MISSION
OF OUR CHURCH
In recent
years and in our modern day, have you noticed something missing in political
campaign speeches? Candidates invariably talk about family values, concern for
the elderly, education, and poverty. They make huge promises, assuring our well
being. These campaigns of "promise making," aim almost exclusively at
our needs and desires. What is often missing is a call to service. We can think
of the famous quote from John Kennedy's 1961 inauguration, "And so, my
fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can
do for your country."
