Christ in Me Ministry
Colossians 1:27
Christ in you, the hope of glory
NIV
We know that one of the things God has called each and every one of us to do is make disciples. The only way to really do that is to engage the world around us. I know that this may seem like an overwhelming prospect considering our limited resources and talents. However, God did not leave that up to us, He has given us everything we need to be successful and productive in reaching the world. He has done this by pouring out His Holy Spirit upon all men and women. This is why we can say, “Christ in me, the hope of glory.”
At Angle Lake Neighborhood Church it is paramount that we take this commission very seriously and use the Holy resources and talents that God has given us to reach or touch the world around us. The empowerment of the Holy Spirit was given so that He could partner with us to go out from the four walls of the church building and invade the world. Christ in Me Ministry is that platform ALNC will use to encourage and help people engage their world.
Starting in January 2012 we will be asking every person who calls ALNC home to commit to volunteering in the community and investing in the community; as an example 50/50. We would ask that you commit for 2012, 50 hours of community service and $50.00 of financial invest in the community. Now you don’t have to commit to 50/50, you might decide to do 5/5,000 and this is fine. It is just important that we reach out to the world around us.
Below you will find a list of volunteer opportunities. Click here to view or print a time/fund tracker that we will ask you to fill out and turn in on a monthly basis. You do not have to put your name on the sheet unless you desire to do so.
God bless you as you reach out to the community with the message that Jesus saves.
Blessings
Pastor John Kilough
