Taking responsibility at the heart of community
We have some more folks who want to come into full membership. In our church, all members are 'office bearers': we are all responsible to God, together, for everything to do with Bristo. The people who decide who become members are those who are already members! To become a member, you have to be serious about following Jesus and committed to being part of the community's witness. The way it works is that the deacons bring a recommendation to the meeting, and then we discern together. This time we have three reports to share, all of which celebrate the grace and goodness of God in people's lives. So there'll be a brief meeting in the lower lounge after the morning service this Sunday, to do this. Try and be there, if you're part of our community.
