Ontario Christian Fellowship Welcomes CR

This morning in my email box I received the weekly email newsletter which Ontario Christian Fellowship mails to their parishioners.  I thought it would be good for our own Church Requel folks have a glimpse at the motivation behind Pastor Kim Mauer's and OCF's offer to us to use their chapel space on Sunday nights.  I particularly like the concept of partnering with another ministry.  And Pastor Kim's advice to introduce and meet one another is also great advice for us as well!  Here is their full announcement:

Church Requel Using OCF Chapel on Sunday Nights

God has greatly blessed us at OCF with wonderful, spacious facilities that help us provide MINISTRY in many ways, shapes and forms.

We're pleased to announce that we are PARTNERING with a new church-plant that meets on Sunday evenings at 6:00 pm.  Starting this Sunday, June 27, we will be renting our Chapel (and a few other associated rooms) to Church Requel, led by pastor Mark Pierce, a good friend of mine.  Mark is a local guy, a sincere believer, a solid evangelical, and a good pastor who is committed to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

 

It's good for OCF to look beyond our own "personal kingdom" and work to promote the Kingdom of God in our community.  I understand this is new concept to some, but let's try to look beyond ourselves to the bigger picture of what God is calling us to do.  If we only view this as a "nuisance" or as a "money-making proposition" then we're missing the point.  I believe God wants to teach us some things about SHARING and GENEROSITY beyond what only benefits us.  We have an opportunity to BLESS this new church, and if we do this with a good attitude, God is pleased and we will be blessed.

So, if you meet someone you don't recognize on a Sunday afternoon or evening, introduce yourself and make them feel welcome.  Let's encourage and PRAY for Church Requel.  Learn more about them at http://churchrequel.org.

Thank you!

Pastor Kim
