Dear member of Lowe,

It has been almost a year now since we began our Clearing Our Vision journey and how much have we packed in! Surveys of the local community, video interviews at the crossroads, the course with David Millen and Chris Hollies from Evangelical Ministries, Aims Teams, Day Conferences and lots of prayer and talk.

Having spent so much time talking and listening, Session’s job has been to put together all of your ideas together into one complete picture under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. If you remember we actually talked about picture postcards of what our congregation would look like in three years from now. Well, here they are: the next steps we believe we need to take, in order to take us onwards and forwards towards that postcard!

The Vision Statement we drew up together, describes our ‘three years from now’ postcard, namely: “To do what must be done in order to reach the whole community for Christ by becoming a loving fellowship of Christ’s people, worshipful and open, vibrant and relevant, expectant and helpful – a church for all the community.”

Having spent so much time thinking, talking and seeking God, we believe that now is the time for action (in faith and prayer)! Below you will see a list of Projects, each requiring a “Project Action Team” to implement them. We want as many as possible of the congregation to join up and get involved in each of the “Project Action Teams” (or P.A.T.s, for short).

While some P.A.T.s have projects which will be fulfilled in 6 months, others are longer in scope and will take up to 1 – 3 years. Each P.A.T. falls within one of the six original areas we focused on under the Aims Teams.

We hope this will excite you as much as it has excited us and together we can build a church and ministry here in Finaghy that is worthy of the name of Jesus.

It is time for Action. It is time “to do what must be done” in order to reach the whole community of Christ!
