From Our Church President
Presidential Reflections
February 2012
Can you believe that we have passed the half-way mark of the church year? During this year, we have been such a busy church! Most of you are coordinating and attending church activities, participating on committees, updating the library, helping with Family Promise or COMEA dinners and/or volunteering your time with RE, helping with coffee hour, folding the newsletter or lending a hand wherever it is needed.
In addition, we are busy with some activities that focus on particular goals or changes in the church. Mid-year seems like a good time to highlight some of them.
Ministerial Search-- The search committee is devoting a lot of time and thought to the process of narrowing the list of candidates. The committee members feel good about our prospects for finding a “great fit” for our congregation.
Design Teams—Design teams are continuing to meet and develop ideas for the coming year(s). For example, the Enthusiastic Outreach team will coordinate with the Committee on Ministry to conduct a Coffee Hour forum on February 19 to discuss the application of the UU principles to our multi-dimensional lives.
Leadership Development-- We want everyone who has a desire to be part of the leadership of the church in any way (as board member, committee chair, committee member, etc.) to feel that they have the support they need to be a leader. A Leadership Development class started on January 26 and continues during February. We encourage you to participate if you have an interest.
Finance/Stewardship—Our Finance Committee and Stewardship team are busy planning for our financial health and well-being in the coming year. They will be working hard to arrive at a budget that will support all of our work and activities, including the expenses involved with calling a new minister. We urge you to do what you can to support the church during the Stewardship campaign and the service auction.
Worship Committee—As you know, the Worship Committee has been working on a new process for Joys and Concerns and asking for our feedback. Their goal is to make this long-standing, important part of our worship service work as well as possible for everyone who attends.
Policy Group-- We have some talented and committed members who are doing the important work of formalizing our policies and procedures so that we will be able to do the work of the church in the most efficient, effective way possible.
Every day, in many ways, this congregation joyously collaborates in fellowship and service to each other, our children and our community. With the spirit of love that shines in this church, our future is so bright! Wishing you a Happy Valentine’s Day! Rhonda
