A DAY OF DISCOVERY is ... A time to dream
dreams …..
….A
time to ask questions ...
Where
is our church going?
What
is our church doing?
What
is its purpose?
….A
time to seek answers ...
What
is God doing in our community?
What
is God doing in our church?
What
is God calling us to do together?
Every Church needs to know why it
exists and for what purpose. In every faith community there are those who have
at least one dream or vision of what God is doing in their church. Put these
together and we have the beginnings of a wider exciting vision for our church,
its potential for mission and to engage with building the Kingdom.
Dreams and Visions are important;
‘Where there is no Vision the people perish.’ (Proverbs 29:18). We need to have
a vision, a sense of where we are going and how we might get there, but it is
God’s Vision we must seek, not ours.
The need for vision is crucial
for it can stimulate, transform and motivate us. It is essential, scriptural,
contemporary, and faces the future. It helps us in the forming of goals,
priorities, plans and action. Vision holds everything together.
A day of
discovery is a gift of time...
To dream
together
To seek God
together
To think
together
To talk
together
To put our
aims for the future together
To become
excited together
To discover
our collective Vision together
... a day for
everyone who has a link with our church in Matson
