LIVE THE VISION- We are asking you today to take the 5×8 card inserted in your bulletin and answer the question poised on it “WHAT DOES LIVING THE MISSION MEAN TO YOU”. You might think about where and how you are spending your time. How are you serving the congregation and the community? How are you serving God in your daily life with your talents? How do you use those talents not only in church but in your vocations? As you think about your gifts of money you might consider not only your giving to the church but to multiple places where your money is going to God’s mission to the world outside our church.
