News from The Church of the Master
FROM OUR PASTOR…
Dear Friends,
June and the summer are arriving. We have graduations coming, along with at least one wedding! Some of you are taking trips, some of you will be going to the beach and the shore, and some of you will be joining the pools, or opening up your own pools in your back yards.
It
is a slower time, or should be a slower time for all of us! It may also be a time to spend more time
thinking about your discipleship, and just maybe you can spend more time on the
most important relationship you will ever have.
Your relationship with the Messiah, Jesus our Christ and our Savior,
Jesus our “bestest” friend.
Even as you take time to relax more this summer, remember that Jesus likes to relax with you! Our Beloved God loves us dearly and wants to pour blessings out upon us. Look for the blessings every day. Rest in the care of our Savior, the Redeemer of the world.
And while you take time to refresh and “re-coop” you also might want to think about ways your discipleship can be lived out in ministries in the church and outside the church. Yes, here is the sales pitch! But the sales pitch means that if you pray about ministries, and you are led by the Spirit into a particular ministry, you will know great blessings from working for and with and in Christ. What an honor! Helping Jesus brings the greatest blessings.
A few positions are open if you would consider them. Newsletter Coordinator/Editor, Sunday School Superintendent, Teacher- Middle Elementary (2/3 grade), Assistant – Middle Elementary (2/3/grade), and Assistant – Upper Elementary (4/5 grade). We also could use more assistants for youth group, especially men for the Junior Youth Group would be a great help to work with Laura Gesin our Youth Director.
Kathie has held the newsletter position for some years now and is ready to move on! Barb is also ready to continue her ministry journey in a different area than Sunday School Superintendent. They have both done great jobs, and we thank them!
So while you are enjoying your summer, open your heart to Christ’s leading. Maybe Jesus will lead you in other areas of ministry, but know that wherever you are led by the Spirit, it will be the best place to be!
Shalom,
Pastor Shelley
