The church in business meeting of October 6th
voted several important matters.

limited modifications of the proposals that had been
prepared by the Vision Catching team and approved by the
church board, the following statements were voted:

______________________________________________________________________________________________
These statements are the result of much
prayer and hundreds of hours of “listening” to the Holy
Spirit and to one another. I want to thank each of you for
your prayerful support for this process that began eight
months ago in February.
These statements will be the guiding vision
for our church in the months ahead. Let’s remember that
these statements are not set in stone.
They simply represent where we believe God has led us to at
this point in our collective journey. We need to be willing
to continue seeking God’s direction and vision and be open
to new things He will reveal to us.
Will you join me in committing these vision and mission
statements to memory; and more importantly would you ask God
to help us live them out in our individual and collective
lives?
