A very heartfelt thanks for the great thought and energy that went into the dialogue on Sunday. What is amazing to me is that very similar ideas and recurring themes came to the table independently. To me this indicates the Holy Spirit is speaking, bringing confirmation of God's will. Meetings with much disagreement, or disparate views seems to indicate more individual agendas.
Please continue to pray for the next few days as I try to capture what was said on paper (or computer). I really want the content of the conversation to be a guide for some more practical application as to how we worship at the Bible Church.
Please also begin to pray for adding members to the Worship Advisory group, if that is something that God truly wants. Can we pray for discernment, that the impulse to add is out of love and a true desire to care more completely for the body, and not "church politics".
Please also pray for how we can best serve the body. Do we continue to quietly serve behind the scenes, which I think is a very compelling option, or is there any benefit, and edification that would come from being more visible and accessible? The motive for being more visible should be similar to the one that led to the introduction of all the elders to the congregation months ago. If someone in the congregation needs help of any sort, they know who they can talk to. There may be benefit in just knowing who is serving on the WAG so that they can be prayed for.
Appreciate your thoughts on these items. I will be coordinating our next meeting time in the next few days via email. Thanks again everybody.
