This past weekend we had the privilege of celebrating our shared ministry at Shepherd of the Cross, throughout the greater Muscatine community, and within the whole church. During our annual meeting, we shared the video above as a highlight of how we’ve lived together in 2022, and as a challenge to live together as one with Christ and one with each other into 2023.
So moving into 2023, what would it be like for you to intentionally take up Christ’s prayer for his disciples to live as one with God and one with each other?
- Might it lead you to be a part of our upcoming midweek Lenten gatherings – offering an opportunity to nurture your relationship with Christ and with fellow believers?
- Might it lead you to be a part of a Shepherding Team, fostering the shared work that we all share? (sign up here!)
- Or might it lead you to broaden your perspective of what the purpose of the church really is as we explore new paths that – previously – weren’t even considered?
More and more, as the body of Christ, we need to work together. And more and more, we need to live together. Apart from God, we can do nothing. But caught in the vine of God’s grace, and in the web of God’s people, we will come to know the truth of Jesus Christ and we will bear fruit for the sake of the Gospel.
