We Need Your Help

The Connections Ministry Team's goals are simple to describe. (1) Step back and think through the range of support structures needed to support and strengthen the Connections worship service. (2) Recruit, train and deploy men and women to serve in the various roles we identify. (3) Work as a team to imagine and plan worship services that take advantage of the skills among us and the range of resources available in the Christian tradition. (4) Develop various ways of helping Connections Worship participants connect to God, one another, and the broader church.



Other team members might phrase our goals a bit differently, but all of us are committed to dealing with the general areas I've outlined above.



We need your help!



First, please pray for us each day. We've willingly undertaken a large task, and we hope our work will be prove a blessing to many. Still, it's a big job, and we'll have days when we feel a little overwhelmed. We need strength and wisdom from God. Pray that God will guide us, and that we will be senstive to his leadership.



Second, give us the benefit of your suggestions. Perhaps you know of various worship resources, printed or on line. Maybe you have a great idea of how we might help people meet and connect with others. You may be in touch with a mission or ministry project we could undertake, one that would benefit those to whom we ministered and bind us together as well. You may have gifts and skills you want to offer. We want to hear from you. Feel free to post comments on this blog, to send any of the team members emails, write us a note, or simply talk with any of us face to face.



Finally, mark August 3 on your calendars. That's the day we will launch the second edition of Connections worship, put into play various support structures, and renew our commitment to serve God alongside each other.



I look forward to hearing from you throughout the summer.
