Yesterday, I attended a meeting with some of our congregational leaders in a town about an hour’s drive away.  We gathered with leaders from 3 other churches to discuss how we were progressing in congregational transformation.  I was able to give a report as to how our congregation was making great strides in becoming more missional in our community. 

Looking back over the three-year process we’ve been going through, we have really come a long way.  God has transformed many lives - and of course, for the better.  Now we hope to solidify that momentum as we continue to structure ourselves for discipleship and mission. 

Sometimes we get so wrapped up in the day-to-day life of ministry that we lose sight of this.  I’m grateful for these kinds of opportunities for telling the “Good News” of God’s work in our congregation.  It helps me to remember the good stuff.
