The idea of doing our Annual Church Business Meeting on a Sunday morning as our worship service seems a little strange to most people, especially people who have been around ‘church’ for many years. Church ‘business meetings’ are typically seen as boring, contentious and unnecessary by most people. Unfortunately, all to often, these perceptions are grounded in experiences that have been boring, contentious and unnecessary.
It is our conviction that doing the business of church ought to be a fabulous celebration of God’s work in and around us. We ought to recognize and be thankful for His gracious handiwork in unity as an assembly of believers. We ought to be able to discern His hand as it moves hearts to accomplish His will. Sunday, August 27th will be focused on doing these very things.
At the same time, people have questions and perspectives that need to be heard and related to. In order to hear the questions and perspectives from the ‘assembly’ or ‘congregation’ and seriously incorporate them, we must provide times to facilitate these questions. Therefore, we are offering two Town Hall Meetings to give details, as well gather your thoughts and perspectives. Sunday, August 13th (6 pm) and Monday, August 14th (7 pm) will be identical meetings that you can choose from. We will meet at the building that houses Quest (it is not the church… the church is the people… the building is simply brick and mortar).
We invite and encourage you to attend one of those meetings if you have questions or perspectives you want to offer to the leadership and one another. So we have an idea of interest, please sign up at the Ministry Table or on the event page.
Thanks for being a part of what God is doing in and through Quest.
Yours,
Kevin Hughes
