KEVIN'S KERYGMA Encounter God; Grow in God; Serve God! |
|
Last month I introduced the four steps that we, as a church, will be following as we
plan our worship, ministry and programming. To refresh your memory they are:
Clarity: What kind of disciple are we trying to create at St. Dunstan's?
Movement: What are the steps a new person at St. Dunstan's takes to become
that disciple?
Alignment: How must we align our programming to facilitate that movment?
Focus: Saying no to things that do not facilitate the above progression.
As you look over the new fall schedule contained elsewhere, and our exciting Signup
Celebration Sunday that will kick off the new program year, I hope you will take seriously your responsibility
to fit into the design. In our desire to create movement in the spiritual development of
current and new members, we are asking all of you to participate in our three-step model: Encounter
God; Grow in God; Serve God. The first step would be for those of you who have not already done so
to join the ALPHA evening, Sundays beginning September 12 with an introduction, and continuing for the
next 10 weeks. There will be a follow up course for those interested on the same night. Then, in
January, take part in our revamped Small Groups and be a part of an intentional Bible study/prayer
group. Finally, we hope you will offer yourselves to a ministry at St. Dunstan's that corresponds to your
ministry gifts. We will be offering a Spiritual Gifts course in the not-too-distant future, a wonderful way to
assess where best to offer your time and talent.

Father Into Thy Hands I Commend My Spirit |
|
With these words Jesus offers
his final prayer to his Father in
Heaven. He commends his spirit
into the hands of God.
"Commend" means to
entrust for care and
preservation; to commit
oneself into the care of
another. Jesus places
his life and future into
the hands of God. Due
to his deeply intimate and
personal relationship with God he
has the firm assurance that God
will vindicate him. He knows with all
his heart, soul, and mind that God
will raise him from the darkness of
death into the newness of life.
Jesus' words should serve
as a powerful example for all of us
to follow. But sadly when many of
us reach that moment when we
face death, when our time to leave
this world is at hand, we are fearful
and reluctant to commend and entrust
our spirits into the hands of
God. We worry about leaving behind
our families and friends. We
worry about how they will be able to
live and function without our help
and support. We also have fears of
the unknown which face us. Doubts
begin to creep into our minds, as
we begin to wonder if there really is
an afterlife or if life on this earth is
all that there is. We find ourselves
choosing to remain on this earth as
long as possible; we would rather
endure the illness, pain, and hardships
of this life rather than entrust
our lives to God.
As Christians when our time
comes we need hold on to our
faith. Let Jesus' life give us the assurance
that the God who created
us in his image loves us more than
anything in this world could possibly
love us. He has promised us a
place he has already prepared for
us when we pass on. God wants
us to spend eternity in his presence
surrounded by all the saints. We
must not allow our fears and doubts
to diminish and weaken our faith
and hope of life everlasting.
Fr. Ken+
