Sugarloaf UMC is, and always has been, a church seeking to be on the "cutting edge" of ministry; being more comfortable "outside the box" than in some pre-determined mold! Quite frankly, that is what drew me to want to be part of this incredible church. In January of this year, we launched a "20/20" Vision Team to spend an entire year dreaming, visioning and planning for where we are headed next. We want to know God's heart and call for us over the next 10 years! We want to seek God's plan rather than asking him to simply bless some plan of our making!
Would you be willing to share your thoughts with me and the Team? I would really like to know what you believe churches need to do today to best serve God and reach people. I would love to hear from you whether you are a member here at Sugarloaf or not! Hey, I would love to hear from you if you don't attend ANY Church because you've gotten turned off by church! You just may have something to say that we need to hear! Bring it on!
This blog is not set up to receive responses, so here is the deal. Share your thoughts with me at sgreene@sugarloaf.org I won't promise that we will use every idea, but who knows, your insights may spark a new ministry or a new focus for us.
Here are some suggestions to stimulate your thoughts:
WHAT IS THE BIGGEST MISTAKE YOU SEEING CHURCHES COMMITTING?
WHAT WOULD A CHURCH HAVE TO DO TO REACH YOUR UNCHURCHED FRIENDS?
WHAT IS THE GREATEST NEED FACING YOU OR YOUR FAMILY THAT THE CHURCH COULD HELP YOU WITH?
WHAT WOULD YOU MOST LIKE TO SEE YOUR CHURCH DO TO BE MORE EFFECTIVE?
I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR RESPONSES!
