Mission Statement Review

This Autumn I’d like to offer us the opportunity as a Church family to reflect upon the day-to-day life of the Church, and our plans for the future. As I have now been your Minister for 10 years, I think it’s a good time to do an audit and it is five years since we did the last one!

Our Mission Statement says that

‘Together as a Church Family, we are striving to love God and all peoples. Our vision is to see lives, relationships and communities transformed by the love of God in Jesus Christ’.

And so, we will be hosting three meetings for you to come along and discuss what we are doing well, how we might do things differently, and how we might explore new opportunities to share the Gospel of Jesus, here in Ormskirk and in the wider community. Please come along to these meetings, this is a community of which you are all a part. And if you cannot make a meeting but have something to share, please also let me know.

On Tuesday 22nd September at 7.00pm we will look at Worship and ways of engaging with one another through Prayer and Scripture.

On Tuesday 13th October at 7.00pm we will look at our mission and outreach and explore new ways to reach out to the wider community, in particular young adults.

On Tuesday 10th November at 7.00pm we will look at our plans to apply for our Silver Eco Church Award.

This is not an exhaustive list but it’s a start and if you think there are other areas of our Church Life that would value a discussion, please also let me know.

In addition, on Monday 21st September at 1.30pm, the District Communications team will be offering training in the use of social media platforms to advertise and report on Church Events. Everyone is welcome – you do not need to have technical skills already!
