COME AND JOIN  US AS WE CONSIDER THE CHALLENGES FOR THE NEW YEAR

SIX CHOICES FOR THE CHURCH
IN 2011

1.  Life over Death
T0 DO NOTHING IS TO DIE!!
GET TOGETHER SOME “BRIGHT EYES”

2.  Community over Isolation
Do You have a community -
Can You find a community -

3.  Fun over Drudgery
Fun should start in worship -
It doesn’t stop when worship is over -

4.  Bold over Mild
In the 1820s it was Methodist vs Episcopalians -
Methodist had more courage -

5.  Frontier over Fortress
TAKE IT OUT OF THE BUILDING -
TAKE IT TO YOUR NEIGHBOR -


6.  Now over Later
NOW OR NEVER FOR SOME LITTLE CHURCHES -
