The Meeting
Well, we had a church-wide meeting for those who could get away on Monday night at 1900 over at the Green's clubhouse. There were a lot of people there wondering what the next move was. Dean went over some of the history we have at RCC and allowed members of the board to chime in as well. We discussed how successful being in the theaters has been for us. We have been able to reach out and touch far more peoples' lives than we ever were able to in the church building. I think in this community we are in that makes an enormous difference. I'm sure in other communities the building is a big necessary deal, but here where we are it just has too much baggage associated with it and people are unwilling to enter. So after that discussion there were some questions but mostly people wanted to speak just to let us know they support us. It was neat to see because I know I have a ton of questions that I know there just aren't answers to yet, but people didn't inundate us with questions rather they took the time to let us know they supported the leadership of the church, had faith that we would make the proper decisions and that they pledged to keep us in prayer.
It is very humbling. It is very humbling to be used by God. It is humbling that God affords me the opportunity to speak to these people that He loves so dearly and help them in life. I am constantly humbled by the faith it appears God has in me. And it is humbling to see those I have the opportunity to serve in this congregation speak up to tell me they had faith in my decisions and would pray for me. I just know this move is going to be a big positive for us.
Okay, enough mushy stuff there. We are working extremely hard this week running around, identifying possible sites, checking them out, working on power requirements, working on storage requirements, working on coffee and donuts...there is a lot of logistics that goes into this. Ipray that we are given a clear path for the proper location. The clock is ticking. In 11 days we will be meeting in the new theater...wherever that is. Stay tuned here for updates.
