Hello Friends –

Thank you for watching today’s webinar with Rob Peters as he showed us aย powerful free tool to help us as we reopen calledย ReEmerge. One of the key parts of his talk with us today was that we need to realize ten key realities about reopening our churches and to understand how they play out in our local context.ย Don’t forget that we are having a Town Hall Meeting tonight at 7 PM to talk about these reopening issues in greater detail.ย You can register for the town hall by clicking here.

Here are Resources from Today’s Webinar

The ten realities of reopening you need to consider Rob reminded us of today are:

  1. People will gather inย smaller worship settings and smaller small groupsย (50% full will be the new full and people will walk out of full rooms and worship centers).
  2. The church willย recover its essential ministryย and non-essential ministry will have fewer participants and get less money.
  3. The church has given people permission to stay home for worship services andย worship attendance will go downย another 15%, but online viewing will go up 50%.
  4. Pastoral care willย focus on psychological issuesย and the church will finally engage the mental health crisis.
  5. Discipleship will occur inย groups of threeย during the workday andย groups of 12ย or less in homes in the evenings.
  6. Missions will focus more on theย immediate communityย than traveling abroad.
  7. The church willย redefine hospitalityย in the age of social distancing. There will be no potlucks and no greeting time during the worship service.
  8. The church willย partner with the business and medical communityย in new and creative ways to solve community challenges.
  9. Moneyย will flow to mission(s) and ministryย and out of programs and facilities.
  10. Preachingย will focus on meaning and significanceย so that the existential questions people are asking can be answered.
We are here to walk with you as you plan to reopen and consider the above factors. Don’t forget you canย e-mail usย and we will help coach you as you pray, plan, meet with your leadership, and navigate through the reopening process in the coming days. You’re not alone! We love you.
ย 
In Christ,
Scott
