Scott and I sat down together yesterday to gather some thoughts and ideas about what we should focus on as a Church over the next 5-10 years. As we looked at the data something struck me. There are forecast to be nearly 70,000 people in our parish by 2060. In fact, our population is predicted to increase from 12,000 to 18,000 people over the next 5 years, and to increase to 37,000 in the 10 years following that.
These are all people who need to hear about Jesus. What a wonderful opportunity we have to share the good news with them.
“The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”
– Matthew 9:37-38.
Will you join me in praying and planning to make the most of every opportunity our Lord brings before us to share the good news of Life in Christ?
Blessings,
Ben
