Where are we in the process –
-
We have moved through our Advent and Christmas season of prayer as God’s daffodil dreams germinated and gestated.
-
We are entering the season of Epiphany – the revealing of God’s dream – we are now prayerfully listening to God, one another, and ourselves to discern to what it is that God is calling us?
Prayerful Listening Discernment Process – Feel; think; ask; worship; pray; Find Peace; ACT

What are you hearing? What are you sensing that God is wanting from/for us?
-
How are our conversations with the congregation? What are we hearing from them?
- BHAG – Big Hairy Audacious Goal! – If we can do it without God, then it’s not God’s dream. God asks big things of us – Ephesians 3:
20 Now to him who by the power at work within us is able to accomplish abundantly far more than all we can ask or imagine…
- So lets ask again… What might God be asking of us that is scary big?
