We've just taken a big step forward in the future of Prineville Presbyterian Church as we've ‘commissioned’ our Future Facilities Committee. This came in response to the solid growth we’ve enjoyed over the past 5 years.
And as we took this step forward, we turned back into the history of God’s people.
We heard the words from the prophet Jeremiah who proclaimed in times of change the future still belongs to God and to God’s people. With that belief God’s people can look to the future with the “courage to be.”
This phrase comes from a man named Paul Tillich who wrote lots of rich and thought-provoking stuff about God.
Under “the courage to be” Tillich wrote: “All you need is the plan, the road map, and the courage to press on to your destination. I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear. Have no fear of moving into the unknown.”
How we move ahead is going to require the courage to be faithful thinkers and do-ers of God’s future for us.
Join us Sundays at 10AM as ‘co-mission’ with God’s future we know in Jesus Christ.
Together We Serve,
Pastor Mike
