Vision Passion Action is not a program, but a movement, a development, an invitation in the life of the Rocky Mountain Synod for every person, every ministry, and every congregation. Its impact is not a package to be received or a product to be pushed, but it is to help create bolder leaders, courageous congregations and a true reformation spirit that allows us to adapt well to a changing world and changing needs.
Thanks to all of you who have participated in the Call to Conversations, Vision, Passion, Action gatherings, working groups, Synod Assembly gatherings, the traveling Synod Cross, prayer support, and providing us with resources, ideas, and encouragement. As we continue to work together in new ways, may God bless our efforts in this ministry together!
Catalytic Labs
The work of our Vision, Passion, Action initiative continues. Vision, Passion, Action with new “Catalytic Labs”
At first this sound like baking soda volcanoes in science class. But a catalyst is "a person or thing that precipitates an event or change." The hope for these labs as part of the synod's Vision, Passion, Action effort is that individuals and congregations from across the Synod will work together on five projects that will further the mission of Christ:
congregational visioning
teaching Lutheran identity
creation care
healing and health
lay preaching
Those working together in this next year will meet this fall for worship and fellowship as well as the opportunity to create a plan of action as we walk together. The Implementation team will also share expectations as to the direction of Vision, Passion, Action. We have many faith filled and talented individuals and congregations in this Synod. We are excited to see what God has in store for these labs of mission! |
