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
