This past Sunday during the Sunday School hour Bob Foy presented an overview of the Lay Led renewal process. To find out more click on "Church Renewal Journey" and read about the process. You can view the video Bob showed during his presentation.
Very simply, this is a lay led process designed to engage and involve members to discover and understand God has called each of us to ministry. Bob made a piercing statement which is very true ...... each and every person who has accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior has been called to ministry. In fact God has specifically equipped and gifted us for this ministry. Ultimately the success of Jefferson Street Baptist Church will not be measured in its number of members, how large its Sunday School grows to or how big its budget becomes. These things will fall into place when you and I begin to use our gifts to minister on a daily basis.
Our Pastor has challenged us to pray about what God will have us do - shall we begin the journey or shall the status quo be maintained? Pray and God will answer. On the upper right side of the blog you will find a simple confidential survey. I ask you to complete it and we will provide this feedback to the church leadership. The survey is not limited to our class. Send a church member the blog address and encourage them to participate. It is realy quite simple.

Danny, I tried to vote but it keeps telling me that the page cannot be found?? It will show me the results but when I vote it is not working. Maybe it is just me...Susan
Susan,I believe the host server is down. Try to vote later today. I tried to reconstruct the poll and got the same message. When it is restored it will show "0" votes. I checked the poll this morning and there were three "yes" votes and zero "no" votes. I will correct the poll to reflect these votes when the problem is resolved.
Danny, it is Friday afternoon at 1:55 p.m. and it is still not working. Sorry!! Susan
