The Vision Team will reconvene on March 29 to discuss the book, Missional Renaissance, a recent publication by church leadership specialist Reggie McNeal.  McNeal was the featured speaker at the most recent annual meeting of the Baptist General Association of Virginia.  His book has generated considerable interest and discussion among a good number of our church family.  

The Personnel Team is currently receiving and reviewing resumes for our vacant ministerial staff position.  Advertisement of the position has attracted much interest and a large number of promising candidates.  Pray for the team as it continues its work.  The team will eventually select some candidates for further contact and for interviews.

The Facilities Development Team continues to review plans and to consider various options for updating, improving and expanding our facilities.  They will report their findings and recommendations to the church at the appropriate time.

The Mission Strategy Team is looking to strengthen missions partnerships, both locally and regionally.  They appreciate your input and your prayer support as they continue to match our gifts and resources with the needs they discover.  They want to discern God’s leadership.

The deacons are hard at work on Winter Warm-up group activities and on planning for the churchwide pancake supper on February 27.  Support them as they seek to deepen our ties with one another.

The ministerial staff will invite others to join us on mission February 21-23.  Pray that we will identify where our time and talents can best be put to use.

These are not the only groups within the church who are working to fulfill God’s calling, but they are a strong representation of our people seeking to engage in Kingdom ministry.  Pray for these, encourage them, and find your place serving alongside them!
