The committee on nominations and leadership development is charged with recruiting, training, and encouraging the leaders of the local church. Your committee has done outstanding work in recruiting servant leaders to equip Trinity to carry out its mission. We are discerning ways to better train the leaders we have now and prepare future leaders for the work ahead. Later this spring, we will look to invite the congregation to take a spiritual gifts inventory which will help leaders better understand the ways they can fulfill their call to discipleship through service.
At our February meeting, we talked about ways we can encourage the servant leaders of our congregation. For almost a month, our team has prayed for leaders on each council, board, or committee of Trinity. Each weekday, we pray together for the same leader. We ask God to bless the life of that person. We thank God for their leadership and the ways they are growing as a disciple of Christ. Our team has grown spiritually in this practice; we believe it will also benefit the congregation and those who serve us. An email is sent usually each Wednesday to our team with the names and contact information of five leaders we will pray for the following week. I encourage you as members and friends of this great church to join us in this spiritual exercise. If you would like to be included in the weekly email for the prayers for our servant leaders, please let me know your interest and your email address; I will add you as soon as possible.
Please keep your committee on nominations and leadership development in your daily prayers: Beth Abruzzino, Julie Balduf, Cammy Chandler, Melissa Jackson, Joseph James, Gray Maklary, Katherine Schwartz, Dustin Smith, and Greg Stone.
Peace,
Joseph
