Last week, at our Vision Task Force meeting, we received the instructions to begin the work of studying our community, congregation, and leadership in order to determine why God put these particular people in this particular place, or, "What does this church do better than 10,000 other churches?" This is a huge task, when we consider not only the amount of work to be done, but the importance of discerning the meaning of (Shepherd of the Ridge's) life.
