Yep, reality. Tomorrow is going to be a big day in the life of Grace Chruch. It is the day for meeting with Bishop Drew Smith and his cohort Jack Spaeth. We will all be meeing after a three thirty Healing Service.
The title of the Bishop's offering is "Six types of congregations we have known and loved in the Diocese of Connecticut." My hope is that this presentation will awaken parish members to the obvious plight of our parish. That it can no longer exist as it has up to this point. That there is just enough money to take us through 2011. That there is no longer a choice. Well, yes, there is a choice. Remain how we are, then close the doors.
My greatest hope is that reality will open hearts and minds to new ways of doing church. New ways of worship. New ways to spread the gospel. CHANGE!
I can hope.
