Annual meetings are a requirement of our polity. But they are so much more than that. They are a chance to tell our story and to set direction.
For me, annual meetings are a chance to tell the truth and to celebrate who we are. Our annual meeting was spirited and we're going to look at our budget and our hiring plans a bit more. A sober second thought is never remiss as long as we don't stall our ministries.
What astounds me in my current ministry is the quality of people that offer their gifts to the church. As frustrated as I get with too much talk, this is the kind of talk that actually has a good purpose. I hope we can keep going forward in the spirit of God's intentions.
