Missional Words

Thursday, August 20th, 2009

The Faith UMC has been going through a spiritual planning process where leaders are trained and the church values, mission, goals, and strategies are established.   We have a new draft Mission Statement that was first shared with the church at our Administrative board meeting on August 17.  

I am going to tease you just a bit, by not sharing the whole Mission Statement, I will do that shortly.

But I was struck as I reviewed it again this week what strong words it contained.   

Community

God’s Grace

Celebration

Worship

faith development

ministry

world

You can probably piece together something close to our draft statement from those words.   But before you do that.  Stop a moment and reflect on each of those words.

Strong words to live up to as Faith looks to the future.
