This past week the council met for the first time in the calendar year. As usual we met to pray but we also met to talk about the year ahead. Where did we sense God calling us to focus our energies as a church in 2017?
The answer was clear: worship. It was something he had been speaking to a number of people in our church about ever since the 10th Anniversary celebration. Through dreams and words, God had been communicating his heart for us in this coming season. As we met on Tuesday night, it was really just a review of what already was being spoken - and then a "yes and amen".
So this is our theme for the year ahead. For some it will be a renewal of sorts, for others just another step in the long obedience. Whatever the case, our hearts are being wooed by the creator. Let's offer them.
Here's a song to set the tone - "Rest in You" by All Sons and Daughters
