Pastor Tart's weekly email

Weekly Email

This Sunday is Lay Leadership Sunday.  We will be recognizing and thanking our leaders at Peace for their commitment and service to our congregation.  Leadership is at the heart of our accomplishments and we need individuals who are willing to create visions and bring these visions to reality.  Someone once said,  that leadership is being the drain pipe that brings the rain of resources from the roof to the soil on the ground so that  seeds may sprout and give life to the world.  

We will also be inviting all who attend to attach themselves to one our ministries. We will have sign-up sheets for each ministry. Even if all you can do is pray for that ministry, please sign up. We have charters for each ministry explaining its scope and specific responsibilities.  I am hope that this Sunday will be a spring board for our congregation to become more involved in leading our ministries.  If you cannot attend this Sunday, we will have the signup sheets available through the rest of November.  Again, we are the body of Christ and working together to make a difference in our community  is fun and exciting.  We always give people the right to pass, but please give attaching yourself to a ministry consideration. You will be kept abreast of your ministry’s work and given opportunity to participate in your ministry’s workshops.

The Sunday is also the deadline for submitting suggestions for nomination as president of our council and for members at large. If you know of someone who would be good at one of these positions, please use the form in the back of the narthex.  The committee will contact them. You can also suggest your own name.  Only one person per position will be nominated with nominations open from the floor.  We will elect at the annual meeting.

The annual meeting is set for Dec 7 after the 11:00 service. Copies of the 2009 Spending Plan(budget) will be available at least the week before along with the annual reports.  We will have a special mailing with the agenda and announcement sent next week.

See you Sunday!
