These
phrases — Witness, Mercy, Life Together — illustrate how the church
lives and works together to proclaim the Gospel and to provide for our
brothers and sisters in Christ in our congregations, communities and
throughout the world. And in all we do, Christ is at the center, leading
us, sustaining us, keeping us focused on our mission. This will never
change.
“God is faithful, by whom you were called into the
fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.”
– 1 Cor. 1:9
Life Together, Koinonia, Sharing in a common birth; Fellowship, with Christ the center, We His body here on earth. Growing, bearing fruit, forgiving, Brothers living all as one; Breaking bread, the Lord’s Communion, Life eternal now begun. |
