STOP THE PRESSES! Oh My, We Have a Vision!

You have got to be kidding me with this one right Rector?  I mean, to say "Our Vision is Jesus!" Can I clue you in on a little secret, come close now I do not want you to misunderstand or say I miss-communicated this to you "BUT OUR VISION HAS ALWAYS BEEN JESUS!" What poem book did you get this from?   After two years at our Church, earning a huge unjustified and overpaid Salary, this is the best you can come up with, "Our Vision is Jesus!" I want my money back, as my dead Grandmother could have come up with that in less time and for far less money.   It is such a revelation, Not!  You see about 2000+ years ago the Son Of God (Jesus Christ, came into this world by way of the Virgin Mary) came down to Earth, and became man to save us and Die on the Cross for our Sins. Since then the ministry he started (with 12 other holy men) "Christianity" has had but one Vision "Be Like, and follow Christ Jesus in every thing we say, think and do. To seek the kingdom of Heaven and our eventual reward of being with the trinity (God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ), God the Holy Spirit) for eternity!" So two years of not having a Vision, and all of a sudden out of the Heavens Above, it hit you like a Lighting Bolt, "Our Vision is Jesus!". What was it a slow bolt from China?

People of All Saints, this is another attempt at Blowing Smoke, Diversions made to have you look away from the actual issues here, Quick Look over there is that Jesus? (I am sorry), can you find the Queen of Spades and win $10. Call it what you like it is just plain old Smoke and Mirrors to look like he (and I am sure the Senior Warden) is actually got our Vision down pat. Interesting fact, he would never tell any one he had a Vision for All Saints, or if he did, he was not ready to share it with us or something like that in the past.  We at All saints Expect, no wait, we demand that a clear Vision from our Rector be one that clearly, let me repeat my self in case you did not read it right, C L E A R L Y shows where this Church is going to be in the next 1, 3, 5, 10, 20 years in respect to:

• Christian Formation with some one (not the Rectors Wife) in tune to our true needs.
• Our Spiritual Journey that all must make and the opportunities being offered to all who seek that Journey.
• The Youth of Our Church (our future) and growing that Program
• How we will GROW (not shrink) our Parish Family, as you the Rector have accomplished on your own so far in the past two (2) years?
• What we are truly doing to supply the Current Parish Members and Future Members those things they seek in a Church Home.
• Our commitment to the Community of Frederick, and the Anglican Communion which we are all a part of.

These are True Visions, not the dribble the Rector has taken two (2) years to come up with. Jesus Christ is the Foundation on which this and all other Christian Churches are built. The items listed above are the True Visions of All Saints in getting to the next level. What Say You All Saints? "God's Shalom?"
