We welcome you to this blog which will serve as one aspect for sharing and input.
We hope that this will help create the space for the Spirit to act and lead us to interact with one another as we discern His will for us and our church.
Thanks for being a part of this important journey!
God's peace,
Fr. Jim

Cool
Snazzy layout, btw.
This blog is a good idea.
ACT you are in my prayers.
May the Lord change us in a way that we do not change Him. May we ascend toward Him and His heavenly kingdom. May we become children of God through the transforming life we have at Ascension.
Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. - James 1:17 NIV
3. "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4.Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 5."And whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me. Matthew 8:3-5 NIV
thank you both for your input. I hope that this can get some "life" and invite folks into the conversation.
The Team covets your prayers.

I think there is a glaring lack of information about what this ACT team is trying to do. This is causing some to become concerned that major decisions are being made by a secretive few, to be later imposed on the rest of the body without their input. It would seem prudent at this point to do several things to alleviate these concerns:
1. Post minutes of the ACT meetings
2. Use Adult Forum time with the ACT members present to allow for Q&A from the body - presided by Fr. Jim
3. Take time during Sunday Morning during announcements to describe the charter of the ACT Team and give a brief status on progress to date
How can any ACT decisions result in positive change without the concurrence of those who will be affected?
