The first of the four conversations will be this Sunday, August 1 following worship. There will be three more extending into September. Each is a response to the ideas we have heard about the direction we think Pilgrim might move in. They include ideas for program, building use, worship style, mission and fellowship. If you have an idea that is not represented here, please speak up.
August 1: Worship Experience and Space – how we structure the central activity of our common life. In this conversation we will consider ideas for altering the space and using different styles and tools to make the experience as meaningful and relevant as possible.
August 15: The Face we show our Neighbors – Who we say we are and how we let others know who we are. In this conversation we will consider who we say we are and how we might communicate who we are to those in the broader community so that they might discover how affiliation with Pilgrim can enrich their lives.
August 29: Connecting to the Community around us – Who we are connected to, how we work with them, and for what end. In this conversation we will identify all of the institutions around us with which we are affiliated and consider who we might clarify and strengthen the ones which are most important to our mission.
September 19: Honoring our Inheritance – How we use the building and the investments. In this conversation we will consider what resources we have been given by our forebears and imagine how we might be the best stewards of those resources given the age of the building and the changing nature of the Church and our community.
Please try to attend all four. If you can’t, check in on the web site for Pilgrim Partners at http://pilgrimnext.pbworks.com/.
