Celebrate and Wonder

Dear Church:

Your Transition Task Force Co-Chairs met this week. We began with recalling the “Code of Conduct” we all agreed to way back during our orientation in May. We have covenanted to “Be the Kind of Person Others Can Trust” with:


Collaboration & Compromise
Open Mindedness
Civility: Respectful Listening
Asking Clarifying Questions
Graciousness
Persuasive Listening
Sensitivity to Creation
Honesty
Ownership of Ideas
“I” Language
Assuming Good Intent
Kindness

Everyone shared a story or instance from the last 3 months of intentional transition work where they experienced these healthy ways to “live among God’s faithful people,” (Baptismal rite, ELW). This Task Force has done remarkable ministry already in 3 or so months and much more discernment and tasks are before us.  

This Sunday, September 25, as a church,  we pause to celebrate and to wonder:  Where is God leading us?  I invite you to:
  1.  Worship and enter the celebration this Sunday. Explore the “museum” of stories and faces. Enjoy food and music!
  2. Take time this Sunday (and for a few weeks following) to check out the Ctk/Cristo Rey timeline and share your own stories.
  3. Take a breath and pause.  Where have you noticed someone living out one of those healthy ways to be a church?  
I give thanks to the Mission & Vision Team who have crafted this celebration and all who have prepared and volunteered.  And for the countless hours that the entire Task Force has given, I thank God!
