An Important Message from Your Wild Goose Leadership

By December 16, 2015Goose News

I hope you’re as excited as we are about where Wild Goose Festival has been and where it’s going. We’re honored to walk this continuing journey beside you as President, Board Chair and Vice Chair. 2015 was our best year yet, and we’re already working hard to make 2016 even better.

One of the words that is often associated with the Wild Goose Festival is wonder, wonderful setting, wonderful people, wonderful music and art, wonderful worship and prayer, wonderful poetry and preaching, wonder abounding.  When a few thousand people come together to share a vision of the wonder of God, amazing things happen. It’s one of those things about wonder. You can’t capture it in a word or a formula. When you get to that place where the wonder of God has overwhelmed you, it changes everything. You can say the same creed that you said before, but now it’s not a creed that grasps God in the fist of the words, but it’s a creed that points up to a wonder that’s beyond anybody’s grasp.

In looking back over 2015, did you experience a breath of this wonder at the festival? Was it a word, thought, or touch, an encounter, a song, or a dance, a tree, a breeze, or maybe just a smile?

We think wonder is so important that we’re all deeply investing in it through the Wild Goose Festival. One of our top goals for 2016 is to help the Goose become more financially sustainable, and that’s why we’re asking you as 2015 comes to an end to consider becoming a financial supporter of the festival. We’d like to ask you to join us in making a gift to Wild Goose a part of your holiday season.

Here’s what we’d like to ask:

1. Please go to wildgoosefestival.org/donate/. (If you prefer to mail a check, the address is P.O. Box 24324, Overland Park, KS 66283.)

2. Choose an amount  … preferably a monthly amount to help us with sustainability, but a one-time gift is great too (or you can do both)! It should be an amount that you feel really good about. (Someone once said, “Raise the number until it hurts, and then go a little bit farther until it feels good.”)

3. And be sure to register for next year’s Wild Goose Festival too – and invite a bunch of friends to come along!

In the coming weeks, you’ll be hearing more about the beautiful, wonderful time that’s being planned for July 7-10, 2016!

Thanks for your involvement. This is just the beginning!

Jeff Clark, President/Producer

Joy Carroll Wallis, Chair of the Board

Brian McLaren, Vice Chair of the Board
