As believers In Christ we were not put here to be hidden or to keep quiet about this wonderful gift of life and salvation which is ours. Instead we are to proclaim it. We are to tell this Good News in everything we do and in everywhere we go. This September EBC is placing an emphasis on reaching out. Reaching out to our visitors, reaching out to our church family who for whatever reason or cause has not been attending, reaching out to our community. It will culminate with our Connect Sunday on September 24. This day will be a day of celebration, worship, joy and fun. It is a day where you will want to set all other plans aside and be at EBC beginning with Sunday School, worship and the fellowship to follow. In fact you will want to start inviting people right now, because the Good News we have is not ours to keep, it is to share. The love we have for God and one another is the love that our world is needing to witness.
Here’s another way to put it: You’re here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world. God is not a secret to be kept. We’re going public with this, as public as a city on a hill. If I make you light-bearers, you don’t think I’m going to hide you under a bucket, do you? I’m putting you on a light stand. Now that I’ve put you there on a hilltop, on a light stand—shine! Keep open house; be generous with your lives. By opening up to others, you’ll prompt people to open up with God, this generous Father in heaven. Matthew 5:14-16 (The Message)
