Missions Ephasis

Tonite is the big meeting with the powers that be to discuss how much facility expansion we need to consider to meet the needs of our congregation. Meetings tend to be long w/o much seemingly accomplished, however, we've got a great crew of men and women and I think they have a sense of what is important. Going to be interesting to see the direction we go in.

To build or not to build?

Church Growth what a topic to stir the hearts of men, women and anybody else. Boils down to: Do we need more facility or do we have to many people sitting in pews! I lean towards the latter. Let's fund mission trips/work camps/worldview learning opportunities as opposed to larger halls. We would free up sitting spots if we had _ percent of our current pew sitters involved in out of the comfort zone travel. Let's spend on making it economically possible. If we are serving others in His name we would "grow"!
