Budget Time

If you've stopped by here in the past six weeks or so, I hope you'll forgive my extended absence. Community Day went well in a lot of ways. And like all things you do for the first time, it provided more lessons than I could possibly internalize.

We have continued our monthly Adopt-a-Block program, but after the summer, I needed a breather to recupe some passion and vision. I want to do more for our community than pick up trash. I want to move beyond charity. But I'm not exactly sure what that's going to look like, or even how it's going to happen.

And now, budget time is upon us. My intention is to blog through these questions as I wrestle my way through this annual exciting and equally frustrating time. It's a time for new ideas and approaches, for self-evaluation, and for new partnerships as we get a sense of the big picture.

May we be a church that understands and fosters God's plan for community.
