The Church Is Alive

Happy Easter everybody! Just in time for us to experience a fantastic week of worship, all encouraged, perhaps you had time (on Sunday afternoon maybe?) to read read last week's cover story in Newsweek of about the decline of Christianity. I always respond to things like this by squinting my eyes and thinking "But... Our church is not dead... our church is quite alive."

I mean didn't we just celebrate an amazing season of Lent. Don't we regularly have dynamic worship services? Singing, sharing, laughing (in church - imagine). We care for one another, we respond to needs around us, we enjoy being people of faith within a community of faith. Our Church is not dead... we are quite alive!

Bruce Reyes-Chow, the moderator of our next General Assembly, has issued a challenge to us to think about those thing that are "alive" in our denomination. Check out this website to hear more.

He challenges us to submit responses to the questions, "How is the church alive?"

But for the purposes of our blog, comment back with your response... How is our church alive?
