The times we are living in provide an opportunity like never before to rethink who we are and the way we do church. We are pressed to ask the question, "Why are we here?"
“I will make you a light for the Gentiles, that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth.” Is.49:6
As we change our ministry practices during the pandemic, it is vital that we start with prayer for our missional purpose as a church body. Here some questions we can ask:
- How do we discern and pray for our community?
- How do we pray about the giving of the church?
- How do we change, shift, or pivot during this time?
- How do we focus? What do we stop doing and what do we start doing?
- How can we see what God might be saying to us in these things?
As we focus on the connection between prayer and mission in this newsletter, let us dedicate ourselves to being light for those who need to know Jesus.
