Engaging the Conversation

What can I do to find out more? What can I research?

Today we seek to face these realities with gratitude for our past, wisdom in the present, and hope for the future.

Below you will find resources that speak to the ways in which the world, society, faith communities, and our congregation have changed.

Guidelines to Healthy Conversations

The “10 Commandments of Healthy Communications” were distributed by author Brian McLaren at the Deep Shift Conference with permission to “use them and make your own.”

Prayer

Whether in your personal prayers or as we gather in groups, we believe in and encourage prayer. We encourage all to continually pray for God’s vision and direction for your life and our life together. We also ask you to hold in prayer our leaders, congregation, and pastor.

Weekly prayer meetings are held at 6:30 pm Wednesday evenings. All are welcome.

The Change Cycle

The Change Cycle by Ann Salerno & Lillie Brock

A helpful model of the many ways that we – as individuals, groups, and a community – experience change, comes from Ann Salerno and Rev. Lillie Brock. The mode helps you locate where you may be on the journey and what questions or activities may be beneficial.

They summarize the model and various stages on their website, The Change Cycle, and present the model in greater detail in their book.

Rev. Lillie Brock has used the model to help churches of various sizes, and is a colleague and friend of Pastor Kevin.
