I have never liked committee meetings; there is something about the word "committee" that causes my stomach to flutter, not to mention what the thought of an actual meeting does. I think the Southern Baptist Convention invented them, or it might have been the Northern Church of the Nazarenes, regardless, it was a mistake. There must be a better way to get things accomplished in the church than by the use of committees; nevertheless, it is my understanding that GCF had one last night that was quite exciting.
Travis had previously agreed to gather some folk around him for the purpose of determining how we can move forward with our worship/music. Well, this group met last night after our LEFTOVER time and from what I can understand, it was a very positive meeting. Apparently, each of them left energized to find the Holy Spirit's direction. You might imagine how this excites me!
Just for the record, those in attendance were the following: Travis Almand, Larry & Joanie Adams, Dudley & Debbie Bluhm, Syd Kiser, Greg Elrod, and Annis Goddard (I hope I didn't leave anyone out!). Now that you have their names, please begin to pray for them, as they continue their search, and I might add, let them know how much you appreciate their willingness to take on this opportunity.
A rose called by any other name is still a rose (or so someone said) and in much the same way, a "committee" meeting called by any other name is still a "committee" meeting, but mercy how I hope we can coin a new word to use in its place--something like "opportunity" meeting, or "eager beaver's" meeting, or BLOG meeting, anything but "committee" meeting!
Regardless of what we call the meeting, I am thankful for the willingness of this group to take on this privilege, one that will benefit each of us!
Your Pastor
