Vision is the ability to see. Have you ever thought about how a child sees things in relation to God? Recently I received some questions & thoughts from children to God...
“Dear God, I went to this wedding and they kissed right in church. Is that ok?”
“Dear God, Instead of letting people die and having to make new ones why don’t you just keep the ones you got now?”
“Dear God, I bet it is very hard for you to love all of everybody in the whole world. There are only 4 people in our family and I can never do it.”
“Dear God, Maybe Cain and Abel would not kill each other so much if they had their own rooms. It works with my brother.”
Vision can be funny and it can be wrong. I want to help our vision concerning Fellowship Church. Prayerfully everything that we do involves at least one of the following:
1. Leading others to become followers of Jesus (evangelism).
2. Helping those that are followers of Jesus to know Him better (discipleship).
We seek to accomplish this in a variety of ways: We pray together. We worship together. We serve together. We study the Bible together. We reach out to others together. We give together. This all leads me to a final component:
3. Togetherness in all that we do (fellowship).
Through everything that we do we are becoming a place where REAL relationships begin! We want this to happen through our Women’s Conference May 13 & 14, our New 3-week Bible Study Class on May 15, 22, & 29, VBS on July 18-22, One Story Live from Bethlehem on December 10 & 11, Small Groups that are meeting every week in homes, and Missions in India!
Evangelism, Discipleship, and Fellowship - that is the vision!
