The Future of our Church Body

Our Denomination (The Church of the Lutheran Brethren) has released a couple of really well done videos describing the goals for our future. At our last Annual Convention we voted for the changes being described and I for one am excited.

The first video about 'The Church as Family' was actually personally convicting for me as I was reminded of some of my own failures in emphasizing this important aspect of Church life. Recently, Victoria Community has sought to address these shortcomings (more regular contact between Church members, seeking to make more new members, refreshments and meals after Sunday morning services, the 90 day Bible challenge, and more regular Bible study groups). May the Lord draw us nearer to Him and to one another as a family locally, regionally, nationally, and globally, that we might effectively accomplish His mission to bring the gospel to all the world!

The second video is all about the new 'Regional Pastor' that will work with the various congregations to accomplish God's mission more effectively together. Again, in my mind, a very positive development:

Once again, Micah Nordvedt has done an excellent(!)job creating these informative videos. What a blessing to have his talents used for our benefit.
