As I write this, the full signs of spring are upon
us. The temperature is up and the trees are beginning
to leaf out. Everything seems to be growing. To make
that last statement gives me pause for the moment.
Can we apply the realities of spring to the life of
the church and where we seek to be moving? I believe
that we can. We have recently had three additions to
our membership by transfer of membership. Prayer
triads have completed their work and some are
continuing as we seek to birth new small groups to give
new opportunities for fellowship and growth.
We will soon have a congregational
mission/vision statement that will begin to allow our
church leadership to move to the next step of
transition, the search process. To do that, the
Reverend Steve Bentley, Associate Regional Minister
will be invited to meet with our Board so that he can
fully help us understand the next steps of writing a
congregational profile and moving ahead to designate a
search committee.
Let me invite you to prayerfully consider whom
you might bring to church to introduce them to First
Christian. You are Christ’s ambassadors to share the
good news of his saving grace. You do that simply by
touching another’s life in friendship and fellowship.
Allow me to close by saying how much of a
delight it is to be your interim pastor.
With His Love,
Pastor Nik
