As this beds in, it is important that we do not lose sight of the activity of the church. After all, the governance exists to support the expressions of God&#8217;s love found across the life of the parish. To better understand, equip, and give direction to all this activity, the eldership is creating a 5-year vision to guide us as a church going forward.<\/p>\n<p>It is important that this vision is grounded in the life of the church as you experience it. Furthermore, it is dependent on our collective and prayerful understanding of what God is asking of us as a church in this season.
