Square pegs into round holes?

I've previously written that there are some things, as individuals, we feel we should do and be.

If it's true for individuals, I think it's also true for churches.

We feel there are some things we should do.

We should have a youth ministry activity on a Friday night.
We should be involved in the scripture in local schools.
We should provide a playgroup for Mum's.
We should have a choir on a Sunday morning.
We should have a certain elders structure.
We should have a number (or kind) of staff members.

Now there is nothing wrong with any of the above things. In fact, most of them are not only really admirable goals and we definitely SHOULD want to do them to our God-honouring best.

But if these "shoulds" are square pegs, do we sometimes want to force them into the round holes which are within our churches and our communities?

Do we sometimes get it all backwards by deciding the kind of pegs we want and not identifying what kind of holes God is providing and is waiting/wanting to be filled???
