The Grace Wisdom/Outreach ministry has been having a number of discussions around “Who are we?” and “How do we see ourselves changing?” We have considered the principles of PMC (Partnership for Missional Church) of listening and discovering. We have also considered the Canons, which have guidance for the Ministry of the Ordained (deacons and priests) as well as the Ministry of the Baptized (the laity) which applies to all of us.
We would like to share our Statement of Purpose:
The Grace Wisdom Group proclaims our ministry as baptized people by:
- being good stewards of our gifts, talents and resources
- caring for those in need in our community
- listening to and hearing the needs of our neighbors
- listening to and hearing the needs of those in our congregation
- seeking partners and by becoming partners
- embracing and befriending the diverse cultures in our community
- Prayerfully discerning what needs we are realistically capable of meeting.
We need your help:
- You can be an Ambassador for Christ by listening for needs in the many groups you are involved with.
- Bring those to a member of Wisdom
- Pray for our work
