I'm up to my elbows in the history of my local church. We're celebrating our 100th anniversary this year, and I love the story of how it formed. So many ways that God has used this church on the corner to impact the community that formed around it.
I'm trying to track down the turning point though. For a while it was this vital place--growing, instituting new outreaches, planting churches, having training programs and conferences...and then that stopped, because it couldn't have possibly kept the same growth and still be the size it is now.. so I'm wondering what happened..
I mean, it's growing again, we're coming back as it were, but what happened in the mean time?
And how much of what they did back then, could we do now? And what was it that was needed? organization? leadership? Is it just a different time? Different generation?
Fascinating stuff. To me, anyway. For those of you that it isn't.. you needn't read.
