The Meeting

So there was an interesting meeting at church as night... but overall I thought it was really good.

The meeting was to allow the people in the congregation who wanted to ask questions about Pastor Paul and his leaving.... cause the letter left a bit to be desired.

There were a few angry people there and there were a lot of people who weren't angry but just wanted to know where the church was going and what actually happened.

Some good questions were asked and some good answers were given... and in the mean time not one really got hurt and ultimately no skeletons were pulled out of the closet.... it was really... impressive.

Ken and the board did a good job and for the most part the congregation (the people there) did a good job too (asking good questions and keeping their cool).

Now I know coming out of that meeting that there are people who might leave... but I think that is ok. Like I said in other blogs God is pruning... and it might hurt a bit... in fact it will hurt a bit.

In the end I think most people were satisfied... not completely excited of healed but feeling a bit better then they were coming into the meeting. There was a reality that both sides probably made some errors (there were those people who thought certain sides made almost no error but that was their assumption).



****** Dang dude... church life can be a real.... stinker.... sometimes. Someone said last night that they are glad they weren't on the board to have to make the decision to tell Paul how they were actually feeling... and I am too.

I am just glad we are getting over the hill (even if it is the 1st of many)
