Where There Is Vision… Four days from today a transi on is going to take place here at Dunwoody United Methodist Church. It is a transi on that happens every year. It will happen quietly, but it will be significant. On September 1, the new lay leadership team for the church will assume their responsibili es for this next year. This lay leadership team was actually nominated and affirmed back in May. Some of the people who have served as chairpersons and commi ee members will be rota ng off and rota ng on will be some new people. Others will remain in the same capacity in which they have been serving. Whether they are rota ng off or remaining on their commi ees, I want to take this opportunity, on behalf of the en re church, to offer a word of thanks. The 2015‐2016 year has been a challenging, but incredibly frui ul year. In addi on to all the outstanding ministries that take place at every level of the church, this last year, the church adopted a new vision (To be a dynamic Chris an community of fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ), developed a 5 year strategic plan, priori zed that plan, and is now ready to begin implemen ng the various aspects of that strategic plan. These achievements and so many more could not have been accomplished without the sort of effec ve leadership the laity of the church has provided. At the same me, I also want to challenge all who will be serving during this next year to build on the past and stretch for the exci ng new future God has planned for us. In Proverbs 29:18, we’re told, “Where there is no vision, the people perish….” (KJV). More recent transla on, change the wording slightly, but the point is essen ally the same. On the other hand, where there is vision, and where people dig in to realize that vision, great things happen. I have said it many mes. You will probably hear me say it many more mes. “I believe the best days in the life of this church are not behind, but ahead of us.” Thank you to all who have and who will make that true. Blessings,
Dan

I'll walk with God through woodland green, Amid its pleasant shade, And listen to the songbirds sing, Such beauty there displayed, For every tree that stands within, Will grow so tall and strong, And to the leaf the trunk and bough, I know I shall belong. I'll walk with God beside the lake, That s ll and peaceful lies, For there the scene I'll look upon, The mirror of the skies, Shall s r my soul so deeply that I'll feel I am as one, With all the world the Lord has made, And where his light has shone.
