Four Questions
“Will you pray for and seek to serve the people with energy, intelligence, imagination and love?”
The Pain Points

(Rx) Use this Tool
To start the planning process for “what’s next” thinking. Give space for new ideas. Encourage all members to attend the “all church holy conversation” and get a few people to take notes. Sometimes ideas come quickly. Encourage a follow-up newsletter article with the session deciding based upon feedback – where to point the ship.
