The Commission on
Ministry Committee on Formation for the Ministry of the Baptized (the
MOB) has decided that we need to help folks better understand lay
ministry. Our focus is to be a resource for lay people who feel called
to something even if they don't yet know what that means for them.
Baptism is what makes us ministers. Living out our baptismal promises -
how we share the Good News of God's love with our words and actions - is
our ministry. The MOB is inviting each of you to participate in a
Diocese-wide Day of Service on the first Saturday of May. We are asking
each Parish to choose a project in your community that will be a
concrete example of God's love for all of His children. We hope that
this Day of Service will help you do a little out of the box thinking.
You may partner with other parishes, maybe even develop a project for
your convocation. Please have someone in your parish let us know (at khwootton@meckcom.net) about the project you have chosen so that we can share and celebrate the work that we are doing.
