In just a few minutes the church ministry/pastoral staff will be leaving for 2 days. The goal of this trip is simple… go somewhere quiet and free of distractions and define some vision stuff for the next phase of our church.
With all of the transitions, pastoral changes, heartaches… in the past several years the church has defaulted into a maintenence mode. So the idea here is that we’re off to craft an aggressively insane vision for reaching our community even more effectively using the latest and greatest techniques. (So, if you thought we were pushing it now… hahaha! j/k… that’s all a joke.) OK, in all seriousness all we’re trying to do is shift the church out of a maintenence mode and into something clearer. To do that we need to run and hide in the woods.
The second step in this is coming up with departmental vision for adults, students, and kids. This is the part that really effects "how we do stuff" in the church. So… pretty much every single thing we do in the church is one the table. There are no sacred cows going into this.
Of course, this is just a tempter post since I won’t be able to post any of the results of this time for a while. But I am sure I will be posting some of the good times we’re to have.
p.s. If you have a chance, introduce yourself to Jim… he’s new to Romeo. Jim is our new instrument… the djembe. He’ll be appearing at Light Force and Bonfire.
