Message from Parish of Pasadena/Cormack, Newfoundland

We ask all congregation members to place on a piece of paper what their dreams were for the church.  Then we compiled them and joined them all together.  Here is the outcome.

We pray that by 2019, our church will be living out its mission to care for the most vulnerable in the world, that all will be welcomed and affirmed in our midst and that our energies will not be spent on arguing amongst ourselves but on caring for one another.  That those who seek the sacraments of our church will receive them from willing hearts, gay or straight, whether they attend church all the time or not, in other words without condition.   That the church will evolve into…”one that is open to change..accepting all who believe …recognizing that not all of us are alike….youth do have spiritual needs….we need to be open!  May each of us will use our gifts to enable Parish of Pasadena/Cormack to grow spiritually and mentally.  We pray that as a Parish consisting of two congregations that we do more things together as a Parish.  We pray that our Mission to have youth more involved within the church becomes a reality. We pray that our youth will find their way to love the church and have faith in God.   That all people are respected and their different views are acknowledged.
