On Monday night, March 8, our church council came up with a tentative vision statement. The process has been one prayerfully and carefully enacted. Back in the fall of 2009 in the worship services, I asked the congregation to write down what vision grabbed them so deeply that they must follow it. We got some 100 responses. The church council then spent two sessions spread out over several months trying to discern what was the essence of what this congregation was being led to do and to be. Our vision statement needed to be pithy (7 words or less), call us to stretch, and be motivating. We are proposing, "Following One, Serving All." I have much more to say about this, especially in my sermon on March 21.
Love,
Lynn
