Are we in a better place today than we were a year ago?

In a recent poll 95% said we were in a better place April 2008 than we were in April 2007. I hope we all agree in April 2009.

The question in the poll sought the opinion of the people. As a church, have we progressed or have we digressed or are we about the same as a year ago in April 2007. If we are the same, we are not growing. If we have digressed, we need to examine why and correct it. If we have progressed, we need to identify why and continue to do it and even improve on it.

This is more than a pastoral change. This is more than a larger group of people. This is seeking to get at the heart of where we are as a church.

Are we in a better place in April 2008 compared to April 2007?

Are we in about the same place in April 2008 compared to April 2007?

Are we not in a better place in April 2008 compared to April 2007?

These are important questions as we seek to grow as a church.
