We are creating cultural change for Living Word Lutheran Church.
At our half-yearly meeting in August the VISION2022 was launched with unanimous support. This endorsement opened up the opportunity to explore our vision with actual commitments. The first workshop held in September focused on a major change in how we are going 'to do church': from now on we are engaging the home as the primary location for faith-formation. In October, the second workshop will address our understanding of membership. The year of preparation will conclude with a congregational meeting in November to elect the new leadership whose goal it will be to facilitate our move forward to implement the 10 year plan in 2012.
After the summer holidays and Christmas festivities, our Annual General Meeting in February will update the congregation and set out the path from here on. In March, workshop number three will expand on the concept of participatory worship. Workshop #4 will address discipleship and gifts discovery. After Easter, we will aim to hold one significant workshop per month: resourcing individuals in their faith exploration, families in their role to provide faith-formation conversations, and how we as Christians can relate the Gospel to our everyday experiences living in the context of our 21st century secular and atheistic Gold Coast environment.
Stay tuned for ongoing updates ...
