Adult Forum on The Church Life Cycle

September 24 following worship

led by Pastor Kathy

There is a time to be born and a time to die, according to Ecclesiastes. People, animals, stars and even organizations come to the end of the life cycle. The churches were which planted by the apostles are no longer alive. Death is not all bad news for people of the Resurrection. For people of the Resurrection, death is not something to be avoided at all costs. However, there are ways to re-vitalize a church, to launch a new generative cycle, before death becomes inevitable. Pastor Kathy will share a church life cycle model developed by George Bullard and together, we will consider Emmanuel’s life stage and the implications of that for our current ministry and mission.
