Slipping

There are times when what was once considered stable, begins to feel like it is slipping away.

The faith community that I am part of has recently experienced a change in leadership.

In the past weeks, I have noted a decline in attendance and a decline in funds collected. While this is sad, we need to acknowledge that change is inevitable. People will come and go.  This could be a mere coincidence and not a sign of things to come.

However, should this trend continue in a downward slide, the result might be a bigger and more devastating change - the closure of a well-love and historical worship site. Considering the age of the building, the state of disrepair from neglectful leadership in the past and the costs to make these much needed repairs, could it be that this change in leadership was deliberate, with the intent of seeing our doors close forever?
