The Browning's
 
After the Presidential State of the Union, there are all kinds of pundits that weigh in on what the President has said. Newscasters and analysts all give their opinions, trying to make sense of all the minutia found in the words of the address.  While no newscasters will be wading through our State of the Church address from this past Sunday night, and no pundits will ever weigh in on that same church service, I truly believe that God was listening in and I pray that He was pleased.  (If you missed it, download it here).

We spoke honestly about our failures and our successes.  We addressed areas where we need to improve and directions we are preparing to take.  No strategy is more important than our call to define our 'circle of responsibility'.  We have been challenged with finding six people who we will take responsibility over.  Six, out of the more than .5 million people, who live in the Charleston Metro area.  Once these 6 people have been identified, we will love them, serve them, invest in them, and invite them into a relationship with God and a relationship with us as a church family.  It is a simple plan, but it is the plan that we feel will allow us to make the greatest impact on our community.

As we move into our new location, I dream about seeing new faces walk through these new doors.  New people who walk in the door with you - that have been truly affected by your ministry.  People that you have invested in by having them over for dinner, buying them the occasional lunch, or serving their needs over the course of the next few months.  We are going to need everyone to take on this responsibility amongst other responsibilities.

The next 3 months we will be accomplishing a great amount of work in the new building and we need you to volunteer.  We will need painters, wood workers, lunch providers, builders, electricians, and technicians.  We have a lot of work ahead of us.  It is going to require hours and hours of volunteered work.  If you can help, please contact Clay at clay@journeychurchsc.org and tell us about your skill and expertise in any of these areas.  God is going to do some great things over the next few months.  Please join us as we change the landscape of this community with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
