Church

We had a congregational meeting today. Now for most of you, your church history (I think) is that there isn't a split everytime something doesn't go right. Well, FRC has a long history of getting along when everything flows smoothly. When something rocks the boat people get their feathers ruffled and they fly the coop. So today we had a meeting that we voted on a 1.3 million dollar renovation of the church and a 2nd pastor. It was defeated....by 8 votes....8 votes....that's really close...and enough for there to stir discension. Now, FRC has come a long way in the past 6 years in learning how to deal with differences of opinion and I feel like today will be a test of everything we've learned. Please pray for this to not cause devisiveness in the body, but rather as an opportunity to better communicate with each other and learn what the fears were that caused it to go down. FRC really needs this to show the community that we are stronger than we ever have been and that we can work through this also. Thanks!
