…We are stronger and more vibrant. But what about a clear and compelling vision for our future? Over the summer our seminary intern, Jared Gilbert, canvassed the congregation. One of the questions he asked was: “What is God saying to this church?” And do you know what most of you said? “We’re not sure.”… The Board of Stewards is studying Jared’s findings and considering their implications. Further, the congregation will gather for a Spring Retreat… But there is more to do. Let me propose that it’s time for us to embark upon a 3 to 5 year plan… We will have a vision for the future inasmuch as we listen to what God is saying. And if we listen well, we will hear in our own time and place the promise first spoken through the lips of the Prophet Jeremiah: “For surely I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope.”
(Jeremiah 29:11) Thanks be to God!
