Looking for Something?
Our Purpose: Equipping church leaders and members to discover what they do best.
The Ministry Purpose Team will help you discover your gifts, skills and strengths and match them with church jobs or tasks that you have a passion for.
Latest Activity: Annual January Faith Leadership Retreat
|
Theme: "God's People Plan as They Carry Out His Mission"
The room was set-up and people started arriving...our team task is to support anything with leadership training in the title and for this one we support the Pastor's with food and beverages, and training materials. This time our own team champion (leader) discussed Conflict Resolution.
 
Breakfast health food selections was provided but this is more photogenic.
Now the blessing of showing up early for donuts, bagels, fresh fruit, juice and coffee is you get to volunteer for acting roles.
  
The Pastors facilitated the retreat and kept it moving...with ice breakers, focus groups and lots of opportunity for everyone to speak and write on the white board. Laughing was also part of the criteria.
The highlight after 3 hours of talking and listening was a lunch of homemade pulled pork sandwiches, chips, dill pickles and a great chocolate chip cookie...pizza style (would of had pictures but was kind of busy).
