Mid-Atlantic District News - Spring 2012

“Blessings!” from your Leadership Team.

Becoming aware of new trends in leadership and factors affecting church growth, the Team met in New Windsor for a morning retreat led by Stan Dueck, Leadership/Life Coach and Director for Transforming Practices.

As we moved on to discern best paths for accomplishing our District mission, LT Chair, Chris Stockslager, offered inspiration about becoming mature and complete in Christ Jesus (Colossians 1:28).

Ministry Team Moment:

This month we want to highlight the services that the Spirituality and Congregational Life Ministry Team offers to our district. The core purpose of this Ministry Team is to bring the people of the district together both spiritually and socially. This MT coordinates the Junior and Senior High ministries. The MT is currently taking on a new project that will be beneficial to the congregations in the near future: creating a District Network for supplies and resources. As one congregation finishes with a  resource (studies, choir robes, music, etc.) they can offer the resource, through the network, to a congregation that may need these items. What a better way to be a good steward!

Keep on the lookout for opportunities to be involved; it will be an enriching experience.
