These are the reflections of Pastors Russ, Sid, and Shannon on Saint Joseph UMC's time of prayer and listening for the direction and focus God might be leading the church into in the coming years. The reflections here are just that, thoughts shared from prayers and conversations, they are not meant to be statements of final authority but rather a glimpse into the process of discernment.
The thoughts and comments shared here are a part of the process of discernment. Just because something is posted does not mean that it is set in stone. Please ask questions and add your comments to the discussion as we all interact together in this process of discernment.

Following our meeting on Sunday evening (April 5th) I am very excited about this time to commit ourselves to prayer. I was excited by the hoesnty and openness that everyone shared and showed at the meeting.
I wonder what was exciting for other people?
Shalom,
russ
I, too, am very excited with the road we are beginning to travel. I am excited that we are seeking God's will as a body and listening for his direction. I expect an awesome time of growth in this process- growth in my personal relationship with God, growth in the realtionships within the church body and physical growth of St Joseph within our community. Our God is a truly, awesome God!
I think this is so well said. It is a powerful moment when GOd's people unite in listening. I think Heidi brings out a second great point. That when we enter a process like this we, as a whole, and we, as individuals, will grow closer to God. That is exciting!
Shalom,
russ
