Our first Vision Day was a day when many of us indicated, with great enthusiasm, the activities and changes we would like to see. Our creative group presentations were captured on video; those who were present will have the opportunity to ‘relive’ them as we watch the videos, while those who had been unable to attend will see how alive and spirit-filled the Saints were on that day!
The ideas generated in the group sessions and seen on the videos have been refined and classified as: 1. Community Outreach
Health Clinic
Website
Transport
Employment facilitation
2. Spiritual Development/Worship
Multi media technology
Liturgical innovations and variety
Highly interactive

3. Vocational

4. Youth

We will identify specific and realistic projects from each of the five groups and we will develop an Action Plan, bearing in mind the need always to ‘plan the work and work the plan’. Now time for us all to get involved. We have talked enough – now it’s time for action.
