Property Discernment
| Discernment Update - July 2019 |
Annual Meeting, March 4, 2018
Following small group congregational meetings and a discussion on findings of The Property Discernment Interest Group and upon review of their suggested options or opportunities, three motions were passed at the Annual Meeting for moving forward:
▪ That Pembina Parish Leadership Team continue to engage the congregation in options and alternatives to “right size” the St. Paul’s building and report on
recommendations / options(s) feasibility at the 2019 annual meeting.
▪ That the Property Discernment Interest Group be authorized to explore ‘Right Sizing’ option(s) in more detail to explore and determine outside interests,
financial feasibility and plan, and implementation strategy for recommended option(s), reporting to the Pembina Parish Leadership team by January, 2019.
▪ That Pembina Parish Leadership Team organize and facilitate (or coordinate) a review of our 'Mission Statement' and 'Vision' for the future.
As we move forward with our Property Discernment Process, and further explore and consider our opportunities and options, please consider prayerfully ‘What would God want us to do?’ in this time, and in this place, for today and for tomorrow. As we ponder our values, our purpose, our mission, our vision for the future, be respectful of one another’s ideas and opinions. Talk to one another. Listen to one another. Think about our church history – Where have we come from? Where are we now? Where do we want to be in the future?
