There are many companies that can run a DNA profile on you and tell you what genetic characteristics you have. They do that by mapping your genes. Then they compare your characteristics with others around the world to tell you where you came from. Fun!
Well, we can map the DNA of the church, too. We do it by telling stories about how God has touched us and blessed us through his church at Village. We did that on Sunday night, January 21, at our “Love Your Church” potluck dinner and discussion. We reminisced about the good things our church is known for. We told stories about the times we were most proud of our church. What emerged was a profile of our church’s DNA. (We will publish a summary of our discussion soon.)
We praise and thank the Lord for the good things God has done in our church through the years. Paul says, “To God be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.” –Ephesians 3:21 Paul is saying that the credit for the good things done in the church belongs to the Lord. By his Spirit, he has empowered us to make VPC a great place to worship and work for Christ.
So, let us rejoice that God has blessed Village Presbyterian and that we could be a part of his body of believers here. But now we must all keep working and praying to ensure that the church’s future is even brighter than our past.
Please plan to attend the “Envisioning our Future” chili dinner and table discussion on Sunday, February 18, 5 pm. Make your favorite chili and then share your thoughts on what God wants Village Presbyterian to become in the future. Look for a letter in the mail with your personal invitation. Please read it carefully. WE NEED YOU to participate!
Yours in Christ,
Ken Shick, Interim Pastor
