Yet to serve in the district.

Yet to serve in the synod.

Proclaiming Christ, nurturing faith and serving others is the three-part mission statement of First Saint Paul’s and it perfectly mirrors my view and guides my actions in faith day in and day out. My experience with LCMS/NID through FSP’s to-date and most recently directly at the Lay Summit further strengthens that same view of the synod and district.

Bringing the love of Christ every moment to everyday situations in a manner which helps others to come to Christ for the first time and to come closer to Christ for those already in the faith and, in the process, to ever bring myself closer, is both the constant opportunity and goal. The ever present challenge is reminding myself to call on the fruit of the Spirit in the process.
