Finishing to start

Just finished a sermon series that engaged the competencies for the Kansas Leadership Center with scripture and some of our specific challenges as a church community. The purpose of the series was to lay some groundwork for the upcoming opportunities for our church community to rethink our vision and what we have been doing not only the last few years, but also the last decade or so.

We've asked the Pleasant Valley UMC church community the question: When you think about your community, what concerns you the most? We've gotten lots of feedback. Some of it complaining about the church but we have also had some wonderful comments about the concerns and hopes of different individuals in the community.

I am excited about our collective "Hope for the Future." I am excited as we as a church community and the different core groups of leadership in the church as we converge around the adaptive possibilities of engaging, understanding and serving our surrounding community.
