Pastor's Message - Bob Bahr
Dear Friends,
It is great to connect with you once again. First of all, I want to thank our Mandarin community for their wonderful contribution to last week’s service. It was truly a sign of the unifying power of the gospel. Thank you.
This Sunday, I will conclude our three-week study in the book of Ephesians. Together we will attempt to unpack Ephesians 4: 11 – 16, where Paul describes the primary role of Pastoral Leaders. As we study this passage I would ask you to reflect on:
- The new Lead Pastor we should be looking to engage as we enter this new chapter in our life together.
- What does it mean for the church to go into the world and make disciples?
- How effective has the Church been in executing this mandate?
This should be a fun discussion.
I’m also pleased to announce that we have expanded Tracey Miller’s job description to include overall supervision of the church’s ministries, goals, and objectives. This has led to a change in her official title to Church Administrator. I am so pleased to have her as my voice in the office when I am not there. We work well together and share the same values. Personally, I have great confidence in her giftedness and skills.
May God’s grace and favour rest on us as a church as we seek to honour and serve Him on the North Shore.
