Hello Church,
It's official. It's October. My mission begins! I am encouraging you to renew yourself. I am meeting with anyone and everyone and preaching it and teaching it. Ready?
Relax.
Chill out.
Reconnect.
Talk with one another.
Fellowship.
I will be all about this for the next 3 months. My desire to talk about tasks has gone away. I want us to sit back and think about how we know one another. I want us to prayerfully contemplate who we are and how we relate with one another.
I think some haven't taken be seriously enough yet. It's okay. I understand. As a pastor who has been task/results oriented, I have minimized the significance of fellowship. That pastor no longer exists.
So if you come to me because such n such needs to get done, understand that I will seriously consider as to whether or not it is a task that the church NEEDS to get done. If it can wait 3 months, then it probably will.
We are a tired church. We need to rest. Don't worry. It's only 3 months. It goes fast.
So everything we do, I will try to turn it into a fellowship time with minimal tasks.... everything..... worship, ministry team meetings, special events, study time, etc.....
We can't move forward if we are too tired to move forward.
3 months.... October... November... December.... and then January is here. Get rested.
God is Good,
Pastor Joe
