Becoming A Healthier Church: A Congregational Learning and Listening Process Becoming a Healthier Church is a congregational learning and listening process designed to help us reflect on who we are, how we relate to one another, and how we can prepare faithfully for future pastoral leadership. Several gatherings are being scheduled that will each include a brief teaching component on congregational health, followed by guided reflection and structured listening. The purpose is not to debate or assign blame, but to help us become more thoughtful, less reactive, more connected, and more open to God’s future for our church. This is not a town hall meeting, or a complaint session or a decision making meeting. It is a spiritual and relational process intended to help our church listen, reflect, and mature together. We are invited to speak from our own experience, listen without correcting others, and consider our own part in the health of our congregation. Each active participant in the life of Community in Christ is invited to sign up for one gathering. Gatherings are being limited to 15 participants. A variety of opportunities for participation are being provided in August. This is one of the steps in our process under Presbytery guidelines that will not only benefit us as a congregation but also move us closer to selection of our Pastor Nominating Committee. Reverend Kent Berry from High Point Family Therapy Services at Forest Hills Presbyterian Church in HIgh Point will be guiding us in this process. He often works with congregations in transition.
Sunday, August 16 11:00 a.m. Wednesday, August 19 6:30 p.m. Sunday, August 23 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, August 26 6:30 Sign up below by clicking the link! How to Sign Up: Click the sign-up link below. Enter your name and email. Choose one of the four dates. (If a date is missing, it has already filled up!)
If you have questions, reach out to a member of our planning team: Hope Rife, Lynne Poteat, Ron Walters, or Beverly Dye.
