can participate in the ministries of the church.
My
prayers include: .
My
presence means: .
My gifts
are: .
My
service is: .
My
witness happens: .
Only you can fill in your blanks. If you don’t fill them in with the actions
and intentions of your heart and life, they will remain blank. I Thank You for
all of the ways that you participate in the ministries of the church. Together we are seeking to make a faithful
response to God. As the Griswold United
Methodist Church we have declared, in our Mission statement,
“To praise God and enrich the lives of
families and individuals by encouraging prayers, Bible study, and practical application of the teachings of Jesus.” Might we continue
to be open to God’s leading and guiding presence as we seek live out a
faith-filled response to God’s love and grace.
