A Beacon Drawing People to God


        The Anglican Church of the Holy Trinity for many years used the statement above as its mission statement.  This statement suggests that we (the Body of Christ in this place) are a beacon, the light of Christ, shining into a world smothering in sin and darkness, calling them to something better, which is a new life in Christ.  This statement captures the Gospel Imperative of Matthew 28:19,20 (the Great Commission)- Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.  And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”  Through both this “Good News” we bear and the Godly lives we live, we penetrate our culture as a beacon of hope to a perishing world.  

     To God be the Glory, Father Rob
