Please be sure that any material is in the Secretary mailbox in the church office or e-mail Amy Morand at [email protected] by 5 pm on the 20th of each month. Website: www.corneliuspcusa. org In February’s newsletter, I spoke of the Presbytery group of eight churches, including Cornelius, participating in a five-year program for Biblical and spiritual growth. I attended the first meeting of ministers on Feb. 18th. The meeting involved much prayer to surround us with God’s presence. Another segment included each speaking of our church and the vision for Christ that is being implemented among our members. The purpose of the ministers’ group is for support in the process and directed Bible study involving Biblical and spiritual growth. I will be reading new books on leadership, developing member leaders, spiritual growth and empowering members to make disciples for Jesus Christ. Ten to twelve members of Cornelius will be attending their first quarterly meeting representing this congregation. Each member needs to be surrounded by our prayers for God’s guidance and a passion to perform Christ’s mission of making disciples. Their meeting will involve Bible study regarding spiritual and Biblical growth. Our members will be meeting with a total of 80+ members from the eight church group who will support, motivate and pray for one another. They will meet at Derita Presbyterian on March 20th. I request on March 20th, you pray for our members who are attending this monumental meeting for Jesus Christ. Pray they will have a passion for making disciples for Christ; they will empower us to take this new journey for Christ; and they will love us as we travel together in the next five years.
