In October 2004, our Journey Continues...

What a great way to talk about this latest venture for our Atonement family!
The language of hope is not new to us. In our mission statement, we describe ourselves as people “living in God’s love and reaching out with hope.” God’s hope is what calls us to strengthen and nourish our faith among one another so that we might be better able to share with those around us the ultimate love that transforms the world. Can you think of anything more important?
God’s hope always leads us forward, beyond ourselves, onto paths not yet traveled. The journey on which we are now embarking will allow us to discover exciting new opportunities for ministry and mission through additional staffing, a larger facility and designated outreach gifts. Who knows where it all may lead!
We encourage you to carefully and prayerfully read the information you will find in this blog. Ask questions. Take part in the upcoming events that are intended to help us all navigate the road before us. This is not the first journey the Atonement family has been on. Indeed, it is the previous journey faithfully followed that have brought us to this point!
God’s Hope ~ Our Journey: As your pastors we are thankful to be part of the venture into the future. The challenge before us may seem daunting at times, but we move ahead trusting that God’s hand is guiding us, Christ’s grace is empowering us and the Holy Spirit is inviting us all to participate!
In God’s peace,
Pastor Del and Pastor Jim
