Tonight we had the opening worship service of our annual staff retreat/meeting. The focus was Transformation: The Process of Increasing and Decreasing in Christ. We entered Christ's presence seeking release from our fear and access to our feelings so that we might decrease in ourselves and increase in Christ. A few random thoughts that struck me:
What does leadership look like that is a process of letting go, instead of a process of exercising control?
How do we as a denomination work toward less is more, so that our structures and histories don't weigh us down for the missional work that we are called to support, enhance, and do?
If we let our light shine, we will necessarily be transformed, like a candle that changes as it gives light. So let our light burn brightly that we might be transformed. (Thanks for that image, Jay!)
