A couple of chapters ago, we started reading "The Thirty Precepts of the Sages". Number 21 spoke to me today, "It's better to be wise than strong; intelligence outranks muscle any day. Strategic planning is the key to warfare; to win, you need a lot of good counsel." I just got back from our 8th Welcome Coffee. My installation is tomorrow.
I am in the midst of forming our Natural Church Development Team. We are strategically looking for people with certain skills (researcher, pray-er, communicator, etc) and who are serving on certain teams (Christian Ed, Evangelism, and Stewardship & Finance...these are the ones that will make the most impact on our minimum factor, Passionate Spirituality).
We are also intentionally putting as many or more non-Council members on it as Council members. We have 3 of each right now. Three of our Welcome Coffees have yet to be represented. If you know someone who is a strategic thinker (or you are), let me know. When we gather for the first meeting, we will elect one among us to lead the team (it can't be me).
Please pray about this. It is so important to our church's future health and growth.
