Just finished a six hour Friday/Saturday board retreat.
We were neither board (bored) nor retreating. I had great fun with the three other men on our church board. They laughed, cried, prayed, planned and walked away with excitement.
We took a great vision statement that was put together in the early 90’s. In affirming it’s relevance for today, we hashed it around (I’ve got to watch the words I use, one of the board members was a “hippie” in his days and knows what hash is!), turned it upside down (another member works with Kindersley Transport – got to watch which way up you put things in your trucks), and painted a new word picture (the last board member does maintenance for a condo in town!).
So, here is what we are about:
God Celebration, Ministry Preparation, People Support and Community Care.
We recognize that for the next while that will include an emphasis on Diversity in Unity, Outreach and having an Equipping Culture.
All of this will need to be wrapped in constant, candid and consistent communication.
In God’s time and for His glory!
