A New Year at BCC

 Happy New Year!!!  I am not quite sure what it is about flipping the calendar to January that prompts us to begin to dream about what could be in the coming year. Perhaps it is the tradition of New Year’s Resolutions. Perhaps it is the image of a clean slate as the year is young. I have often wondered if the new year stirrings in our hearts and minds isn’t something deeper, revealing the sacred rhythms God has placed in us. Regardless of what turns our attention to setting new goals, dreaming new dreams, and hoping for great things to come, it provides us with an opportunity to try something new.

At Bangor Church of Christ, as part of being a people who love God and love others, we are committed to equipping Christians to serve others. People serve according the the interests, gifts, talents, and resources they have. There is a place for everyone to serve in the Kingdom of God. However, that service isn’t optional. God has asked us to be active in serving. I really like Paul’s reminder to the churches in Galatia, “ You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.” (Galatians 3:15).

It is our desire to help you become obedient in this command and find a way to serve. Below you will find our ministry teams you can join. Perhaps you don’t see something that fits your gifts or passions. Simply check the “Other” box and let us know what you love to do. Perhaps you aren’t sure how you could possibly serve someone. Don’t worry! Even people in Scripture struggled with this. Check the last box and we will help you discover the ways God has created you for service. You are welcome to complete this card by e-mailing your response to skoutzBCC@gmail.com  or handing a completed copy to a staff member. Additional forms can be found at the Welcome Center.

May God lead and guide us as we continue to follow him and obey his commands in 2018!
