Contexts
for Mission
As a church we are
engaged in specific mission in the following ways.
Local
Children
are taught the Gospel at Clovelly Public School Scripture sessions on
Tuesday mornings.
Local
Families
are contacted through baptism/ marriage preparation, and through Family
Services, which also build a link between the School children, the church,
and their families.
Remembrance
Day Service and RSL contact
gives us a link with ex-service people and their families.
Prayer
Ministry
enables us to contact people at the point of ministry for personal needs.
Healing
Ministry following the Sunday service enables us to share with
people at another point of need.
Distribution
of Literature and Jesus Videos
brings further scope for contact.
Encouragement
of members who take up opportunities related to their life style.
Some have led people to Christ in their place of work. Others have done
so through contacts with friends in their social context and local community.
Encouragement
to live a winsome life-style.
We encourage people to help roll-back the negative heritage that many
have received through rough handling and even abuse by churches or church
institutions. Legalism, also. and religious formalism have done countless
damage. The result is that many have apparently
rejected Christianity without having really heard the Gospel of Jesus!
When Christians and churches can reflect the love, attitudes and actions
of Jesus of Nazareth, many people will be surprised by joy.
Planting
Seed is Mission
Don’t wait for Harvest
before planting more! Never underestimate the significance of even the
slightest amount of verbal Christian communication, when it is shared
with compassion, authenticity and integrity.
