"We, the consultation team, would like to thank Pastor Doug Barton, Staff, lay leadership and the congregation of Lapel Trinity/TLC United Methodist Church for the invitation to consult with this Body of Christ......Our prayer is that God will use this assessment exprience and consultation report to help Lapel Trinity/TLC UMC more effectively make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformaiton of the community and the world.....We the consulting team, want to thank you for the opportunity to serve your congregation through this Fruitful Congregation Journey assessment process. Our prayer and hope for your congregation is that God will use this process to help your church become more effective and fruitful. May God give you courage and strength as you move forward."
The consultation team provided a document defining our five (5) greatest strengths and our five (5) areas of concern. They then addressed those concerns by offering five (5) prescriptions to impliment. This document is available in the church office. If you were unable to attend Sunday's Worship Service at TLC and would like to obtain a copy of this document, please call Cindy in the office.
We will hold Town Hall Meetings on June 3rd, 12:15pm, at Trinity Life Center, and June 4th, 7:00 pm at Trinity Church downtown. Everyone is invited to attend these meetings to discuss these prescriptions.
"A Place Called Home"
The scriptures of the Easter Season speak time and again of the "Family of God", of loving one another as brothers and sisters, children of God. Sevral times the word "abide" invited us to reside, to dwell in the presence of the Risen One. on Easter a messenger tells the disciples to meeet the risen Jesus back at Galilee, the place they began together and the place where they lived and worked togther during His ministry. So, we introduce this series and invite you to explore with us during the next seven weeks what it means to have "a place to call home" in your spiritual lives.
