THE GEORGIANNA WAY
It's a very common thought among church members, that Pastors are the ones who are to do all the ministering. But according to God's plan, as revealed in his Word, ALL believers are ministers. In his letter to the Corinthians, the Apostle Paul instructs the church that Christ has given to all the saints, the ministry of reconciliation. Paul goes on to say that as believers, we have been authorized by Christ to be his ambassadors, making an appeal on his behalf.
The Word of God makes it very clear that ALL the saints have been called into ministry, not just ordained Pastors. The God-ordained purpose of the church is to make Christ known to all the world (the Great Commission). And we can only do this if every member of the body is doing the work that God has prepared in advance for us to do.
Each of us has an equally important role to play in the body of Christ, and when one member fails to do their part, the body suffers. Join us Sunday as we look at how we can glorify God and make him known in this dark world simply by doing what he has instructed us to do, which of course, is the Georgianna Way!
NOTICE:
We now have chairs with arms on the back row of the sanctuary for our members who need assistance in sitting down and getting up. Please be considerate and save the chairs with arms for those who really need them.
