Spring is coming - really

Happy Easter everyone!

Easter - a time to celebrate resurrection and rebirth. A time when those brave crocuses poke their heads out of the bare ground between the melting snow drifts.

Melting snowdrifts. That happens in the spring, or so I've heard.

Notwithstanding what you see when you look out your windows, spring is arriving and it is a time of rebirth. A time to reflect on what's gone before, and plan for what's coming. Having grown up on a farm, I always see this time as the start of a new year. That day at the beginning of January seems very arbitrary, and is just a number on a calendar. This is the true new year.

Waxing somewhat philosophical, aren't I? There's a reason for that. Our task force has been given the job of investigating how TMUC can renew itself through its facilities. What physical structure do we need to enable us to accomplish the renewal that the congregation believes we need?

Our next meeting is tomorrow - Monday, March 24. We'll be finalizing the survey that we are going to send to various TMUC church groups. Once we get the answers back we can evaluate our facilities options. Through this process, I'm hopeful that one option will bubble to the surface as the best one.

I'm looking forward to renewal. Spring is coming. Really, it is. Have faith. That's what we're all about, isn't it?

Til next time, see you in church!
