We had a gooooood meeting last night and in short, came up with what we all agreed on and believe a good (and powerful) Vision statement:

THE VISION OF “ON SACRED GROUND- CASPER” IS….

OUR COMMUNITY TRANSFORMED FROM WASTEFUL CONSUMPTION TO SUSTAINABLE PRESERVATION OF GOD’S CREATION

Now we have to work on Mission statement: For the next meeting come prepared to share your passions and interests, and your strengths/gifts…. where and how do you fit in, what can you share, bring to our group? Decided that all ‘things’ (ideas and actions) must come from these meetings– people cannot take on things and say they are with OSG unless group agrees.Also.. next meeting: We get serious in planning the Fall OSG conference. TIme is of the essence now… Jason, Darci, Diane…. HELP! Jason: who do we ‘refer’ to … who is in charge? Contact persons? Do we ‘organize’?

Talk on changing mtg from Mondays due conflicts of several members. Think of alternate days… Next meeting is Monday… Jan. 28th 7PM

This is (obviously) ‘it’ in a nutshell… but am leaving town and group agreed that the vision statement was most important to get out…. so, people, get excited, fired up and ready to MOVE ON and OUT into the community to help TRANSFORM from wasteful consumption into sustainable preservation. It starts with US!See you in a couple weeks…and yes, Linda and I will get the letter out to all the churches in Casper inviting them to our next meeting and using our Vision Statement! Walking together on Sacred Ground!
