Let’s Meet the Coach

We took an initial step in the Beta-Vitality Project on Sunday, August 25 when we took a survey that will be processed by a company called Natural Church Development. Thank you all who took the time to ex the boxes. The next step is to meet our coach.

If you don’t know what I’m talking about please read the article in the Pastor’s Blog.

Our coach is Reverend John Haller, a retired United Methodist pastor from the Southwest Texas Annual Conference who lives in Bellingham. Aside from his Texas twang and having way too much hair, I deem him to be, after an initial meeting, an amiable person and I’m looking forward to working with him.

So get ready and mark your calendars, Sunday, September 8 after the second service. Reverend Haller will be spending two hours with us to learn about our Church. We would like for as many people as possible to join us – to be involved. We do not want this process to simply be about the committee.

Since Reverend Haller will be leading this time I do not know what he will ask, but I suspect it will involve similar questions to those posed on the survey. How well do we see ourselves doing regarding particular aspects of ministry – worship, evangelism, small groups, organization and structure? There will also be questions about our feelings and commitments to our Church. It could be a very exciting and enriching discussion – and everyone is invited.

A light lunch will be provided as will childcare. Pastor Jim
