Coming to breakfast?
Breakfast Meeting: June 03, 7:30am – Please come!
A Redlands CRC church family breakfast is planned for June 03 at 7:30pm – and we’re praying the hall will be packed!
The purpose of this meeting is to discuss various options about future expansion. Our development application for Boundary Rd has been lodged with Redland Shire Council, and their initial response has asked us to demonstrate how the planned facility will meet the current zoning and planning criteria. They have further asked us to indicate how various regulations (eg. run off water, environmental issues, car parking) will be met. These are typical questions to be asked of any sizable development in this context. More detail will be given at the meeting.
In particular, Church Council seeks to approach this meeting with the following goals
· Listen to the congregation. Every voice is worth hearing: we are the body of Christ together. We need to move ahead into the future with a warm consultative approach
· Review and clarify our vision: what are the truly important foundational issues that will guide us as we resolve the questions before us? What impact does our vision have on:
o The Boundary Rd property and the options it presents?
o Our current property and the options we currently have?
o Any other possibilities that may be on the horizon
· Church Council encourages the congregation to a month of focussed prayer during June, specifically
o That the Lord would give us a sensitivity to the needs of our community and how we as his people might be used to address those needs
o That he would impress His will on our hearts by His Holy Spirit as to what He would have us do with regard to our future planning
o That He would give us a sense of urgency to this task, a spirit of unity in our calling, and a shared clarity as to how we move ahead together
Please let Ingeborg know your coming to the breakfast: we wouldn't want you to miss out on your bacon and eggs!
