April "Blog" Circuit Meeting

Hello Everyone,
It was great to see so many of us at the conversation with the Bishop in Merced. Cindy, how are you feeling? I hope that you are on the mend, we lifted you in prayer last week when we all met.

Remember, no meeting at New Cuyama this next week!

I have a meeting with all of the circuit leaders and the Bishop next week in Sacramento, so we decided to cancel our April meeting.

I started this blog as a way for us to stay in touch or discuss topics without the confusion of a long email thread. Another way we can use it is to have a virtual meeting, which is what I would like to do for April.

On Saturday Bishop Brown described vital churches as those with; intentional mission, passionate worship, leadership growing in faith and ability, looking with hope to the future, vital small group ministry. He asked the clergy,

• How will we live into practices that revitalize the church?

My question to our circuit is,

• How can the Kern County Circuit support one another in this effort?
• What practices in our circuit are signs of vitality?

I hope we will all respond to the post and use it as a forum for discussion in place of our April circuit meeting.
