Preparing for the General Church Meeting
The fourth General Church Meeting of From the Heart Church Ministries Worldwide™ will take place in July 2022 at the Parent Church. Soon my Office will be announcing the start of the registration and we are looking forward to having another productive, insightful meeting of the General Church. I have given direction for the 2022 General Church Meeting to emphasize the pew, church members. I want every From the Heart member to be energized during this meeting, with a focus on the congregant’s responsibility to grow the church.
The Parent Church grew to its size and scale due to the congregation. Although it has always had good leadership, it was the implementation of the “how to” teachings in the life of the membership that led to the Parent Church’s phenomenal growth and reach. The core Parent Church members have had a desire to live what is being taught, which has caused their lives to be a witness to their family, on their job and in their community. These core members understand their role in the church, to be living epistles read of all men. As a result, God has prospered the church and many, many members.
I want this for every From the Heart member. The 2022 General Church meeting will address this need and will be a time for us to come together from the north, south, east and west. God has made us one Church with a common vision. Preparations are already underway!
In light of COVID-19, Bishop and Mrs. Cherry have no planned visit to a From the Heart church at this time.
Stay tuned for their next visit to a local From the Heart church.
The Parent Church leadership has been meeting, start preparing now. Don’t wait until the last minute to be ready, start getting ready now. Start putting the money aside, start researching and determining travel options, look to reserve time off from work and secure whatever assistance you may need. There will be business sessions, training, personal enrichment sessions and recreational activity options, as well as Worship Services.
The General Church Meeting is an opportunity for us to be strengthened, encouraged, receive instructions in righteousness that are designed to mobilize us, to focus our attention on the work that we must do and to acquire or sharpen the tools that we need to establish the Will of God. There is tremendous good that comes from our fellowship, from us coming together and from us rekindling our relationships within the General Church. I want next year’s Meeting to be a catalyst for growth, purpose, progress, change and improvement in us all. I hope to see you there!
