God
Jesus said "And this is eternal life: to know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent— Jesus the Messiah."
John 17:3
God has entered into relationship with humanity, inviting and entrusting us as part of God's family to be good stewards.
We commit to nurturing our relationship with God, finding time to enjoy God and living out the generous responsibility given to us.
God weaves through all the stories of our lives. Do we expect to encounter Him in our day-to-day comings and goings as much as we do in church activities?
