The members of Community Church are yet at another crossroads. A good one, but a challenging one as well. We need and will soon begin the process of seeking new\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #222222;\">leadership for the church. What does this mean? Does it mean looking for a new minister? An interim minister? Or a lay leader? Or something completely different?<\/span><br style=\"color: #222222;\" \/><br style=\"color: #222222;\" \/><span style=\"color: #222222;\">But before we begin any search process, we need to ask ourselves a more basic question: What is it that we, the members, want for Community Church?<\/span><br style=\"color: #222222;\" \/><br style=\"color: #222222;\" \/><span style=\"color: #222222;\">We know our grand purpose and we know our powerful history. We also know that we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re small in numbers, are an older congregation, have a wonderful building, yet like every church have limited resources. So the question is: In 2014 and in the years ahead, what do we want to do to make sure that the church and our purpose continue to thrive? And how might we do this? Those are the questions we want to hear you on.<\/span><br style=\"color: #222222;\" \/><br style=\"color: #222222;\" \/><span style=\"color: #222222;\">So on Sunday, September 21 at 12:30pm, we strongly encourage you to join the conversation to begin to answer these important questions. Let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s proactively shape the church\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s direction and then search for the leader who can help put our ideas into action. We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re looking forward to a robust and fruitful conversation, and hope you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll join in and let your voice be heard!<\/span><br style=\"color: #222222;\" \/><br style=\"color: #222222;\" \/><span style=\"color: #222222;\"><strong>&#8220;Capitalist Democracy and its Prospects: A Lecture by Noam Chomsky&#8221;<\/strong> on Tuesday, September 30th, 6pm at the 1199 SEIU (150 Mt.
