Pastoral Musings

We have recently recieved a large gift of $22,000 that is undesignated. The Board of Stewards needs your help in making a decison about the use of these funds. Here's your chance to brainstorm and offer input. How do you think these funds should be used? No, we are not interested in paying your rent or buying you a car.

We just completed an amazing weekend with several of our missionaries. It is always good to evaluate what our strengths and weaknesses were this weekend. We sponsored a "Circus for Christ" dinner and presentation on Saturday night where our clowns preformed as they have done in another culture. We listened to some of our short term missionaries present the work they engaged in this past summer. We listen to Juan and Laura Salazar give us a portrait of their ministry in Juarez. So I am interested in your feedback.

What worked for you and what didn't?

Do you have a better understanding ofthe nature of missions?

Do you haveany recommendations forthe future?
