This Sunday, we celebrate Laity Sunday, giving thanks for the gifts, faith, and leadership of laypeople in the life of our church.
What does it mean to be a church rooted in love, and where might God be leading us next? On this Laity Sunday, UMCW lay leaders Linda Keefer and Bill Kruger invite us to reflect on the visions that have shaped our church, who we have been, and who we want to be as a church. Together, Linda and Bill will invite us to imagine what God might be calling our church to become in the years ahead.
Lay leadership has been central to the Methodist tradition since the early days of the Methodist movement, which grew through the power of the Holy Spirit and the faithful witness of laypeople. As we begin planning for next year, Linda and Bill will introduce an opportunity for our congregation to come together to pray, share, and dream boldly about our future. Through a visioning process that explores our well-being, relationships, service, and resources, we will imagine new possibilities for our ministries, our community, and generations to come.
When we dream together, every voice matters, our shared hopes grow stronger, and we create space for God to work through us in new ways. Join us as we begin crafting a vision for our church, rooted in love and open to God's possibilities.
Following worship, please stop by the lobby to vote for your preferred date for the upcoming two-hour congregational visioning session: Saturday, November 14, from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., or Sunday, November 15, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
