Two important events and dates for you to know regarding
Healthy Church Initiative (HCI)
Leadership Workshop
Saturday, October 10, 10:15 am - 3:00 pm
All members are invited to this important workshop to receive training
in missional leadership. Lunch is provided. Please RSVP for the
leadership conference by calling the church office at 806-655-2851 or
emailing Pastor Rick at [email protected].
Worship & Consultation Report
Sunday, October 11, 10:30 am
On this Sunday we will have one worship service at 10:30 am. Ken
Willard will preach the message that morning. Immediately following
worship, the Consultation team will present their written prescriptions
for our church. Everyone will receive a copy of the report.
After we have received the report, we will have 3 town hall
meetings—October 18 at 4:00 p.m., October 25 at 6:00 p.m. and
November 4 at 7:30 p.m—over the next month to process the
prescriptions. Then at a Church Conference scheduled for November
8th at 3:00 pm, we will vote to accept (or reject) those prescriptions.
F.A.Q.s about Healthy Church Initiative (HCI)
What is the purpose of HCI? The purpose of HCI is to help transform
churches into fruitful congregations so that they can reach new people for
Christ and help them become the church God wants them to be in their
community.
Why are we participating in HCI? The Administrative Board voted to be
a part of the HCI process to help us grow as a church. FUMC Canyon is a
vibrant church in our community, but this process is an excellent resource
for us to get an outsider perspective on how we can be even more
effective for Christ.
How will the consultation team come up with the “prescriptions” that
they think are best for us? The church has sent the consultation team a
vast array of data on our church - its history, demographics of the
community, our ministries, financials, staffing, attendance, membership,
etc. - that they will use as the basis of the study. Further, they will be (1)
interviewing individual leaders of the church, (2) leading a focus group of
members, (3)meeting with the Administrative Board, (4) meeting with the
pastor and his family, (5) leading an all-church leadership workshop and
(6) gathering data from mystery worshippers who have been coming to
our church throughout the summer to create final “prescriptions” for our
church as we move forward.
How will we decide if we will accept the prescriptions? We will vote on
the prescriptions at a Church Conference on November 8th at 3:00 pm. All
members present at that meeting can vote. We will vote to accept all of
them or none of them.
How can I help? We want everyone to be praying for our church and this
process - that God will bless it and the decisions that we make from it. We
have a prayer team that is specifically praying for the process and hope
you will join them and our church staff as we pray for God’s discernment.

First Annual FUMC Tailgate Party / Cooking
Competition
Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone
who planned, helped, and participated in the 2015
Tailgate Party. This event could not have been more of
a success. We had eleven amazing teams compete in
the tailgate cooking competition this year. If you
attended the event you enjoyed everything from steak
bites to ramen noodle crusted corn dogs.
CONGRATULATIONS to Life Search Sunday
school class for being the first group to win our tailgate
cooking challenge.
Everyone who attended also had the
opportunity to enjoy a great time of fellowship and fun.
Our planning team had 19th street set up with a dunk
tank, ping pong, giant checkers, and much more. But
most importantly our church raised over $1,200 to
support the great teachers and staff at the Canyon
Intermediate School. Your generous donations will
enable FUMC to bless and support Canyon

THANK YOU to everyone who helped make this event
