I am very excited to be resuming our Wednesday evening worship on September 7th. I know that many of you are equally eager, and that you are anticipating the opportunity to feast on the means of grace. As Christians, it is vital to our spiritual journey that we avail ourselves to every opportunity for biblical instruction, prayer, and spiritual fellowship. Wednesday evening allows us to capture all of these and provides the nourishment needed for both body and soul. I want personally, to encourage each of you to come with your families so you can share in this sweet time.

Of course, the blessing of Wednesday evenings should not be restricted to the folks at Christ Church. The second chapter of John’s gospel records the calling of the first disciples. In this account we read that, “Philip found Nathanael and said to him, ‘We have found Him of whom Moses in the Law and also the Prophets wrote—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph’” (2:45). When Philip realized who it was that called him, the first thing he wanted to do was to introduce Christ to someone else. That is what disciple making is—introducing others to Christ! Along with our own spiritual nourishment, Wednesday evenings afford us the opportunity to introduce others to Christ. Let me encourage you to prayerfully consider whom you can invite to join you on Wednesday evenings. Ask the Lord to reveal your “Nathanael” and to give you the courage to introduce them to Christ by inviting them to join you.

I look forward to being with all of you very soon, and to the time we will invest in the Pastoral Epistles—I and II Timothy and Titus. Please pray that the Lord will bless our time together and that your outreach efforts will yield a harvest of new disciples!

Yours in Christ,
Pastor Legare
