So what do you get when you add these words together?? hotels, banquets, service 3 times a day, people of every generation, 3 ring binder, financial reports, people speaking their opinion, pk day, teen talent, 60 yr. ordination pens, Fireflight concert = PCG General Convention 2009.
All though all of this stuff happens and is important (or some of it is), what is the most important thing we get from these gatherings??
VISION & LEADERSHIP!!
Without reservation, this is what i look for at Gen Conv. The leadership of PCG layed out a vision that will take hopefully catapult us into a season of growth. Here it is as it was spoken by our leadership:
We are PCG!!
This was the theme of the General Convention 2009 for the PCG. So what does it mean??
We are Global, Connected, Absolute & Relevant!!
If we are going to stop the decline of the PCG these things are a must. Bishop Scott delivered a powerful word and Vision to lead us forward while cherishing our heritage.
We are Here!!
The answer given to us of the question, where are the young leaders? Making an investment in the Next Generation of leaders is a must to see the survival of PCG.
We are Moving!!
Where? the General Council will begin processing the essentials of moving the General Office & Messenger College to a metropolitan city; Dallas, Oklahoma City or Tulsa.
I love it. Leaders Lead and i was glad to see our Leadership doing just that.
Give your thoughts to the Vision and Changes coming to PCG!!
I was not able to attend and am still bummed about it. Missing the chance to see all of you guys, fellowship, sharpen one another etc. However, our Dist Secretary sent out regular e-mails keeping the ministers of So CAl informed of all that was going on and it helped. I will say this, I am excited about some of what I heard and cannot wait to see the results from this convention in the years to come!
ReplyDeleteI would love to hear from the pastors who were at Convention. Todd, I wasn't there either. But I followed the day-2-day stuff on Twitter; and like you and Eddie, I'm confident that we are moving in the right direction. Our leaders are leading.
ReplyDeleteI was not able to attend general convention this year either. Recently a pastor said to me that our bishop is like a breath of fresh air to the PCG. What a statement and I agree, and it is so good to see where our leaders want to lead, may we follow them as they follow Christ!!
