Dear Geneva Family,
Last night about 25 people gathered at Geneva to reflect and brainstorm about how we can participate in Bryan's sabbatical in the summer of 2013. It was a blessing to hear stories, hopes, dreams and ideas about Geneva, what our faith community means to us, and where sense God leading us in the future. We would love to have YOU be part of the conversation as well.
We will be combining the meeting that had been scheduled for Saturday morning with the on that will be held on Sunday afternoon, April 15, following the 11:00 service. (No meeting on Saturday) Please stay for awhile after church so you can share your ideas with us -- or, in the case of those of you who come at 8:30, please consider coming back for the meeting.
Lunch will be served, so it is important that we know whether you are coming or not. If you haven't already signed up for Sunday's meeting, please either reply to this email or call the church office at 734-459-0013.
During the meeting we will be discussing the following quesions. You may like to give them some thought before Sunday.
1. As you think about Bryan being on sabbatical, what thoughts, emotions, questions, concerns do you have?
2. As you think about where Geneva has been, what aspect of our life and ministry do you think God wants to deepen and develop?
3. If Geneva were to be faithful to that call, how would it be different five years from now than it is today?
If you can't come to the meeting, you are welcome to think through those questions and respond by replying to this email or contacting any of the Sabbatical Team Members, who are Brian Anderson, Linda Stover, Dave Bunch, Louise Schneid, Keith McBain, and me, Cindy Thomas.
I hope to see all of you here at 12:30 on Sunday!
Grace and peace,
Cindy Thomas
