I have been pre-occupied with the real possibility that our little congregation will close down.
We had hopes and dreams and spent 15 years experimenting with worship styles and family oriented ministry and trying to be a real emerging church.
If numerical growth and a permanent congregation was the aim then we have failed.
If enabling life-changing encounters with God to be part of the journey of a group of life travellers was the aim, then it's been good, and at times great.
Maybe emerging churches are not permanent things. They move around like the wind that you never know where it will blow next.
If you understand that, then the future is exciting.
