Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
This past summer after the clean up for the tornado had begun we took time to use the Module from LCMS Re:Vitality – “Serving in God’s Mission” a strategic planning module for congregations. We did this Strategic Planning Module from June until August. Increased communication and building excitement and a general consensus throughout the congregation is one of the key cornerstones of creating and then implementing a Strategic Plan.
In order for more feedback and better communication and input from all of the members of our congregation, I will be leading during the Bible Study Hour an overview of the goals that we had collaborated to make last summer. The dates of these Feedback Sessions are Sundays, January 12th, 19th and 26th during the Bible Class hour in the Fellowship hall. 9am-10am. We will begin with the Bible Study about “Serving in God’s Mission”. Then we will do an overview and listen to feedback on the “SMART” goals that we have collaborated on previously.
We are open to adapt and make any changes to any of our goals to get all of our members pulling in the same missional direction. We value your input and want your voice, questions, and ideas about these goals and any other goals that we want to implement as a Congregation.
These efforts of using the Module of “Serving in God’s Mission” is a result of the congregational survey that we did in March of 2024. The CADDS Survey, Congregational Assessment of Development and Decline Status.
Please make an effort to attend Adult Bible Study on Sundays, January 12th, 19th and 26th from 9am-10am as we go over the module Serving in God’s Mission and the Bible Study that accompanies the program.
In Christ’s Peace,
Pastor Ryan Honeycutt
