Bellville Methodist Church is a church family called to reach, equip and serve.
The first part of our mission statement expresses our belief that an important part of our life is living as a community of believers – the Family of God. We believe that all people, of any age, should have a sense of belonging to this family and that everyone in this “family” is of value and importance.
At a recent meeting the leadership was challenged in this regard. Are we the caring family that we state? How can we be family together?
We then embarked on a course of action that will help us to live more fully as a family at Bellville Methodist Church. The leaders have committed themselves to visiting every member on our records. This will happen over the next while running into next year.
You will thus receive a telephone call to arrange a visit. The purpose for the visit is two-f
old.
Firstly, it is to check whether all our details regarding you are correct, for example, telephone numbers, email addresses and other contact information.
Secondly, and more importantly, it will be to see how you are doing and ask if there is any way in which we can care for you and your family.
Please receive the visitors into your home so that we can ensure that no one person in this wonderful family is not visited and cared for. Nothing is required of you, except to allow us to visit you!
I
f you wish to be a visitor, please contact the secretaries in the church office (Vanessa or Myrna), preferably by email at bellmeth@xsinet.co.za, or speak to one of the Society Stewards or Ministers.
May we keep on discovering the joy of being God’s Family at Bellville Methodist Church.
André Buttner and David Newton
