Hello members of RLC! I thought I was going to keep things status-quo when elected to the Inreach Chairman position a year ago. Since then, we had a merger, established a 10 year ministry plan, and called an associate pastor. We`ve got a lot of things going on! I want to share with you an Inreach update that affects the entire congregation and has dramatic potential to help RLC remain a healthy congregation. We`ve seen a need to improve communication both from members directly, and from the results of the Crossroads ministry planning process. We`ve also seen a need to improve adult and youth discipleship. A key aspect to both of these areas is member involvement. First Corinthians 12:7 says, "Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good." This passage (and whole chapter) talks about how we have so many gifts - things that we like to do - and by the Spirit of our God, we can use these gifts for the good of our fellow Christians and our communities. I highly suggest reading the whole chapter, but essentially: We want to help members get instantly and permanently connected to the body of Christ at RLC.
To help RLC focus on these inreach goals, we have developed a Volunteer Coordinator position, subject to council and voter approval. This position would work in tandem with our existing Ministry Coordinator position, and ideally, would be the same person working full time at RLC. Our existing Ministry Coordinator will be transitioning to a different area of service this fall, so we are looking to fill these positions by late summer. May the Spirit of our God work powerfully in your life. Hidden in Christ, -Philip inreach@rlcverona.com ...more | ||
