Vision Sunday
We regularly hear the statistics: year after year less people are joining and attending churches. Because of the winds of change and the waves of postmodernism, many churches are struggling to stay afloat. So more than ever our congregation cannot be aimlessly drifting like a ship without a compass.
Subsequently, over the past year our congregational leaders have been fervently seeking God’s will and direction for Family of Christ. We launched our strategic planning process by getting the entire congregation’s input through surveys, focus groups and interviews. Our three central questions have been:
- Where are we as a church? (What are our strengths and growth areas?)
- Where does the Lord want us to go?
- How do we get there?
So welcome to “Vision Sunday!” With joy and thanksgiving we are unfolding our new strategic plan. As the Lord leads and guides us through these new initiatives in the future, pray and ask, “What part can I play in faithfully implementing God’s plan?” Thank you for continually devoting yourself to the ministry of Family of Christ remembering: “Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed” — Prov 15:22.
