Pastor's Weekly Message
Dear Church Family,
Vision, purpose and mission are important. They are the things that point us towards the future and give us motivation in the present. The Bible tells us that Jesus fulfilled His mission on the cross through the motivation of the joy that awaited Him (Hebrews 12:1-2). Yes, looking forward gives meaning to our actions in the present and provides strength for the journey.
The elder board of our church has been giving time, prayer and thought to our future here at SHCC. We are looking forward to the year 2014 as a significant milestone in the life of our fellowship. There are various reasons that will make it a year of significance. We will discuss them in the days ahead, but a key one is the fact that in 2014 the church mortgage will be paid off! What a blessing it will be to see these funds freed up for new Kingdom purposes! We thank the Lord for the building in which we meet. Also, we honor the vision and efforts of the former SHCC leaders who built it. This facility serves a vital function in the ministry of the church. It will be so wonderful, though, to own this building debt free and not face the monthly mortgage payment of $5,200. The elders want to be good stewards of these funds that will become available in just four short years. We want to plan and prepare to make effective use of them for God's purposes.
With this in mind, we will launch Vision 2014 this September. Vision 2014 will reinforce the mission statement of our church. That statement says "The Mission of South Hill Christian Church is to be a caring community where lives are changed through knowing Christ, growing in Christ and going with Christ to others." For many years members of this church have been faithful to the principles and values expressed in this mission statement. May it always be so! Thus the theme of Vision 2014 will be "Keeping the Faith!" We will remember our past as we build towards our future. We will never forget nor forsake the core values for which this church has stood. The action steps that we will take to achieve this flow right out of our mission statement: "Know, Grow, Go!" Vision 2014 will be about keeping the faith (being that caring community where lives are changed) through knowing Christ more, growing in Christ more and going with Christ more to others!
The elders are targeting September 19 as the launch date for Vision 2014. We look forward to sharing more details about this new vision in the weeks to come. In the meantime, join us in prayer as we prepare for what God has planned for our future as we seek to faithfully and fruitfully labor together in His vineyard and for His purposes!
God bless you! See you Sunday!
