On Monday, there was a meeting to talk about Church Renewal. The two big questions that were brought up were: Is renewal needed, and if so, how do we implement a renewal plan. I believe everything needs to go through a renewal periodically. Churches need to renew regularly to ensure they continue effectively serving the community around them.
Renewal also allows churches to evaluate their impact on lives and if they are still doing what Jesus Christ has commanded. Over the next couple of weeks, I would ask each person in the Camillus First community to reflect on if our church needs to go through a renewal and discernment process. What areas of our church are there opportunities for improvement? Revival in a church is not done by a few select people but requires the participation of the whole congregation. Is Camillus First ready to move to its next adventure?
