I have purchased stock in Post-its.

After an evening of celebrating the past of Quarry, we have now moved to looking to the future of our community. Monday was a great evening of sharing our hopes for our group - who we will become, what we will do, how we hope to experience God?

After praying & generating ideas, we began to discuss with which of these ideas we were all in agreement and committed to working together to make happen.

Which ones are you uncertain about? Let us know - let's continue to chat before we next gather together to come to consensus and begin to plan ...

There is still more discussion to be had! I will be emailing a summary of our post-it notes, which will also include some additional ideas submitted by some folks who missed Monday evening. Please read & pray through these ideas.

For any of these ideas to happen we all, individually and as a group, need to be commited to working at them. Decide which ones you are committed to. Think about which ideas excite you, which ones seem realistic, which ones are a challenge you are up for, which ones don't ring true for you, which ones you will help to make happen.

A reminder of our conversations this week:

In a year, what do we want to say about Quarry?
When our beloved sticky notes appear next year, what do we want to be able to write on them?

Here are the ideas that we currently agree upon:

Here are the ideas that we don't all currently agree upon:


Some personal reflections to keep in mind as you mull over our conversations:

Personally, what would cause you to stop being part of Quarry?


Personally, what would encourage you to continue being part of Quarry?


I'll email some more reflection questions early next week, as well as some directed questions to begin preparing for next Monday.

Enjoy your tofurkey ... see you next week!
