Pastor's reflections

Monthly faith reflections from Pastor Clark.

Listening and action

8/14/2019

 
​Building community and mobilizing St. Paul and our neighbors to act together based on what it hears is the listening team’s agenda.
Between August 25 and October 13, you can expect to be invited to a one-on-one visit. The goal of the person who will listen to you is to build a relationship with you. They will also consider what you care about, what you hope and fear for St. Paul, your family, and this community—you and everyone else the team listens to.
Then, the team will invite you and everyone else to a celebration: you’ll hear what the team heard, and we’ll organize ourselves into teams and start working together.
This may sound familiar. It’s what happened during and after the first listening campaign. The only difference is, the “Hope in Action” team is the core of this new listening team. It hopes the campaign will surface a new community problem to solve, now that the park bathroom project is nearing completion. So the team will listen both to St. Paul people (roughly 120) and to neighbors (another 60 or so). St. Paul is fishing for people again, now casting a wider net.
