We had a great elders retreat in Lake Geneva:
Are we/how can we be sure that every member understands the gospel?
Are we/how can we be sure that the good stuff happening all around the church is fruit growing from the gospel root and not just “good deeds?”
Spent time considering Colossians 1:28-29 as a key passage that informs our goal and our process.
Also Ephesians 4:12-16 as a perfect description of our goal and the process (involving every member) toward fulfilling that goal.
We had rich times of prayer and again appreciate your prayers for us.
