Sunday we were incredibly blessed to have Karen Huxter with us, sharing about the H.A.T.S. (Hands Across The Sea) mission work that she is a part of. Our church, as well as individual families, has been a long time supporter of Karen and that mission field. It was so clear during her presentation that the anointing of God was upon her as she shared some of the harsh realities of life in Haiti.
As I shared in the Sunday Evening service, the overwhelming thought I had after Karen’s presentation was “Now what?” How do we expose ourselves to that kind of reality, and in light of the Gospel, and yet do nothing? I believe that there is no way that God has entrusted us with so much resources just purely for our own enjoyment- we were meant to distribute it for His glory. So I ask you as individual families, what can you do to make a difference in world missions, locally and globally?
It’s hard to believe that we are looking around the corner to September. We are enjoying our summer to the full, but we do realize that the Fall Ministries will be starting up before long. Please take some time to consider what ministries God would have you serve in. One of our core beliefs is that every Christian is given gifts to serve in the body! We have a wide range of ministries and positions for you to consider. If you have been considering, but want to talk about some specific details, please contact the appropriate pastor.
And just as a reminder, here’s what the pastors oversee;
- Dave Wilcox (Sr. Pastor)- Connection Center, Ushers, Greeters, Best Years Fellowship, Men’s Ministry
- Dawn Wilcox (Children’s Pastor)- Kids Church, Mini Church, Nursery, Kids Club
- AJ Plaizier (Assistant Pastor)- Small Group/Adult Discipleship Classes, Visitation, Missions, Women’s Ministry, Van Ministry, Connections, Community Kitchen,
- Kyle Belden (Youth Pastor)- Youth Ministry, Music Ministry, Sound/Computer Ministry
- Greg Scott (Intern)- Assisting in Youth Ministry and Connections
If one of these weekly ministries catches your attention, we would love to talk with you further about that and find the right fit for you.
