Ed's Newsletter | December Issue
Christmas greetings friends,
I’ve recently been reading through the Gospel of John. I’ve found it to be rich and life-giving. One nugget grabbed my attention. In the middle of a clandestine conversation with Nicodemus Jesus says:
“I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.” 3:3
“I tell you the truth, we speak of what we know, and we testify to what we have seen…”3:11

Our national body (CCMBC) is going through a process of re-visioning and restructuring. To assist in the discernment process, everyone is being invited to fill out the enclosed Survey. If you have not yet participated, could I ask you to quickly fill it out. It will only take 15 minutes, but will be of great help to the discernment team.
