Face to Face

Yesterday evening, First Lutheran had its first "listening group," and it was fantastic. Thanks to all of you who were there.

Readers of this blog will know that our church community is trying to clarify its identity and calling. Just exactly who are we and what exactly are we supposed to do?

Last night we asked ourselves these and related questions and had some good heart to heart talking about it. I value these conversations at one level just because they are good venues for articulating great ideas. But, even more, I value these conversations because they allow us to build ownership and partnership together. We can look each other in the eye and build our team together.

If any of you haven't signed up for one of our listening group opportunities yet, please do. You'll be glad you did, and so will I!

How fun to have them off-campus! I will pray they go very well.
