In less than a week we will launch The Year of Living Dangerously! Over the past few months pastors and council have been praying and sensing God's leading. In our times of prayer four words have come to us: Discipleship, Prayer, Community and Mission. In addition to these four words we have sensed God calling us to embrace 2012 as a year of preparation, purity and equipping. If we are to be faithful and embrace the Missio Dei (the Sending of God) into the world, we need to be prepared. This is all about becoming healthy disciples in terms of our relationships with God (prayer), with one another (community) and with our world (mission). Our goal in all of this is that we all become better equipped to live out our faith and bear witness to the present and coming Kingdom of God in the 97% of our waking hours spent outside of ECC - passionately and effectively pursuing the purposes of God in the world!
Please join us in praying for ECC, The Year of Living Dangerously and all that God wants us to become in 2012. We launch this Sunday, January 8! I pray you'll not only be physically present, but truly present - in heart, mind and spirit, as well. Sign up on the right to join this blog site and participate in the conversation!
