Christian Education
This fall, we are embarking on a new journey together as followers of Jesus. “Following Jesus is a lifelong journey where we learn and do what Jesus said and did. It takes more than the head, checking off boxes of belief. It even takes more than the heart, feeling deeply about another person or a cause. Following Jesus is about these things and more. It is also about doing. And it takes practice. And practice. And more practice. We are not practicing for perfection, however, but practicing to put faith and love into action. As we explore faith practices, we are diving into the essence of what makes us Christian, those who follow the one who practiced what he preached!”
The first practice that we will explore together beginning on September 12 is to “Follow Jesus.” Sounds easy enough, right? We already do that. We are Christians, we attend church, we read our Bibles, we pray. We are on the right track! Part of following Jesus, though, is continuing to accept his invitation to follow, to grow in our love of God, and to serve others with the heart of Christ.
Throughout September in our worship services, in our fellowship time together, in our Bible studies and Sunday School classes, in our celebrations, we will practice following Jesus by daily accepting his invitation, by following in community with others, by seeing everything with love in our hearts, and by making more disciples with Jesus, growing our community’s capacity to love and care for the world around us. There are MANY opportunities every week to join your Westminster siblings in following Jesus. It’s time to follow the leader. Let’s go!
