watershed: a community church

We're very interested in discovering more of what God is doing in and through watershed...and we want to hear from you. Watershed is people...so we're asking you to consider where God is leading you personally and how that might then contribute to who we are as watershed. One of our main goals is to help people follow Jesus and discover more of where he is leading them to join in God's work in the world. As you do that it contributes to who we are as a community of people following Jesus together.

I've developed a tool over the past few years that I think is helpful for leading people to consider this question. (Some of you may recognize the Pathways idea.) The Pathways document (PDF) outlines the idea of pathways and may help you begin to see the pattern of how God is working in your life. I believe it isn't a big mystery, but rather embedded in who you already are, in the relationships and interests you already have.

Would you please take some time before our gathering on 4/6 to consider how God is working in your life and how that might contribute to who we are as watershed? What are your dreams and ideas for our future together?

We're arranging for extra childcare on 4/6 to allow all of the adults at watershed to be together and hear from one another how God is at work. I hope you'll be able to join us and share where God is leading you.

Watershed is people. We're not an organization with it's own agenda, but a community of people seeking to faithfully follow Christ. At watershed, we value the contribution of every person connected to our church family. We seek to embody the belief that each person is a gift that brings to the whole unique perspectives and contributions that help the church to discern and be faithful to God's work in their midst. As each person pursues their God-given dreams and abilities, we become more of what God intends for us to be. We're better together.

Last Sunday we talked about L-team. As we move forward, it will be helpful to have a team of people within our community that

helps us discern the work of God among us and create a healthy environment for his work to flourish.

This group will include men and women from our church family, representing a diverse group of passions, gifting, and interests, and who demonstrate a growing faith in Christ.

For more info about L-team and the people who are part of it (including some fun pix), please see our Leadership page.
