Horizo on is… …
Thee first year off my two‐year internship p at Horizon n ends this m month. It hass been an amaazing time o of learning an nd doing. It has, also, be een my first deep experience with aa con ngregation otther than my home church so I want to share w with you threee defining quaalities I have noticed abo out Horizon. Horrizon is heealthy. Horrizon is a com mmunity thaat invests in ggood organiizational heaalth. Healthyy com mmunity is built into the systems here at every level I have eencountered d! My first experie ence of this aattribute occcurred at the e beginning of my time with the con ngregation, d during the ns about our r covenants w with each otther, being in right June 2012 Boarrd retreat. TThere, I heard discussion bout the imp portance of d direct and re espectful com mmunications. I was im mpressed. relaationship, ab I waas even more impressed d when I arrived on camp pus in Septeember and heard the sam me conversaations amo ong staff and d in other m meetings arou und the church. Right reelationship, right speech h, covenantaal relaationships. TThe commitm ment to a he ealthy organ nization is coonsistent and d it is real. Horrizon is carring. Horizon has a repputation as aa very welcooming and caaring congreegation. Youu live up to thatt reputation and then so ome. Likee organizatio onal health, caring comm munity is wo oven throughh every aspeect of the congregation aand at very sophisticated le evels. I have e never seen a better sysstem for wellcoming visittors in any o organization,, anywhere. And d, the multi‐layered systems for pasttoral care, frrom neighboorhoods to SSunday worsship and smaall groups, weaaves a safetyy net that caatches as maany people as possible inn a church off this size. Horrizon is da aring. This ccommunity iis not afraid to play outsside the linees. Whether it is makingg room in the sanctuary to o dance with h Big Bad Gina or creatin ng a unique support gro oup for peop ple with earlyy stage dem mentia, Horizzon is there.. How wever, as a sstudent of organizationaal change, I ssee the darinng spirit of H Horizon mostt clearly in the way this con ngregation em mbraces chaange. This quality has se erved Horizoon well sincee its inceptio on as a smalll start‐up justt 27 years aggo. I have no o doubt the same spirit w will carry Hoorizon from sstrength‐to‐‐strength during the min nisterial transitions aheaad. erfect. But, tthese three attributes im mbue this co ongregation with a very Likee any organizzation, Horizzon is not pe partticular kind o of delightfull resilience. I am so gratteful to be h ere for two years ratherr than just one, especially durin ng such excitting times. I will be out of ttown much o of this summ mer: General Assembly i n June, classses in July, p playcation in August. But, I cannot stay away the whole summer! I will b be on campuus occasionaally to work o on a few onggoing projjects, such aas Candle Ligghters and Sttrategic Plan nning. And, I will preach h on July 28.
