Statement: “The Good News”
We are called to new life in Jesus Christ who shares with us a ministry of love and concern for all people. We find in Christ strength and purpose for our living. Our Savior brings to us life and light and joy. With God’s help we become ministers of our Risen Lord. But our lives must become disciplined in study, prayer, meditation, dialogue, and worship. The Spirit in us means we are empowered to speak and live the Good News everywhere.

The New Life in Christ
So if you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on the things that are above, not on the things that are on earth, for you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life is revealed, then you also will be revealed with him in glory.
