![]() Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! Alleluia! “Just as he said” (Matthew 28:6). Just as Christ is risen to new, eternal life, so too we who are baptized into Christ have newness of life (Romans 6:4). He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up so that we could have eternal life in his name, how will he not also graciously give us all things (Romans 8:32)? Indeed, “If God so clothes the grass of the field . . . will he not much more clothe you . . .” (Matthew 6:30)? Since we are certain that our God has met all our needs in Christ, we are free to use our earthly riches, our time, talents, and treasures, to serve others in his love. As a baptized, new creation in Christ, you are God’s steward. You are his manager.
Very soon Atonement Lutheran Church will be considering together as a parish the adoption of a proposed strategic plan for its future ministry. The vision team has composed a plan that will emphasize three general areas where it thinks the congregation should strategically focus its efforts for ministry in the next one to three years. At the meeting the congregation will have a chance to view the plan and ask questions before considering adoption. The parts of the plan that the congregation will consider adopting are a newly proposed mission statement, set of core values, vision statement, and set of ministry targets.
