Please take the post-it notes and pen on your chairand take a few moments to respond to this question:

Then the Israelites wept and said,

“If only we had meat to eat! We remember the fishwe used to eat free in Egypt, the cucumbers, themelons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic. Nowour gullets are shriveled. There’s nothing at all!Nothing but this manna to look to!” Numbers 11:4-6

When you are making a change, howdo you know that change is happening?

“Why have you brought God’s congregation into thiswilderness for us and our beasts to die there? Whydid you make us leave Egypt to bring us to thiswretched place, a place with no grain or figs or vinesor pomegranates? There’s not even water to drink!”

Numbers 20:4-5

Why are we changing?

How do you build a shared senseof urgency?

What are we changing to?

What’s our vision of wherewe hope to go?

What will it look like whenwe get there?

Our Mission: To inspire and nurture the human spirit –one person, one cup and
