Conway United Methodist Church began a ReFocusing process in October 2007 to align its church with God's will and purpose for His church .  Three Leadership Summits were held to assist the church in "Assessing," "Discovery," and "Implementing." Here is the latest report:

Our Spiritual Journey

On Saturday, December 1, 2007, the last of our ReFocusing Summits was held.  The Summit #3 write up will be forthcoming after the team evaluates all the material and information provided by the participants and individual congregational submissions.

Each individual's input is in the process of thorough review and evaluation by the ReFocusing team.  We (the team) have a requirement to compile and document the entire three-month process.  The final responsibility of the ReFocusing team is to summarize results of our ReFocusing journey into a ten-to-fifteen page plan, and present this plan to the Conway United Methodist Church Council in January 2008.  The Church Council has the sole responsibility to review the document and determine the implemental process for the church.

We have had much discussion and activity centered on the ReFocusing process.  The wonderful Spirit-filled, church-wide participation has been absolutely magnificent!  God has injected energy and anticipation into this changing church.  Those that have participated have seen and felt God's awesome Spirit move through our Summits as all the participants opened themselves up to God's perfect will.  His plan has emerged.  His plan will be documented and provided to our Church Council.

This church still must be in prayer concerning our new church-wide refocusing.  Change is on the way, but, rest assured that our God is in control of this entire process.  He has been guiding all of us to this point in time for Conway United Methodist Church.

The ReFocusing team wishes to thank all the individuals that have joined us in the spiritual journey of discovery.  We trust that God has spoken to each of your hearts and will provide us all with His perfect peace and courage to meet the challenges of following His will for CUMC.

More Summit #3 information to come!

Pray for this church!  Pray for the Congregation!

Give God the Glory . . . . . . . . Always!
