Tonight should be a significant "milestone" for our church. The Core Vision Team and the Session (our church's board of elders) will discuss and hopefully approve our church's Core Vision.
This reminded me of a recent blog post by management guru Tom Peters on the importance of milestoning.
Agreeing on a vision is a milestone - a point worth celebrating. However it is not the end point. Actually calling and installing a new pastor is also a milestone and not the end point. As we reach any significant goal or milestone in our church or individual lives, may we borrow from Paul writing to the church at Phillipi:
No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us. (Philippians 3: 13-14, NLT)
Be in prayer that we stay tuned in to where God is leading.
