“A faithful member accepts Christ’s call to be involved responsibly in the
ministry of his Church. Such involvement includes:
a.
proclaiming the good news,
b.
taking part in the common life and worship of a particular church,
c.
praying and studying Scripture and the faith of the Christian Church,
d.
supporting the work of the church through the giving of money, time,
and talents,
e.
participating in the governing responsibilities of the church,
f.
demonstrating a new quality of life within and through the church,
g.
responding to God’s activity in the world through service to others,
h.
living responsibly in the personal, family, vocational, political,
cultural, and social relationships of life,
i.
working in the world for peace, justice, freedom, and human
fulfillment.”
(Book of Order, G-5.0102)
It is important that
our new members receive a warm welcome into the church and that they quickly
become active in the life and worship of the congregation. To this end, a host
family is assigned new members.
PICTORIAL DIRECTORY
A directory containing pictures and addresses of the church
membership is included in new member packets.
NEWSLETTER
The church newsletter is entitled In Touch, and it is
published monthly. Its several pages contain a variety of interesting and
important information concerning the life of the congregation.
