Over the past nine months a group of us have been working on redefining our church vision and strategy. In a sense we've been asking what our church is for, so we can find a simple way of expressing it that will make sense to people and inspire them in their own spiritual journey.
So here it is: St Michael's is about KNOWING God for ourselves, GROWING in faith and in numbers, and SHOWING God's love and power to the world. All our church activities should help us to achieve one or more of these goals, directly or indirectly. It's about us as individuals, us as a body of Christians, and making a difference in the world.
How well do you think we are achieving these goals? How could we as a church help you to know God and grow in faith? What else could we do to show his love and power to others? If we are to be effective, we need some practical answers to these questions. We'd love to hear your comments! In the meanwhile, please read the Knowing, Growing, Showing leaflet (which will be published shortly) and pray about your response!
