As we consider what gathering as a church might look like in the coming months, you will hear a lot of varying thoughts an ideas. As you prayerfully make important decisions, we discuss these six things you'll want to consider:

• What people say they will do and what they actually will do is not always the same
• Be as clear and firm as you can when sharing decisions
• Updates are better than changes
