In the background are the ideas we posted on yellow post-its, then sorted. Several have wondered since then what we can do together now or in the near future, regardless of any talk of mergers.

Hopes.

I hope this blog will prove useful to us in keeping updated and in sharing ideas, concerns and clearing up an misconceptions and gossip. I hope it will be a place where we can share ideas and explore possibilities of providing excellent ministry in the Moncton area. I hope this will be a space where we can imagine and vision and assist one another to become the best we can be together - whatever together may mean for each of us.

I will begin by inviting the members of Humphrey Memorial's New Directions Committee and the clergy from our joint meeting so they can invite their Visioning Committee members or equivalent, as well as Pamela Harrison. I have opted not to add this blog to a search engine.

I am new to blogging so suggestins would be welcome.

Peace and Joy,
Gayle
