Mary Jane's Thought
One of the things we've learned from the videos at the Wednesday night study is the need to be more intentional about sharing how God is at work in our lives. Many of us life-long Presbyterians do not have much practice doing this! This week I invite you to pay attention to what is happening in your life, and recognize how God is at work through these events. Then on Sunday share with someone how you experienced God's presence in your life this week.
Hope to see you Sunday! |
| SUMMER SALAD/SANDWICH STUDY | | 
Wednesday, July 21, 6:30-8:15 PM, is the ninth of our 10-week study based on Reggie McNeal's book and video, The Present Future: Six Tough Questions for the Church. We begin at 6:30 PM with a potluck "sandwich and salad" supper. (Bring a salad or some sandwiches to share.) Each week we watch a video presenting the tough questions that churches face in our changing culture, followed by a time of discussion about how MDPC can address these questions.
This week we will discuss "New Reality Number 6 - The Rise of Apostolic Leadership." The "wrong question" is How do we train leaders for church work? The "tough question" is How do we train leaders for the Christian movement? In this session we will discuss distinctive characteristics of apostolic leaders, such as: ordering their lives around a missionary purpose; believing they are responsible for fulfilling the Great Commission; being visionary and entrepreneurial, and working in teams, not as Lone Rangers.
