Good Morning Friends,
It is Wednesday morning, and the week is flying past. This morning I asked God about our mission as a local Church, and his answer did not waver. We are to, "Go into all the world and preach the Gospel ..." (Matthew 28). This means forsaking the things of the past, we are to reach forward to the things that lie ahead "... toward the upward call of God in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 3:13).
As promised on Sunday last, here is the You Tube information that is well worth our time and attention. Admittedly this is about Churches that were dying, ours is not. But, we are still attempting to establish a means by which we can strengthen our Christian Community; become more relevant, and effectively reach into our geographic area of Saskatoon. Here in this piece are some strategies that can bring us closer to our local community, and create some potential opportunities to reach our world with the Gospel.
To find the piece, cut and paste: "The 7 Churches That Refused to Close — And What Every Dying Congregation Needs to Hear About" in the YouTube search box. It will be one of the most important 30 minutes in the life of our Church, and I believe for each one of us.
Friends, our Church building corner stone is dated 1963. The congregation has existed since 1962, and was characterized by prayer and faith. Can we do or be any less prayerful and dedicated?
So, as well as praying for our saints, please pray for God to reveal the way forward for Bay Park Baptist Church. How can we utilize our building to serve "the Lost?" How would God have us move in ministry toward the people of Saskatoon. Remember "Ministry" means "Servitude." Therefore. our combined prayer should be: "Lord please show us how to serve our commnunity." And then, in times spent in the Word and in prayer, listen to the voice of God as He describes the way forward.
This evening we meet for our Mid-week Bible Study in the Book of Jeremiah ch.27 the study this evening is called, "Violent History Ordained by God." Intrigued? Come and join us.
Friday at 6:30pm next week we will kick-off our Youth Group, and we are excited. All kids from gd.7 and up are welcome. If this is you please join us, or you have, or know teens in this age group, please let them know about this ministry re-start.
We are still looking for volunteers from our membership to attend the SBA Fall Meeting as delegates. This is an opportunity to help shape our association, and affect its operations for the two years ahead. This is a single commitment of one day given to the Kingdom for the benefit of our Churches in Saskatchewan.
I pray that you are experiencing supernatural expressions of God's Grace and Favor.
I will publish a prayer list later.
With Blessings and Grace,
Pastor Jerry
