Reminder – St. Matthew’s Church Council invites you…
Saturday, May 4, 2024, 1:00 – 3:00 p.m., St. Matthew’s Fellowship Hall
The St. Matthews Church Council invites you, as a caring member or friend of our faith community, to join an “Open Space” forum, during which we will explore the challenges and opportunities of living out our Mission Statement:
“ In response to God’s love, St. Matthew’s is a faith community welcoming all to grow in faith, to worship Christ and to reach out to everyone.”
Open Space Technology is a meeting framework that allows an unlimited number of participants to form their own discussions around a central theme that begins without an initial agenda. You are welcome to come prepared with an idea or ideas for consideration, and time will also be given for such ideas to arise spontaneously. Participants are then invited to welcome others to a discussion of their idea, or to join those of others.
“Whoever Comes Is The Right People”
– Open Space Technology Core Principal # 1
Schedule:
12:30 Treat yourself to a “Make Your Own Ice Cream Sundae 🍧
1:00 Get Started and Dig In – small group discussions based on the participants’ suggested topics
2:45 Wrap up. Group sharing
