Report to the Synod Assembly 2015 NEW CHURCH RISING Bishop Wayne N. Miller Metropolitan Chicago Synod ELCA

ORGANIZING RESOURCES AND RELATIONSHIPS The Hub and Spoke Vision Replaced By…

A NETWORK VISION Resources Relationships

VISIONS OF TOMORROW

Imagine a child born today… On his/her 21 st birthday this child goes to church… What will be the same? What will be different? Will your church be there for this child? WHAT DO YOU SEE?

Rediscovering WONDER The unexpected is a miracle Curiosity about what God is up to How do we lead with a sense of wonder? THROUGH THE EYES OF A CHILD

Intentional Impact Training Based on curiosity about what God is up to in another person Reproduces leaders rather than filling organizational slots Nearly 60 leaders have been trained already Moving to network model to continue the momentum forward LEADERSHIP FOR A NEW CHURCH

THROUGH THE EYES OF A CHILD Rediscovering FREEDOM The capacity to respond to God’s call The opposite of freedom is ATTACHMENT Living with Open Hands!

Stewardship is the path to living with open hands 1/3 of our congregations have begun this journey Expandable treasury of resources Opportunities for networking with others OPEN HANDS OPEN HEARTS

Rediscovering JOY! JOY is NOT the same as HAPPINESS Happiness is the avoidance of pain or sorrow JOY is what comes when our TEARS… Are mingled with GOD’S HOPE THROUGH THE EYES OF A CHILD

Investing in RESURRECTION Not all of our congregations will be here in 2036 Can we imagine legacy planning as a mission gift for today’s children? Synod staff is developing resources We need courage, honesty, compassion, and trust in the cross Renewal of Mission Vitality Fund for Mission Grants Turnaround Synod Initiative $370,000 given to congregational initiatives Development of Affiliated Mission Communities Six AMC’s approved One “second campus” EXPRESSIONS OF JOY

ONE VISION OF OUR MISSION FUTURE
