SEEKING GRACE
Seeking Grace...the "results" are (almost) in! Thanks to very good help from organizers/callers and the willingness of participants to commit to sharing their time and insights, our "Seeking Grace" gatherings were wonderfully fruitful. Nearly 90 folks attended one of 16 small group gatherings and responded to my questions about the past, present and future of Grace UMC, including speculating about the perceptions others may have of our family of faith. "Seeking Grace" was designed to help me understand the "spiritual genetics" of our congregation...to better grasp how we came to this point in our journey, envision what God is calling us to be/where God is calling us and to begin to discern how we might work together to get there. We didn't have time to brainstorm any plans of action...yet! If you weren't able to attend one of these sessions, I hope you'll contact me or the church office. I'm planning to schedule at least two more "Seeking Grace" gatherings at times most convenient to you. So...what happens to all the thoughts, opinions and insights I've heard? I'm hoping to carve out a half-day soon to read and pray through the notes and begin the distillation process. Then, there'll be opportunities to share together and discern what God's Holy Spirit be nudging us toward. |
