Go and Make |
June 21, 2011 – Go! is a new blog created by ABC District's Executive for Outreach, Rev Dr Glenn Schaeffer, that is intended to be a venue to face challenges, pray for each other, share ideas and discuss issues related to the ministry of congregations, especially in the area of outreach. This is a forum for all Church workers and laity. The blog will: Many of us are out of our "comfort zone" when we think about doing "outreach" or being a "missionary", but these terms simply mean to communicate with others what we know about God. And, really, isn't that all we are supposed to do, simply be witnesses to what we know and tell others? And to assist those who want to know God better by helping them grow in faith through the Word and Sacraments so they too can be disciples of Jesus? All members, volunteers and workers are encouraged to visit Go! and be inspired and encouraged with thoughts and ideas for outreach. Both on a personal level and on a congregational level. |
