It seems to me that many churches do vision badly primarily because they make it too complicated with too many words. What we are beginning to do here at Church in the Market Place (CMP) is to develop a simple slogan that encapsulates the heart of what we are seeking to do for God. So far it really seems to be connecting with people and I'm beginning to hear this phrase and the idea of connection throughout the congregation.
To reinforce this we have now started at series of 7 messages which give greated content and meaning to what it means to "connect @ cmp ... with God ... with Self ... with Others." So far we have looked at .connect@cmp being about ENGAGING WITH GOD. Then we looked at .connect@cmp being about EXPOSING OTHER TO JESUS. This week we will look at .connect@cmp being about ENCOURAGING ONE ANOTHER. The following weeks we will look at EQUIPPING, EMPOWERING, ENLARGING AND EXCELLING.
