This year’s Ministry Team Meeting was delayed a couple of weeks due to Covid. Along with all our other efforts to creatively curb our exposure, we’re pressing on with our church leaders to pray together and give our efforts towards a single-mindedness for our 2021 endeavors as a body.
Last year our focus was on the need for all ministry leaders to support the education and discipleship of our children. Even though this effort continues into the future, our theme for 2021 is “Do Good”.
The idea of good works and good deeds isn’t expressed in isolation, rather we will make it our goal to pursue good works specific with our neighbors for the purpose of reaching them with the love of Jesus. Then we will draw together a pattern of visible love with the truth of God’s Word as an invitation for others to come to repentance and find their identity in Christ.
What we discovered is that the task of evangelism is almost insurmountable for the individual, but when the whole church works cooperatively when each one fills in the gaps and weaknesses of the rest, the work is a joy. This is the goal for our ministry leaders in 2021. All-hands-on-deck for the work of spreading the good news of Jesus. We will begin and lead with our deeds and by God’s grace follow up with an invitation in 2022.
Although our turn out was about half of what we’ve had in the past, I’d like to thank everyone who gave of their time this Saturday and prayed together for the extending of God’s Kingdom and glory through our various ministry efforts.
