church session

The church session is meeting on Thursday to discuss church matter's and business. Please pray for us as we seek to discern what God is saying to us regarding WBCC's future and direction. I talked on Sunday about loving the town and seeking its welfare with practical demonstration of God's love. I very much believe that this will shape the direction we take, but we must hear what God is saying so as not just to jump on the latest bandwagon but do what God is calling us to do. We must build for something lasting not just a quick fix, this will mean developing strategy and setting some goals, but we must not think that plans alone will solve it! We must be empowered by the Spirit of God if we are to be effective in seeing people come to faith in Christ, not merely rely on our plans or effort.

Obviously this will not just be shaped in one evening but will be something that we will be working on over the coming months.

Pray...

• for wisdom
• for courage
  
• for ears to hear what the Spirit of God is saying
• that we would be empowered by the Spirit of God in leading the church to be effective in mission/evangelism
• that we would be creative and imaginative as we think through the future
