Consultancy Discussions
At our last church meeting on Wednesday 28th June we agreed to set aside four Thursdays in the autumn to consider in detail the results of the consultancy conducted by Neil Young of the Baptist Union. We will use these meetings to prayerfully consider the issues raised by the church consultancy, create an agreed vision and identify what actions we need to take to realise the vision.
We have booked the following four Thursdays, at Adelaides:
- 28 September – The need for action
- 5 October – Identifying actions
- 19 October – Creating the vision
- 26 October – Setting priorities
Housegroups have agreed not to meet on these Thursday evenings, to allow as many people as possible to participate in the discussions.
We will take two hours (7:30 pm – 9:30 pm) on each of these evenings to spend a little more time in depth over some of the results of the consultancy, and to reflect, to pray, and to seek God’s leading in how we will benefit from the consultancy.
The expected outcome of the evenings will be a draft Action Plan containing detailed proposals for specific activities to support the vision. This plan will be submitted to the church for approval, and will also be reviewed and updated regularly.
