The night sky was alive with light. The air tasted purer, and worship seemed deeper. Eight of us, men and women from the east, heartlands, and west, gathered to discern vision and direction for the Reformed Church in America. The General Synod Council asked me to gather with a small group and complete this task, focusing our vision as we look to a new century. That's why we went to Colorado.
Some events make a difference.
God's Spirit seems present, prayer feels resonant, and fellowship is bonding. The days at Snowmass, Colorado, were like that. And the statement of vision that we wrote flowed readily and with clarity. That's the foundation. Consider your congregation in this perspective.
