Church Update – 02/03/18

David Medland   -  

If you are planning to come to sports day tomorrow, we are going to have so much fun. We worship together, we serve together, let’s spend tomorrow playing together.

I thought it would be helpful to give an update on the Senior Leadership Team.

We had our first meeting for the year on Monday 19th February. As a team, we are very excited about what this year could look like as we the church, partner with each other, with God and with our community.

Here are a few snippets of what we are looking at …

The Triple P parenting course led by Andrea and her team will commence on March 14th. We want to be able to enrich family life and work alongside parents to resource and empower them as they parent their precious children. We have brochures available from the Yes desk.

We are investigating holding a 12 month Relationship course so that couples can implement a plan to enrich their relationship. Still in the early stages of how this would look and when we would launch it. Watch this space. Another great way of making a difference in our community.

It is important that we update you with our current financial situation as well as present the financial report for the 2016/2017 financial year. We plan to have this sent out with the e-news NEXT week and a presentation with Q & A on SUnday 25th March immediately following the Sunday service.

Hannah is stepping down from Stepping Stones and we are currently looking for the right person to coordinate and oversight this vital and growing ministry.

We are exploring ways in which we can implement formiramar to support our community. How can the community know that we as a church are for them – to support and encourage what is happening out there?

You will be aware that we do not have an employed youth worker at present. We are very grateful for the youth leadership team who are oversighting the youth work whilst we try to find a replacement.

The Senior Leadership Team members at the moment are myself, John, Hannah & Betsy. We are prayerfully considering who we would like to ask to join us on the Senior Leadership Team. This person would be a soldier and come onto the team for a fixed term – usually one year.

I hope that helps and gives some focus when you are praying for us.

Our next SLT meeting is planned for Monday 26 March 2018.

Remember tomorrow we win the Divisional Sports Day trophy. Come along and either compete or cheer. A great day out.
10-2pm El Rancho Sports Field

This Sunday we continue our series Imagine Heaven.

See you on Sunday.
