The Wonder of a Vision

We have this vision for our church.  To me it makes a world of difference because we are all on the same page.  It's easy to get bogged down trying to go in a thousand different directions in the church, but if we all claim a common mission, we know where we're trying to go.

 

Sherwood Park United Church

 Following Christ we Care and Act

Being Visible in the Community

 

Doing the work God calls us to do both inside and outside our church.

 

Inviting others to connect with God through our actions and outreach in all communities whether locally or abroad. 

 

Engaging others in conversation regarding what it is truly like to experience God’s blessing in one’s life.

 

Inspiring Faith and Fellowship

Allowing people to experience God on their own terms and in their own special ways.

Being open to diversity of opinion and thought, while acting with compassion, love and justice in keeping with our heritage and ethos (culture and theology) as part of the United Church of Canada (UCC).

Considering the needs of others before our own to illuminate the spirit in those we touch and by experiencing God through music, service and other forms of ministry.

 

Being Responsible Stewards

 

Acknowledging God as the creator and sustainer of everything.

 

Taking responsibility, as individuals and a congregation, to sustain our building and assets, financial resources, the community and the environment in which we live.

 

Sharing the gifts we have been graciously given, to make a positive difference through faithful commitment and action.
