We held our third Town Hall family meeting on Sunday, November 13 and were blessed with a very large turnout. Our objective of the meeting was to introduce the ministry plan for 2023 as well as an update of the current year. The volume of questions we received, about 50, would indicate a high interest from everyone in this plan.
The button below will take you to the
"Q3 Questions and Answers".
As we reviewed the questions, we saw a focus on three key items;
- The possible calling of a deaconess to help our ministry for women of the congregation as well as work in the local mission field for us.
- The initiation of a mission venture and possible future worship site in the off island, Bluffton area.
- The third involved financial questions and concerns.
When we, the LMT, look at the growth this congregation has seen in the past several years, we have the vision that God is leading us down a very exciting path and we are very encouraged to present plans to you that we feel continue us in this direction. However, in our efforts to remain transparent and trusting the Holy Spirit to work in this family, we want and welcome your input. We have another Town Hall on Sunday, December 4 to further pursue the discussion of the "ILC Ministry Priority 2023" plan.
We would like to focus on three key issues at that meeting that were presented in the questions we received: the call of a Deaconess, the mission efforts off island and our finances.
This meeting will again be held during the Bible Study hour between services and is important to the LMT in finalizing the budget that will be presented on Sunday, December 18 at a congregation voters meeting. This meeting format will be an open discussion rather than written questions.
We ask that you consider and pray on the plan we presented and look forward to your input and guidance on Sunday, December 4.
Please review the answers to your questions below for our discussions on Sunday, December 4.
