What Is vibrantwitness?

vibrantwitness is a collection of stories describing the Holy Spirit in action in the midst of Presbyterian congregations throughout North Carolina's Presbytery of Coastal Carolina.

Presbyterians value the interconnectedness of congregations because each is an important part of the greater universal church of God (Romans 12:5).  We can appreciate God's grace and power on an even greater scale when we share and see the many ways God continues to be at work in our various congregations and communities.

Do you have a story of church folks leaving their comfort zones? (see Luke 4:1)
Do you have a story that brought new meaning to old Gospel teachings? (see John 14:26)
Do you have a story of something amazing happening? (see Acts 2:4-5)
Do you have story of an experience that felt like "God's love was being poured into your heart"? (see Romans 5:5).

Scripture shows how many of these are Spirit sightings. Share your glimpses of the Triune God in our midst: Creator, Risen Christ, and Holy Spirit at work in your congregation and community. Next time you feel like beating your head against a wall, visit this blog and realize the Spirit is still at work.

"Witnessing" involves both seeing and sharing (see Acts 22:15).
Be part of this vibrant witness by:
1) sharing stories
2) reading stories here month after month
3) pointing others here to read and share stories

Please send stories from your congregation to Rev. Evan Harrison at pastor@sspchurch.org along with your name, and congregation's name.  Thanks for your witness!
