This is the week the Olypmic games begin and that is the talk around town, so it seems. Yesterday in ICRC we witnessed the baptism of a covenant youth, which was a blessing to witness God's goodness and faithfulness.
But my mind lately has been on the bigger picture of not only the church of Jesus Christ, but also our federation of churches. A good friend of mine minister-elect, Gary Zekveld accepted the call to the church in New Westminster, which is presently independent. It would be good to see a URC in New West, but only time will tell.
We as churches continue to have a fruitful relationship with the Canadian Reformed Churches and enjoy their fellowship. But, what does the future hold for our small federation of 100 churches? Where will we be in 10 or 20 years? The landscape could look much different. Revelation 1 reminds us that the Son of Man stand among the lampstands. He builds his church and holds her together, and so may it be our prayer that he will strengthen his church and people.
As I begin this blog, I will likely spend a little bit of time on Mondays writing (or typing). If you have any suggestions, just let me know. Thanks for reading.
