Pastors' Corner ...
In
this month's newsletter, you'll notice that there are several articles
that provide information about new leadership structures, prioritizing
ministries, and beyond. Before you dig into everything, consider the
following:
- Take a deep breath
- Be in prayer about the items proposed
- Discern if there are areas that you are particularly energized about
- Consider feedback you may have for these changes & share them with the pastors and current elected church leaders
- Share how you’d like to be involved
Change
can be both exciting and anxiety ridden. Consider these proposals
works-in-progress and experiments we are going to try out over this
next year. In particular, I hope that you all are able to attend the
upcoming Administrative Council Meeting (Monday, September 13th, 6-9pm), where together we will discuss the priorities of our ministry for the upcoming year.
Remember,
God has important things to say through you and to you - so pay
attention to the stirrings of your heart. Find encouragement in the
ways that God's Spirit has been faithful to this community and will be
in our new journeys. Believe that your voice matters. Be open to the
wisdom of God that will be spoken to you through the voices of others.
Know that you have gifts to share. Bring your ideas and your love as we
chart out on this new path together.
Grace and Peace,
Pastor Stina Koppes
