This next Sunday evening we will be resuming our transitional transparency meetings. One of us is thinking of dropping out because of the perception that these meetings are fruitless.
This Sunday we will need to choose between the following:
1. Healing of Congregational Wounds and Brokenness
2. Creating a Pastor-Congregation Partnership
3. Finding a Way to Attract and Hold People
4. Find a Way to Renew Our Spiritual Vitality
5. Find an Answer to the Incredible Conundrum of Worship and Music Styles.
We are asked to choose which one of these five categories we wish to address. We can only address one of them because all five groups will be meeting at the same time.
Choosing one can be a problem. Will those interested in addressing our congregation's wounds be wounded further when perhaps not much interest by others is shown? Will the tastes and desires of only those present in the worship and music style group perhaps get their way in our services? Some may feel that their greatest concern expressed is missing within these five topics. But we need to go somewhere and this is where our transitional pastor has chosen to go. Apparently these subjects were the top categories picked by our congregation to achieve our vision for the future.
We wonder what God may have in store for our congregation? Will it be what we want?
