Hello everyone! Welcome to our first run at a blog for our church family.  I'm sure we'll adapt and change things very often and that's the idea! 

We decided we needed to start a blog for our congregation as we read Reaching People under 40 while Keeping People over 60 by Edward H. Hammett with James R. Pierce.  We're trying to be church for all generations--reaching out to a younger generation, while, simultaneously, honoring and preserving our rich heritage.  It's a journey. It's a process. We're prepared to step into it because we've already changed for the better in many tangible and intangible ways.  Of course--it doesn't make sense to change for the sake of change. We've got our focus on Jesus Christ and we will change as the Holy Spirit guides us.

We'll use the blog for updates on church activities and information. Maybe part of our future worship services will be answering or speaking to issues raised on the blog. This is not supposed to be a clean-cut, neat and tidy kind of blog. We want to ask questions that raise eyebrows because they are the questions on our hearts. We want you to raise issues that make us happy and proud, but also the issues that make us step back and think. This is for furthering Christ's ministry and understanding how our lives mirror that of the most Holy God.

If we don't ask the questions and spread the word, we won't be doing the work we were created to accomplish.  This blog is founded on biblical principal: "I tell You," Jesus said, "if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out."  Luke 19:40.(NIV) We will not be silent.
