  Mission Action Plan -  Called to STOP

For sometime God has been calling Christ Church to STOP, do a few things well and seek the Lord if He is calling us to review our personal  ministries. The P.C.C. have approved that during Lent 2009 we STOP.    

S- Seek God's face regarding our personal and Church ministries.

T- Thank God for His goodness to us and for each other.

O- Observe and obey what God wants us to do.

P- Passion for Jesus, and for unity and love for each other.

Oversight: Ralph Goldenberg   Date: Lent 2009
