The church I grew up in had the slogan “Ordinary people, serving an Extraordinary God”. Locally in Newmarket a church has the slogan “Where strangers become family”. These, and so many others, are good descriptors of the respective local churches – chosen carefully and giving a clear summary.
Sometimes I wonder what a good slogan would be for the Heritage Reformed Church of Newmarket. I am reluctant to try to capture congregational life with a slogan or catch-phrase – they are too reductionistic and fail to capture the fullness of church family identity and life.
“Promoting God’s glory and peoples’ good!”
“Worshipping, believing and living in light of Christ’s resurrection”
“God’s work in history, God’s cause today, God’s glory forever!”
“The word of God for minds, hearts and lives”
