For the past few weeks you have heard me preach about aspects of the Vision Statement, and I have written about it in the Pastor’s Corner. We now begin the process of putting all the pieces into a coherent whole. This is also when you decide if this going to the vision statement, or our vision statement, or put differently, you now get to decide if this vision statement below is something that you want to make your own. There is a significant difference between “the” and “our”. When we use “the” we can distance ourselves from it, disown it when convenient. When we use “our” we are claiming a joint responsibility for it, and we are committing ourselves to live by it, to do what it takes to make vision a reality. We look forward to engaging with you over the next few weeks regarding this vision statement, and we hope it will not just be a vision statement or the vision statement but OUR vision statement.
