As I work here, I realize that a team ministry concept is good. So, I have helped establish two teams already. Worship and Music team is an ongoing and well functioning group with good leadership. That leadership may be changing since our chair resigned. We are also entering some new territory with the Vigil and with Sunday morning liturgy as we consider going to one service for the entire Easter Season!
We have developed a mutual ministry team and a stewardship team. Now we will redevelop ministry board and, finally, an outreach team. Mutual ministry, stewardship, and ministry board will look at the gaps in our mission and get us focused on some key tasks. hey will also help us discover and deploy our God-given gifts and assets. I hope that we can begin to engage every person in some part of the mission in 2006. We really need to get some resources into outreach. I would like us to expand service opportunities too. A mission trip is in order.
Also, there is the potential for cooperative ministry among Lutherans in the area; something I am very excited about, and also anxious about. Am I called to lead something bigger in Ephrata area? I don't know yet. We pray.
