Members of Prince of Peace (66 in particular) gathered together after worship on Sunday, June 23 for the regular Semi-Annual Meeting of the Congregation. A number of key decisions were made through the course of business…
I’ve mentioned in a few places that the nature of my role here at PoP is shifting rapidly and more in line each day with the call you extended to me at the start of 2017. It’s an exciting time to be here and working with this newly expanded leadership team is proving to be a real joy. Up until now, much of my energy has had to be dedicated to “day-to-day” ministry and programming and it’s great to be sharing that load now with such a great collection of colleagues. Here are a few highlights from the ministries I’ve been tending to recently…
The quieter summer days have quickly given way to a more frenzied pace from day to day, making me every more grateful for the additions to our ministry team and the volunteers that are back in action alongside us. This is an interesting time of ministry transition as we are bringing new staff on board and at the same time rolling out our fall programming. While I am still involved deeply with worship and our various programs from week to week, I’m also recognizing a shift to more strategic support of our growing team.
Much of our efforts at Prince of Peace over the last six months have involved moving our staffing configuration from concept to reality. The daily work of ministry will soon be shared with a number of others, freeing me to live more fully into the call that I was given here to Prince of Peace. I’m excited for these changes to finally take shape and anticipate a busy fall for all of our shared ministries.
Please join the congregation Sunday, Aug. 26th, at 11 a.m., following the 2nd service, to vote on the recommendation of the Call Committee to call Pastor Elizabeth Hoium as Associate Pastor for Faith Formation. Read about the call process and a personal note from the candidate here.
