In Class

Today's eMMAUS class meeting was full. That's a good thing, of course, but it was bad for me personally because my crutch was gone. See, the bulb in our projector went out last week (well, it exploded actually, but that's another story) so I wasn't able to use the blog as a basis for our class discussion.

I was forced to use . . . . notebook paper.

We had a good discussion despite our "old school" technology. Instead of focusing on our weekly lesson, we spent our time discussing our church and its hunt for a permanent minister. Its an interesting proposition. Do we want a minister that is just like us, or one who challenges us? If we want a challenging minister, in what way(s) do we need to be challenged?

Some in the class wanted a young minster. Some wanted one with children. Some wanted one who would look to grow the church in numbers and/or activities.

For those of you who are members at PPC, there are numerous ways for you to have input in this process. First, you can talk to a member of our Pastor Nominating Committee. Second, you could email the church office. Or you could join the "5 Words" discussion on the PPC facebook page.

For those of you who are blog readers, but not PPC members, keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we continue this important process in our community of faith.
