As most of you are aware our church has embarked upon several initiatives in which we are seeking God’s guidance regarding our work for the Kingdom at this time, and in this place.
One of those initiatives is our “Bold Faithfulness” journey which has involved many of you already and will continue to need your input and participation as we continue our walk. Our eleven-member team has begun this process by gathering as much information as possible, including:
· historical information about our church,
· the state of the church in America,
· your thoughts/input via our round table discussions,
· a panel discussion in which we heard from leaders in the Aiken community,
· additional individual conversations with other leaders in our community,
· conversations with individuals who are unchurched and/or have left the church
In addition, we have sought guidance from our friend and congregational leadership specialist, Dr. Bill Wilson. Along with his valuable experiences and advice our team has been extremely busy seeking input from as many sources as possible.
We are currently reviewing that information and have been developing a format to better understand and share what we have learned. This process will take us a few more weeks, but once this is completed, we plan to bring this information to you at a congregational gathering on Sunday, November 17, at 9:30 am in the Fellowship Hall. We are very excited about what we have heard and look forward to sharing this information on the 17th.
This journey began with the founding of our church nearly 200 years ago, and throughout those years God has called our church to Serve and Love. As we continue to seek what it is that He is calling us to do today, please pray for our community, our church, and our willingness to understand and embrace the Bold Faithfulness we will need to accomplish this calling.
God Bless,
Randy Duckett
Bold Faithfulness Committee Member
