Where's the fire?

[PaganHeart]

Last year, my church overwhelmingly (something like 75-2) passed a motion to become a Welcoming Congregation, meaning that we are officially recognized by our "head church" as having passed a program specifically designed to openly welcome individuals and families in all their lifestyles.

As the Committee Chair found she had to scale-back her commitments and stepped down, I took over as co-chair with another church member. When we called our first meeting to figure out where we wanted to go for the next year, only one other person showed up for the meeting, and that was the previous Chair, to give her input.

Needless to say, I am very disappointed. I thought there was fire in my congregation for this program. What advice can anyone give me as to how to stoke the original fire back up?

Thanx!
