Vision Casting

But these things I plan won't happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, wait patiently, for it will surely take place. It will not be delayed. Habakkuk 2:3

Our vision are always evolving and growing. Its interesting to note that among the cores, almost all of us travelled to Chicago to attend the Willow Creek Small Groups Conference 2005. While there we learned a great deal about ways to deepen small group relationships as well as fostering an environment for transformational growth. Here are some of the sessions we took at the conference:

+ Helping Your Group Discover God in Their Stories (Shar)
+ Turning Questions into Transformational Discussions (Shar)
+ Using the Bible Effectively in Groups (Shar)
+ Resolving Conflicts in Group Life (Kat15812)
+ Shepherding People in Pain (Kat15812)
+ The Emotionally Healthy Leader: Setting Your Pace, Priorities, and Purpose (Kat15812)
+ Leading Seekers, Strays, and Believers in the Same Small Group (Allen)
+ Resolving Conflicts in Group Life (Allen)
+ Shepherding People in Pain (Allen)
+ Creating An Environment for Spiritual Growth (_mikeee)
+ Making Room For Community (_mikeee)
+ Deepening Small Group Relationships (_mikeee)
+ Coach's Toolbox: How to Nuture and Develop Group Leaders (Scott)
+ 8 Key Practices for Effective Small Group Leaders (Scott)
+ Building a Coaching Model that Works(Scott)

Having said all of that we hold to the vision casted as...

 

Connecting with God by serving our communities & to each other, thus growing stronger, like a knot being pulled tightly.
