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.
Two significant events shaped my ministry over the number of weeks, one unexpected and one long-planned for. First, my gallbladder reached its expiration date and required a quick response. But then I got to accompany our high school youth to the National Youth Gathering in Houston. Through it all, God was good!
Please extend a warm PoP welcome to Pastor Ruth Sorenson-Prokosch, our new pastor of Visitation and Congregation Care, who will provide pastoral care to those in need and will be the ministry liaison to Senior Ministries.
Much of my work these days seems centered on the many staffing transitions we are facing. Finding colleagues that I will enjoy working alongside and appreciate as much as I have Lynn is the goal. Here are a few updates on all that’s been keeping me busy these days.
Congregation President Deb Cordes tells what has been happening at Prince of Peace. Call Committees will be interviewing for two positions–Faith Formation Pastor/Deacon and Visitation Pastor/Congregation Care Pastor/Deacon. Other points of interest are staffing for children’s ministry, youth ministry, the budget and the parking lot.
