Last week we started a three-part sermon on turning around. We called it a U-Turn. Churches make U-Turns, or they should, whenever they lose their direction. Today, we make it personal. We-Turn. How does the individual congregation make that turn. Large or small, congregations always run the risk of making things about themselves and not about god's mission. The difference is that the congregation most likely does not realize this until they are challenged with their dwindling size, commitment from parishioners, or lack of funds for maintaining and preserving the building and their fellowship. Larger congregations can't even imagine that one day they might be faced with the same challenge. It should take a dwindling congregation to discover the right road and challenge to make sure they area part of God's mission. We-turn....how do we do it?
