This last week was a full week with Bonnie being in class to become a Stephen Minister. Stephen Ministry is a lay ministry of caring, sharing and being with those who need someone to bring love and ministry to them in their time of struggle. It is also a great extension of the visitation ministry Pastors are called upon to do. She was commissioned on Saturday along with a number of others and it was a great honor that I got participate in that.
I have been truly blessed to be in a church that strives for mission. We are beginning the process of preparing for a Discipleship class that I hope will share what it means to be a Disciple of Christ and how the church can truly move in that journey to support those in the family who desire to strengthen their relationship with God. It is rewarding each week to see the key words of my sermon highlighted on the walls and to see the footsteps beginning to surround the sanctuary. There is always much work to be done but great strength and reward in doing it.
