Announcement of New Service Structures
all morning services, 19 Sep 2010
Background
Drift in numbers
- esp 9am
Recognize two issues:
- Different styles
- Ownership of times
Little disagreement on 1, much angst on 2.
Council has decided (with help from the Faith Community) on 1:
- meditative service
- traditional service
- children and families service
- youth service
- contemporary, experimental service
For the last, we have settled upon "Fresh Expressions"
- information sessions have been held
- Alanee currently visiting churches in the UK to see FE at first hand
- Council is excited about the possibilities
- no time here to tell you about it
- targets the "unchurched" with church needs
Timetable has been set
- 21 Nov is last 9am service in the current format
- Dec/Jan is single morning service (10 or 11)
- 2 Feb is first new 9:30 Fresh Expressions service
- 8, 11, 4:30, 7 will remain
Re ownership, we need to approach the issue with sensitivity, openness, compassion
- openness to new ideas
- sensitivity to the needs of others
- compassion for the deep feelings of loss of ownership
- discharge these through discussion, congregational meeting 22 Nov
