Dear Church Family,
What does church mean to you? What do you miss about not going to church?
Who is Jesus to you?
Those are some of the questions we talked about in my final
class with six great students. We have
been meeting for several months in what we call a “profession of faith”
class. These six young people would like
to stand up and say that they love Jesus and want to live for him. And they want to do that publicly. That’s the tricky part!
Romans 10:9 says this:
“If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your
heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” That’s a pretty
awesome promise. Is it that simple? Yes,
it is. And these students want to do
this.
We’ll probably wait for the “public profession” part until
we can gather in church again. I hope to
come back to Ancaster for that event. In the meantime, my heart is full, knowing that these
students believe that Jesus is Lord and that God raised him from the dead. What a joy, to get to know them. They got to
know me a bit better too. A couple of them admitted that they were a bit
nervous when we started our classes. But
in the words of one young woman, “it was pretty chill.”
Have a great day everyone, and “be chill.”
Pastor Rita
