Vision Review 2012


Why?

We are asking God to show us what he is calling us to do and to be over the next 3-5 years as we continue to share His life in this community.

How?

Through a process of "Appreciative Inquiry".

  • Discover where we have seen God's life most fully expressed over the last few years.
  • Dream of how our life together might be in the future if more of this was happening!
  • Then we start to Design how to make that possible

What?

The "Vision 2012" survey
Thank you very much to everybody for sharing their views on the life of the church over the last few years and their vision for our churches over the next three to five years.

A conversation during Lent
The responses to the questionnaire formed the basis of a conversation during Lent. The summary of this conversation can be found on
our blog http://rustwychurch-vision.blogspot.com/

NEW: Draft vision statement
At the AGM on 25 April we published a draft vision statement. It can be found on
http://rustwychurch-vision.blogspot.com/
Please give us feedback, by talking to a member of the vision team or on the blog.



A prayer for Vision 2012

Lord God of all that has been, that is and that will be,

We praise you for the warp and weft of history,

For the outworking of your plan for all creation,

And its culmination in the person of your Son, our Saviour Jesus Christ.

By the power of your Holy Spirit,

Help us to know our place in your glorious vision

And to live it out

To the glory and extension of your kingdom.  Amen
