Last Sunday was a great time of fellowship as we sought to hear from God together during our Church meeting. The next step is to get the “Vision strategy team” (David Auty, Howard Wilkinson, Yvonne Evans, Herbert Denton and Olya Bartlett) to get together and have a look at all the info we gathered. This group will meet, discuss, and produce a paper for us to consider as we head towards our Vision Banquet in September.
One of the great things about the meeting was the sense that we heard a consistent message from God. Although there were many ideas and thoughts on how to specifically achieve it, the over-riding (and quite obvious) thoughts revolved around RELATIONSHIPS...and both of the final
groupings came up with similar priority on relationship. In a way this should not be at all surprising to us. One of the key things that we as Christians believe about God is that he is a relational God. He seeks relationship with us and wants us to have good relationships with others—both in the church and outside of it.
Please continue to pray that, as we clarify our vision and start to form more and more strategy, we will continue to be in step with God and his plans for us as a church. Thank you so much to everyone who contributed through the process and let’s continue to move forward together.
Grace and Peace,
Pastor David Auty
