Transition Team Update

Transition Team Update

Thursday, October 2, 2025

On Tuesday October 21, Prince of Peace’s Transition Team will begin their work.  The role of the Transition Team is to handle things specific to the transitional time so that the Council and other existing groups can continue to focus on the important things on their plates.  In this case, the Transition Team will oversee the “Community Process” by working with the congregation to Define what we mean by “community” (paying special attention to how Jesus understands the word), thinking through how we can be Equipped to pursue community, and creating a process that encourage Prince of Peace to continue the pursuit of community.  They will also continue 1-1 conversations and hold small and large group meetings that will lead either to the writing of the Ministry Site Profile (MSP), the document the Saint Paul Area Synod will use to match Prince of Peace with pastoral candidates, or will hand those learnings of the the Call Committee to write the MSP.  You will be kept abreast of the team’s doings as things develop!  Team members are:Fred Ogimachi, Bob Reichman, Lea Thonton, Scott Tunseth, Eddie Ukatu, Cathy Yoon.
