Board and Committee Team Building Day
Saturday, January 21st - 10am to 2pm
Attention all those who will be serving on boards and/or committees!
Your presence is requested on Saturday, January 21st in the Fellowship Hall for a team building day to focus on our ministry together as a team. We will look at ways to work cooperatively, with an emphasis on communication, consensus and what unique gifts and emphasis each working board/committee is engaged with.
Since we plan on providing lunch, please RSVP with the Church Office no later than Tuesday, January 17th.
Though this team building is designed for board/committee members, anyone from the congregation who is interested in being a part of the day, is welcome to join us. There will always be opportunities for those not on a board/committee to come along side as ministry partners, volunteers, organizers, co-workers, etc. All are welcomed!

Individual representatives of churches are still welcome to join and we will be putting you in a group to help you best process the weekend.
Different tracks that will be offered

Focused on reflections for clergy starting with lunch on Thursday with unpacking theology and praxis of innovation, then joining your laity team for Friday dinner.
