THE MINISTER’S MUSINGS...

Dear Friends,

What does it mean to be a mem-

ber of a congregation? It can

mean different things for differ-

ent people.

For some, it is like belonging to a

social club. There is just a desire

to be among other mostly like-

minded people. There is a desire

to make connections, have fun.

And that is all.

For others, it is like a social

agency. It’s a place where they

can get a handout, or provide as-

sistance to those in need.

To others it means being among

a body of believers who have

claimed Jesus Christ as their

Lord and Savior, who desire to

worship God, nurture disciples,

and serve God’s people. They

desire to grow in their spiritual

walk. They desire to deepen

their understanding of who God

is and how God is present in

their lives.

There are those who strive to ful-

ly integrate their faith in their

daily living, who respond to God

by using their gifts and talents to

the glory of God, who provide of-

ferings to God to support the var-

ious ministries of the congrega-

tion in which God has led.

When new members join the

church, the motion usually put

before the Session is, “That

(Name) be received as a full com-

muning member of the congrega-

tion with all the rights, privileg-

es, and responsibilities that go

with that membership.”

I wonder… do you know what

your rights are as a member of

the congregation? Do you know

what privileges you have? How

about your responsibilities… do

you know what they are?

It might be interesting to check it

out in the New Testament as

well as the Presbyterian Church

Book of Order. It may make for

some interesting reading.

I am grateful that so many are a

part of our two congregation who

take seriously the meaning of

being members of the congrega-

tion.

Remember to love the Lord your

God, love your neighbor, serve

the Lord with gladness, be gener-

ous with your time, talent, and

financial offerings, worship God,

avoid temptation, and seek the

presence of the Lord wherever

you may be.

Sursum Corda,

Mark

Looking ahead we will begin Kidz Power Hour on May 12th.

Children in grades 1-6 will be invited to the fellowship hall dur-

ing Worship Service to have some fun and continue learning

about God’s word. Save the date!! VBS will be held June 10-14

from 6:00-8:30pm. We are planning to have a ROARing good

time! You can visit the church’s website to register by June 1st.

PROPERTY MINISTRY

First of all thank you to everyone that came out and helped make

the Church Cleanup Day a great success. By 9am on Saturday

the 13th of April we had a big crew together that was ready to get

busy cleaning the church. There were people working in the fel-

lowship hall cleaning the windows, testing smoke alarms and car-

bon monoxide detectors. People were checking outlets and emer-

gency exit signs, identifying which ones needed to be replaced. On

the outside of the church we had pressure washers going on the

exterior walls of the church and the sidewalks along with spray-

ing bleach on the sidewalks to give them a little extra sparkle.

Also there were people pruning bushes and sago palms. Then

there was a whole other crew working in the sanctuary cleaning

the bathrooms, pews and windows. We took a short break for

lunch where we had pizza and salads. All in all it was a great

day. Thank you again. – Greg Machmiller
