Dear Staff and Ministry Team Lay Leaders,

 

This is a reminder that on Saturday November 15th, from 10:30 to noon we will be holding our 2nd Ministry Team Council meeting (the full schedule for the year is below). The Ministry Team Council is a chance for all lay leaders (and aspiring leaders) to participate in leadership development and fun activities to connect with each other across the ministries of our congregation.  This meeting’s focus will be on our congregation’s 2^nd Strategic Goal: to develop collaborative partnerships with marginalized communities that transform the San Diego region to be more just, equitable and compassionate. Come and explore how your own ministry team’s work furthers this goal.

 

We are excited about our ministry team leaders working together this year in creative ways. Ministry Team Council Meetings are not only for the Ministry Team leaders, but also for anyone within a ministry team who wants to engage in a deeper discussion of how their work fits into the life of the congregation.  Therefore, please spread the news of these meetings to those you think would benefit from our work together.

 

In faith,

Kathleen and Jennifer
