1 ST. JAMES LUTHERAN CHURCH Newsletter South State Street Greenfield Indiana Our Mission: To bring people to Christ, encouraging relationships with Him and others. INSIDE THIS EDITION Pastor s Page Council Corner Healthy Churches Thrive Fellowship Photos of the Month Bits and Pieces Birthdays and Anniversaries Thought for the Day Do not waste time bothering whether you love your neighbor; act as if you did. As soon as we do this, we find one of the great secrets. When you are behaving as if you loved someone, you will presently come to love him. ~C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity 1
2 Dear Friends, Pastor s Page While the weather has been exceptionally cold, my heart has been warmed considerably over the last several weeks as I watch the excitement generated through our consulting process with Church Doctor Ministries. God is doing a new thing at St. James and within me personally. While I love the people of St. James, I was beginning to question, over the last year, what potential our church had for the future and what my role (if any) should be. God has used this process to reveal things to me that I could not see before. A new vision if you will, for this ministry. I believe that a healthy church is one that is growing spiritually and numerically (the first being most important). Yet I have no desire to lead a mega church. If our church got to the point that our facilities could not hold the number of people coming, I would likely suggest a satellite church be established. But all that is really for God to decide. Our part in this is to grow into faithful disciples and engage in the actions expected of a disciple. God will then do what he wants with this ministry. Any church that is not growing is dying, even if it is a slow death. When churches are about the business of creating disciples instead of creating church members who expect to be waited on, they grow, and the lives of their members are changed. Those members whose lives are changed develop relationships with others who don t truly know God. God then uses them as a tool to change the lives of others through the power of His Spirit. The cycle then repeats itself. Does that make any sense to you? If not, it will eventually as we continue to teach these concepts. We can no longer afford to keep doing (or not doing) the same things and somehow expect different results. We can no longer continue to be the same people and expect God to do anything with us. Some of us have been resisting or ignoring God for years, even though we may show up in the pew on Sunday. I make an important request of you today. Please pray that the momentum generated at St. James will not die out and be wasted. A movement has begun here and God can use it to do powerful things! God s blessings to you, 2 Pastor Larry
3 Council Corner The Church Council would like to thank all of the congregational members who attended and participated in the oral presentation by Dr. Kent Hunter from Church Doctor Ministries. Kent presented more that 175 recommendations for St. James to consider in the main categories of Spiritual Health, Philosophy of Ministry, Structure, Outreach, Staff, Worship, Ministries, Finance, and Building and Grounds. If you did not attend Kent s presentation, I recommend that you watch the recorded presentation or read the written report that was authored by Kent and his staff. DVDs and copies of the report are available through the church office. I hope those of you who attended Kent s presentation left the meeting, as I did, with the feeling of optimism and excitement at the possibilities for the future of St. James. But, there is a lot of work, decision-making and preparation to be accomplished in order for St. James to reach our goals. Your Council has reviewed all of the recommendations, and decided which recommendations are to move to the action plan development stage. We are now in the process of identifying appropriate committees, individuals and ad hoc groups to write actions plans for these recommendations. The timeline for completion of these action plans is April 20 th (Easter). These action plans will serve as a master plan or road map for St. James over the next several years. Council will keep the congregation updated on the progress of the action plans. Finally, we will be conducting the Annual Congregational Meeting on Sunday, February 16 th following the second service. Please mark your calendars and plan on attending. Major agenda topics for this meeting include review of annual committee reports, election of new Council members and an update of the action plans development and implementation. With God s Help, Ray Pohland 3
4 An Opportunity for You We have scheduled an open, informational gathering for those who would like to see our church become more productive. This is for those who would like to see our church have a greater impact and reach more people for Christ. It is an opportunity to discuss how our church can grow spiritually. Monday, February 24 th at 7:00 PM Calling all Thrivent Members! We are attempting to add the Thrivent members of St. James to our database. When we apply for financial assistance for various events at our church, we are often asked how many Thrivent members attended or participated. Without knowing who you are, we have no way of filing the report correctly. If you are a member of Thrivent Financial please send us a quick , or phone the office to let us know. Thank you for your assistance. 4
