Surprise Ending

Surprising end to Sunday's Transitional Meeting

Last Sunday evening the T-meeting was held for the month of October. As usual our T- pastor led in a devotion time and then launched into his presentation.

We reviewed the 5 steps of transition that were laid out 18 months ago when our T-pastor first came to our church. He suggested that we were stuck on "where to go from here" and "what will our identity be for the future. " Our T-pastor said that he was not going to force his agenda on us and would drop plans for additional meetings. Also he would now let the leadership of the church take over to find out what the church will decide on how it wants to die. The T-pastor said based on all of his numbers review and other factors the church will die either by attendance declining or by re birthing into something new.

Picking up the ball from the T-pastor must be somewhat of a load for the leadership to experience since his removing himself as a leader in this journey has happened very suddenly. The T-pastor is making himself available for consulting to the church leadership for the rest of this journey

We believe though, with many prayers, we the church can come through this process and find some type of a new identity while maintaining and keeping the gospel central in our services.
