Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe.
-St. Augustine
WHAT IS PHOTO MINISTRY? The mission of the Photo Ministry is simple but relevant: To document the life of the FUMCR, as the church seeks to save, equip, and send followers for Jesus Christ. The Photo Ministry is unique in that it serves solely as a support to the other ministries of the church, documenting events that may be featured on the FUMCR website, and providing material for church promotional and reference materials. The Photo Ministry exists to share the blessings that are constantly occurring throughout the congregation and make the church seem "smaller."
WHAT IT TAKES TO SERVE
The great thing about the Photo Ministry is that you can join as long as you have a working camera and a heart for serving this ministry. A commitment to the Photo Ministry entails keeping an open communication about the events your primary ministry (if you have one) will be attending and documenting so that there is always someone covering an event.
Currently, the group meets the 4th Sunday of every month at 2:00pm in Room 205.
The remaining meetings for 2011:
- August 28
- September 25
- October 23
- November 27
Got photos? If so, you may get the opportunity to showcase your talents on the FUMCR FIRST Highlights website as the ministry looks to offer a creative outlet for people like you to express how God can be seen in everything around us. The challenge is to visually tell a story based on a proposed theme and look forward to a featured spot on the website. It's just another way of bringing the FUMCR community closer together and illustrating God's faithfulness in our daily lives.
Photos immortalize moments in time: Blessings, joy, suffering, history, humanity. Photos encapsulate our lives and give testimony to God's work here on earth.
The Photo Ministry serves to reveal God's hand in the FUMCR Ministries through the eyes of its disciples.
