Vision Sunday 2017

And so it begins: the unofficial start of Fall as summer holidays draw to a close and school begins (remember to drive safely and keep an eye out for kids!). The change of seasons always reminds me of how God is in control, how He established all of creation, set the stars and planets in motion to “serve as signed to mark sacred times, and days and years” (Gen 1:14), and how His plan is unfolding even today. He is not absent, but always present, guiding and directing, encouraging and supporting, moving His plan forward towards its fulfillment when Christ will return to make all things new. And we get to play a role in this! We’re invited to care for creation and all who are in it, spread the good news of Jesus and tell others of the hope we have in Him. This is our role, our duty and responsibility as followers of Jesus.

At The Centre we see the South End neighbourhood of Lindsay as our place in His plan. This is the area to which He has called us to minister and care. This is the community in which we will spend the majority of our time and energy reaching out, building relationships, and blessing those who live there in the name of Jesus. There’s much to be done, but we know that because God has called us here, we’re not alone. He goes before us preparing the way, He follows behind us protecting and watching over us, and He walks with us guiding and directing our path.

This coming Sunday is what I like to call our Vision Sunday. We will be sharing about The Centre, the vision and mission that God has called us to for the South End neighbourhood of Lindsay. This is a great Sunday to get to know The Centre, and is perfect for someone coming out for the first time. Please help spread the word, invite people out, and partner with us as we go out into this community in the name of Jesus. Our gathering begins at 6 pm — hope to see you there!
