——————–FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK

I pray you have enjoyed your week.
I want to update you on a few items as we
gear up to re-launching our Ministry
Placement Process this Sabbath, August 29,
2009.

I ask that you continue to pray on the
seven (7) names you have been lead to
consider who you believe would serve the best
interests of our congregation by being part
of the Ministry Placement Team.

I promised last week that we would keep you
informed of some necessary details you need
to know as you prayerfully consider those
seven (7) names.

As such, the following will review
the composition of the MPT, the process of
the team, and the timelines the team will
function with. There is also a segment
clarifying the differences between Full and
Covenant Member.

—————-
MPT COMPOSITION
—————-

– Team must be diverse (using AGE: All Age
groups, all Genders, all Ethnicities)

- Team must be spirit-filled/led

- Team must be small and manageable

The team will consists of 11 individuals:

- 7 church members (including current leaders
and full members in good and regular
standing) (voting)

- 2 members of HR Ministry (selected by it)
(voting)

- 1 chairperson – Elder of Finance and
Administration Division (non-voter)

- 1 pastor (non-voter)

—————-
MPT PROCESS
—————-

One Sabbath in August church members will
nominate through secret ballot seven (7)
members to sit on MPT.

First Reading: Same Sabbath names will be
presented to church during or after Seed Time.

Second Reading: Next Sabbath will be presented
to church during or after Seed Time

MPT will meet to consider as many names for
all ministries and all positions.

MPT will communicate to individual church
members MPT’s selection and receive their
acceptance.

MPT will have a follow-up meeting to compare
notes and to re-arrange areas still outstanding.

MPT will then communicate to church a final
report (2 weekends) & accept a motion by church.

New directors/leaders/team members begin to
transition by year’s end to begin their new
assignments for the new year.

During 2-year term HR will continue to
support ministries through training,
recruiting, evaluating, etc.
