FY 2008
Other Nurturing
Ministry Initiatives:
4
Continued work with Student Ministry Transition Team

4
Small Group Ministries
- continuing the growth that we have seen this past year (Heartline
groups; young adults group; groups that have come back together after
being dormant)
- explore a name change: “Life Groups”; may assist those who are hesitant
to become a part of a “Bible study group”
- draw together additional leaders to steer this vital ministry
- develop new training structures (modeling and mentoring for new leaders)
4
Ministry to Inactives
- has been working behind the scenes to equip
- a continuing need to “train everyone; enlist those God has called to
serve in this way”
- focus is not on numbers, per se, but on people and
continuing the relationships; trusting God to take care of the results

Town Meeting Feedback Form Compilation
77 people
attended the Town Meetings. 60 Feedback Forms were turned in representing
63 people – 59 marked “I support”, one unmarked with “I need to look at
the Plan”.
Questions from
the Floor:
Is the planned
Alpha budget sufficient for the expenses as we have come to know them from
this year’s experience? Answer: Will check and respond back.
What is in the
increase in Personnel / Overhead? Answer: There are three major
components in the increase; Gathering Minister starting in Spring 08,
Suppport Staff increase from ¾ year to full year, and increase in
Healthcare benefits cost.
Can
ceiling-hung choir microphones be installed in the Sanctuary? Answer:
Those are included in the new sound system for which we will be raising
funds this summer.
How are the
demographics in our church community changing? Answer: Will get an
update and respond back. Previous information has shown a drop in average
age and an increase in multiethnic neighbors.
Feedback Form
Comments:
|
Thank you
for all your dedicated service to the Lord! |
|
Emphasis of
prayer and discernment of God’s will remains key.
I remain
thankful for the ministers and ministry leaders God blesses us with.
I
appreciate the efforts of the BoSL and the church staff. Your efforts
are evident in the material provided us.
Evident
throughout this plan is leadership and activity of the Holy Spirit
amongst and through us.
Where are
we going with Small Group Ministry? |
|
Alpha: How
much $ will Hospitality Ministry absorb of food costs?
Alpha spent
$1,000 over budget by January due to cost of food, primarily.
Obviously,
$200 increase not enough! |
|
Are there
any plans to provide “hearing aids” for those that may have impaired
hearing?
Why don’t
we continue to print large print bulletins for those with reduced
eyesight? |
|
Pray, pray
& pray! |
|
For the
areas that are being asked to make room for other things, it may be
good to mention the expected impact of the trade off. Does anything
not get done, was it just a realization that too much budget was there
in FY07? Etc. |
|
Exciting
new plans!
I am
interested in the neighborhood cells – as a Spring Oak Cluster Chair
for Burke Centre and the contacts I’m continually making as well as
relationships.
We have 3
groups of college students who could use an exciting ministry & social
contacts.
Also, we
have a variety of internationals in our cluster. |
|
We believe
the Family Life Center should be the highest priority. |
|
Will take a
lot of prayers! |
|
When does
the church plan to make a decision on the four initiatives? |
|
Please
continue and increase the use of quality children’s programs
and studies.
Determine
what quality means. |
|
I like the
way it focuses not just inward, but also outward. |
|
I like that
I see and feel God’s presence within the church and that He is calling
for growth and that Prince of Peace is responding to that. I strongly
sense that, as I pray for God to provide opportunities for my husband
and I to grow and serve God more, that the ministry plan provides us
that opportunity and that God is calling us to support it and help out
in some way. I am excited and look forward to being a part of God’s
plan in reaching out to others. |
|
We are
excited about the expanding ministry. Especially our outreach to our
younger generation. Without our youth and young families the church
would become stale. |
|
I am
excited by the potential for growth of ministries to other ethnic
groups. I hope that this will one day be reflected in our worship
services. Our attendance is heavily weighted toward “white”, and I
believe we are missing many blessings that come from diversity. As I
look around the sanctuary at this meeting, I see no one who is not of
Northern European ethnicity. |
|
As we
partner with other parishes to call a Hispanic Mission Developer, have
we incorporated lessons learned from a similar venture when we called
Pastor Yun?
I would be
happy to serve on this committee. |
|
I am
excited to hear what is in the possibilities for Prince of Peace
and for the seeking of God’s leading as to which ministries to
pursue.
I thank God
for our pastors, staff and leaders in ministry.
I continue
to hope and pray that our church, which speaks of valuing our youth,
will in fact put that fully into practice by facilities and personnel
and funding. |
|
As we look
to outreach I would suggest that we consider supporting parents.
There are NO programs to help parents that I heard of.
Nurturing God’s Way could be provided at various ages and stages –
Pres-school parents, choir parents, confirmation parents, youth
parents. Kids get together. Parents need a forum to come together to
learn & grown and receive support from their peers.
Of course,
I’d like to reach parents of all nationalities. I need to find people
willing to be trained in Infant Massage plus materials to distribute
to draw them to the classes. |
|
I had not
realized the changes taking place in our church until Pastor John’s
sermon last week, which I found informative. I will be renewing my
personal prayer efforts for PoP’s efforts at outreach and building.
Thank you for your work! |
|
We need to
continue focusing on the youth in order to grow our congregation. |
|
I liked the
plan but the graphs (only a few) and budget summary were a bit hard to
understand. |
|
I think
that the Sunday School Space issue was explained well at this meeting
but nowhere else. 3rd through 8th grade have
enough space. They just don’t have big enough furniture.
Kindergarten is where they don’t have enough space. |
|
The church
was referred to as a corporation which made it sound very impersonal
and that the main goal of our congregation is to raise money, which it
obviously isn’t. I don’t see the point of the analogy and think that
it is needless. |
|
Can we
please consider adding permanent choral microphones to the choir
loft? This could be tastefully done as it is at many churches. |
|
I would
like to see more home group Bible Studies meeting weekly or every
other week. If more adults were involved during the week in
neighborhood study/prayer/home churches, could more space be available
on Sunday morning for the 3rd – 8th graders and
others?
I’m very
excited about prayer. Why Pray is inspiring. I like
the ideas of neighborhood prayer cells. Perhaps combine these with
Bible Study / Home Church?
p.s. I want
to participate in a weekly or biweekly home Bible / Prayer Group. |
