Let Your Voice Be Heard

Lately you’ve been hearing a lot from me about the Visioning Process. I’ve tried to keep you informed and excited about this important process in the life of our congregation without overwhelming you and sounding like a broken record. So here we are, in the middle of this period of transition, seeking to discern who God is calling us to become. Toward that end, there are a couple of significant opportunities in the next month which are designed to help us listen for the guidance of God’s Spirit.

The first opportunity comes in the form of a series of small group discussion sessions which are designed to help us explore the intersection between our congregation’s strengths and the world’s needs. There will be ten of these sessions offered during the month of November. You can sign up on-line at: http://goo.gl/Vyr145 or in person on Sunday mornings in the Fellowship Hall after worship.

The second opportunity will happen on Saturday, December 6th when we will gather in the Fellowship Hall for an All-Church Retreat from 9am until 3pm. On that day we will spend time sharing together in a variety of ways as we seek clarity and inspiration regarding the future for our congregation.

Throughout this process your voice is important. The understandings and information which emerge from this process will be used by the Pastoral Search Committee as they create the Congregational Profile which is a central part of the search process. So let your voice be heard. Get involved. Take advantage of these important opportunities. Together, with each other and with God, we will walk boldly into God’s exciting future.
