An exciting new chapter begins this week at First Lutheran as we launch our Vitality Initiative—a journey more than two years in the making.
Tonight at 6:00 PM, members of the Congregational Council, staff and leaders of committees and ministry teams will gather for an introduction to the accompaniment model and our five vocational words: advocating, partnering, welcoming, discipling and embracing.
Together, these offer a way to think more intentionally about our call as disciples at First Lutheran—listening deeply, walking alongside others andpaying attention to where God is already at work. Leaders will spend time exploring how accompaniment and the five vocational words can be woven into the ministries and work they already do.
This gathering marks the beginning of a broader Vitality Initiative journey for our congregation in the months ahead. We’re excited to see where God leads us.
