From The Pastor's Desk!

We took another step last week toward becoming more of the kind of congregation that God wants us to be. In our very early days we had a program called, “Project Transform” that I truly believe filled a purpose and a niche. Because of unseen circumstances we had to abort the program, mainly because we saw the multitude of work and constant support that a ministry like that entailed.

On last week the Live & Kicking Winners Circle began using the Annex Building as their meeting place. This nationally recognized support group for recovering addicts and former offenders were uprooted from their own building due to politics, bureaucracy and unfair neighborhood tactics. They are now in transition , looking for another place to call their own. In the meantime they needed a place to continue their vital program of recovery and support. They are a support group that endeavors to support, encourage and guide toward a better life any formerly incarcerated individual, participant of the therapeutic community, and all who desire to love a life free from drugs, addictions and crime. It is a group that has proven themselves for over a decade, and we are proud to partner with them by offering the use of The Annex. It also helps us in fulfilling our mission as Christ’s church.

At almost 10 years old, we need to become even more aggressive and proactive within the community. One way is by getting the name of Christ and His church out there in positive and spiritual ways. This includes using the technology that is already at our disposal and by delving into areas of ministry that are new and challenging to us. All of it, of course will require commitment on the part of more of us, but there are also more of us now. This can be and should be reflected in our attendance, personal ministry and in our giving. If more of us become more consistent in all of these areas, there is no limit to what SouthCentral can do. (In fact, I know churches with less that do more!)
