What does a "becoming church" look like? Maybe you think about a beautiful sanctuary, active programmes, a talented choir and/or worship band, attractive grounds, and the like. But, as nice as those things might be, they're pretty superficial in the final analysis. A truly "becoming church" isn't a picturesque church. It is a church that is becoming all that God calls it to be.
This Sunday, our 173rd Anniversary celebration, guest speaker, musician, and former pastor here at NPC, Glen Soderholm, will delve into this idea with us as he looks at 2 Corinthians 5.14-21. He will argue that the church's mission is to become, in the Holy Spirit's power, an instrument of the Father's work of reconciling the world through Jesus Christ. Please come and help us celebrate not just 173 years of ministry here at NPC, but the presence of God's Holy Spirit through Christ here and now! Hope to see you there.
