A team of editors/leaders is in place to begin daily devotions to accompany each Sunday’s sermon (beginning this fall, and taking summer breaks). The search continues for a Communications Associate to assist with messaging, both inside our congregation and to the larger community. The Praise and Worship Task Force has already visited several churches in other parts of the state. A leader has been enlisted for the Spiritual Formation Leadership Team and the remaining team is being formed. The work moves forward in putting together a Missions Leadership Team. A detailed study has begun regarding our appropriate staff configuration, to align with our strategic vision. We have started work on fresh branding and an updated mission statement in light of Setting Sail. A leader has been enlisted to guide our guest services (with the help of our deacon body, we identified as an early priority the work of first impressions, engaging and involving new people). A study will begin soon to evaluate our church’s entire recreation ministry and its place in our strategic mission.
We will keep you updated as plans fall into place. Feel free to contact me or other leadership if you have questions. It’s my prayer that your summer is one filled with rest, recreation and blessings. Grace,
